I just call to say—–
My line is back – hope you had a great (flaggans dag) evening with the rose sparkling. LOL.

It was nice to hear you have such a wonderful summertime in STO.
We’ve been swimming the Oslofjord this afternoon – twice – dressed like we were born – just had to swim without any preparation. LOL.

btw.Hope to be back as normally soon

Glad Svenska Flaggans Dag – Singing: ‘Du gamla, Du fria’ – loudly with you :-O

I’m watching Susanna Kallur, another Swedish ‘princess’ at the Golden League in athletic games in Oslo. Right now she came third – I say: good luck in the Olympics in Beijing!

Hi – first off, really nice website! I love the colors and theme! Canada is very similar, we have a Queen (Queen E) but she doesn’t do much… more for national events etc., Things are mostly done by the PM… probably very similar to how it’s done in Sweden.

Yes, Ling, we still have a King, but he doesn’t have that much power, mostly for official and ceremonial functions. It’s a constitutional monarchy. Our nation’s modern legislative in reality is the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament) with the Prime Minister.

Personally I love the fact that we still have a Royal family, even though some whine about the apanage they get. I consider it well used money and I wouldn’t want to change place with them for all the money in the world. They have no privacy and no private life (hardly any) and I really do indulge them this small compensation for their lives.

Besides that, the Swedish people love their princesses and the prince. It’s so like in the fairytale

Sweden is a Kingdom? You still have a King, or is just a symbloic thing? As for teh graduation day, captain, that should be ok so long as you don’t get drunk and start a fight. Leave that to teh kids.
