My family
I have a lovely wife, Marie or "Mimmi"
, and two wonderful girlsPaulina ( 11 years )
and Louise ( 7 years ).
We live in a nice little house in Hässelby a suburb to Stockholm. I spend a lot of time at the golfcourse and a nice sunny day I can make a round of +18. I also like travelling and all kind of sports.

Sorry, haven't got the time yet!
The year of 1999
In June we travelled to France by car. One week at the French riviera at Cap d'Agde and then Paris and EuroDisney for a few days. The children loved it and so did I. During the summer I visited the World Police and Fire Games that were held in Stockholm. Since I left the brigade by then I didn't participate. The rest of the summer and autumn was very hot and in fact Stockholm hasn't had that high temperatures in 200 years! In september my youngest sister gave birth to a little Oscar. (There will be a picture of him.) In October we gave a very successful Halloween party with some relatives in Blekinge. Everyone had nice outfits.
The year of 1998
In february we went downhill skiing in the north of Sweden. Our two daughters made great progress, and tried to go up and down the childs hill by their self.
We went to Paris in May to celebrate our 10th anniversary of our wedding. It was three wonderful days!
Our summer holiday was really raining away from the first to the last day, but we enjoyed it anyway! Meeting relatives and friends as well as playing golf. The only time my patience run out was when they had to close the golf course for five days because the greens and fairways mostly consisted of water ponds!
In October I had the opportunity to visit the Fire Academy of Poland in Warsaw. We were three persons from Sweden who held lectures about the Swedish Fire and Rescue Services as one part in a joint European project called Tempus.
The year of 1997
During this summer I've been to see Legoland, Denmark with my family. I also visited the 11th International Contest for firemen in Herning, Denmark. After this I just enjoyed life by doing nothing else than golf, getting a suntan and, when it got to hot, take a bath to cool off! I hope you have had just as nice summer as I have had.
In the autumn I went to a six week rescue service course called the HRK. The purpose is getting people from different organisations ( i.e police, fire, ambulance, coast guard, military, air and sea rescue etc.) together in order to improve cooperation in rescue operations.
In November I had a wonderful week at Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands. I spent a lot of the time with my kids in the water. Volleyball and running kept me in shape, and allowed me to really enjoy the marvelous dinners. My favourite starter was "papas con mojo" which is potatoes cooked with much salt and served with a special garlic sauce.
