Wembley, Good friends and Sun


Here I am at my office desk... :-) Working away on another application, on my temping job or another project. :-) My friends Anders and Stedde (Fredrik) came to London on a TUESDAY to THURSDAY this past week for the England-Andorra game. As big fans of minnow teams they just couldn't resist this David v. Goliath battle.




And here we are outside Wembley stadium. A state-of-the-art stadium. Really enjoyed it. One day I'll see Sweden lifting the World Cup in this stadium I have a sneaking suspicion :-P Anyway, now you can put a face to my friends names too.




Due to the Tube Strikes which began just as my friends arrived and finished just as they left... it was imperative that we head off to Wembley early. We did so and we left 20 minutes before the game ended as well. It went smoothly enough considering the entire city was at a standstill. The last time Anders was here, we were going to watch a Premier League football game, or a game in the Championship but due to the snow they were all cancelled. As you can see from the pic below, Wembley was not completely full but it was a good showing... around 60,000... double what we get for a Sweden game at RĂ¥sunda for a top game:-P

Before the game we'd been drinking...


and after the game, we continued drinking...


So it was quite a heavy night. But nonetheless absolutely fantastic to get to spend some time with my friends. Good laughs all around. Had some spicy chicken... some crazy kebab and a wacky sausage... among other things :-)


In other news... I'm currently working temporarily for an online soccer management game called Hattrick.org. If you like that kind of thing you should check it out. It's the largest and oldest of its kind and very popular around the world.

Almost forgot, the sun has been out these past few days which is really nice as well. Especially considering that Anne's mom is coming to visit this week. Hope the sun stays out as London is far more interesting in the SUN:-)

Lookin forward to a good week with Anne's mom in town...!!!
