So my best friend Gareth decided to do a semester in Sweden this year...he set off on his trip a little bit after Christmas. Last I heard he bought a bicycle that had tyres suitable for riding in the snow. How crazy would you have to be to ride around on a bicycle in snowy terrain - Gareth crazy that's what! Photos of him devouring the box of Dunkin' Donuts would've been more proof of his insanity but I didn't want to scare the children hehehe...I'm KIDDING!
Anyhoo, this arrived in the post yesterday. Perfect right down to the packaging - I heart old school brown envelopes like this one! I got some Swedish chocolates that had melted because our postbox is in the sun but not to worry, they have been labeled 'eat and die' to deter hungry flatties and are returning to their solid form in the fridge as i type this. He also got me some gorgeous knee high socks from Iceland and my fave thing - Gareth made a CD, like i mean made as in recorded one. He played music and sang...i kid you not, this CD is jam-packed with the loveliest guitar sounds and for as long as I've known this boy, I really didn't realize he could sing like that! I'm honoured to have my own copy...wish he'd autographed it though, I'm sure it would've made me some good money when he got famous!
Grr, I hope you're having fun over in Upssala G, NZ isn't the same without ya! Take care!

I love old school brown envelopes too Deb. What a lovely gift. Any chocolates left? Hehe.
ReplyDeleteHahah actually yes, I've rationed them so I'll have enough to last til my next birthday..or at least when Gareth's scheduled to be back in the country. X
ReplyDeleteim feeling the honour right now.. sorry the chocolate didnt make it though, i figured the summer sun down there would have its way with it pretty quick but justified it by the fact the stuff is so good it wouldnt matter what form it took. hope you liked it.
