And Ireland it is!!!

I thought I might write in english every now and then so english speakers will understand.

The weekend is soon over again... but I have only one week to go before I have 2 weeks off. I booked flight tickets to Ireland today (11-17 of april). I'm probably gonna go to a place called Sligo (Strandhill) apparently it is one of the better surf spots in Ireland. Aron, an irish guy I met 2 years ago in Portugal, recommended this place and he has been surfing around Ireland a fair bit.  The only problem is that SAS didn't yet know if I could bring my board on one of the flight, if I can't I have to cancel my flight and find a new one. Strandhill beach. Can't wait

Yesterday I was with Brian, Mick Fanning (his real name is David but he's a Mick Fanning-look a like so we call him that) and some other people headed downtown for some beers. We went to a bar called skål, it was a really nice place. From 8.30 to 9.30 they switched off all of their light (earth hour) and we were all sitting in candle light for an hour. I think it's great that bars also participate in this kind if actions. If anybody has seen any approximations of how much energy was saved yesterday, let me know.

I've been listening a lot to Tom Waits today, especially the album "Heart of Saturday Night". I love his deep and hoarse voice.

  1. Swedish electricity operator Svenska Kraftnät recorded 2.1% decrease in power consumption from its projected figure between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. The following hour, the corresponding number was 5%.[10] This equals the consumption of approximately half a million households out of the total 4.5 million households in Sweden.[11]
