Back in business

Summer's over back to Class... As SLINGBLADE sang. But not back to Class for me, back in the office. I of course had a bit of a problem to sleep last night but it wasn't too bad to be back. Everything went very slow though. Guess it will be better in a few days.

But it was a nice vacation. Rather busy though, as usual... First a few short days at home before I made a trip to Sandviken for a few days, then back home to repack and head of for Headbangers Open Air and some more events in Germany, back home again and prepare for a Void Moon rehearsal and clean the house. Then I had a week in the house just messing around. Peter and David was recording new songs for their new project with Jacques B and I supported with food. Felt very good to play in the kitchen, ran out of good lunch and dinner ideas after a while though. 


Of course, a lot of time has been spent out on the porch and the cute little cat has been hanging around almost all days. Guess it wasn't the best to leave a cushion out, which of course became very popular instantly. But who could take it away when being met by this;
The cat just looks too comfortable and cozy.

I also got myself a new computer. First since the old ones really can't handle the heavy files from the camera nor the new software I need to support my Canon EOS 5 MkIII as well as the 50D. Got some tips from Jonas what to get and that worked fine, easy to order and the Inet shop in Malmö was a good one, friendly staff. It took a while to set it up and of course the Adobe page for ordering a Creative Cloud subscription was down the first day. When I got Photoshop and Lightroom installed everything worked fine with all raw files! YEY!!!! 
But... My huge monitor which has been so good with the old computer didn't really work with my new, resolution is absolutely not enough so I still can't edit the pictures. I have checked out one and will order it so I can pick it up this coming weekend (or have it shipped home, we'll see). Then I should be ready to go!!!










It's been fun being out with the camera these days too. Fullmoon out, but it's hard to get good pictures of it. Got some nice ones with my phone though and a bit of editing it looks very cool. Speaking about photos. Peter's and David's new band also needed photos and we took a walk around Höör shooting band pics in the middle of the night, parts of the Cemetary is always popular. Wonder what the locals really think! They didn't seem too scared though, more curious. One guy stuck around for a while but his dog was terrified of the guys. Another rather drunk lady also stopped by and that was the funnies English accent I've ever heard, Swinglish really in Helsingborg accent.

And it shows that the summer are heading towards fall... Spiders are coming in!

 

Not the biggest we've had but still rather impressive. They will get fatter during the winter though. Apart from Spiders, the whole porch has been infested with snails, both the killer ones, regular and the ones with a house. They crunch rather much when being stepped on. Not intentionally of course but they're everywhere.

Well, I'm aiming for an early evening tonight! Better take care of the last tasks before it's time to sleep.

Cheers
