h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Invitation stands! Come on over!

I will come. Any camping space in the backyard or something?

Of course. I have camped in our minute garden several times with the children...
Welcome!

*makes notes*

I'll think about it.

i will definitely try to come so book me as a "maybe definite" even if sankthansaften is actually saturday 23rd

SanktHansAftens aften then ... nitpick!

actually i was thinking maybe you celebrate on a different day in sweden than we do here? could very well be, you know. after all sankthans (saint john's) is a christian holiday while midsummer solstice is a viking holiday.

in estonia they still celebrate valpurgis night, according to hati. we stopped doing that decades ago in denmark.

We only got started with it. Well, it used to be students thing but now it's quite common all over the place. More common anyway than halloween. And in summe we don't celebrate summer solstice, only St.John's, but then that is even bigger event for most of the population than Xmas or anything.

Oh, and as we have both 23rd and 24th of June national holidays, we always celebrate it on 23rd. People who like partying more celebrate 4-5 days in a go, of course.

Valborg is still celebrated in Sweden, yes - we light big fires, and there are choirs 'singing in the spring'

interesting - but we should take this conversation to another thread. sorry for starting it here, milla, will you forgive me?

No worries at all! I thought it was a form of luring?

Form of lurking anyway.

You mean pretend to be nice, friendly types to lure people into coming?

It'll never work.

I'm afraid you are right. We should try to lure people with being weird and unpredictable.

You people!

what can i say? it w*rked for hati

Correct.

ing to be lured.

I have presented the idea to the master of our vehicle, Sig. S. (at least that was what the kids thought, when they were young ) and the master of finances that is me , and *I* agree that it would be a very good idea to go to Lund around Sct. Hans.

I will be more specific and determined in a few weeks' time. I have this book to finish - old assignments to catch up on, a Nordic Freelance Seminar to arrange (8.-10. of June) and a small matter of a 16 pages magazine to write in between other 'interesting' workloads.
