Hello everybody. There's been a while since I last wrote to you and there could be two reasons why. I'm either to lazy since I've had “Sportlov” = Swedish for winter break. Or Erica doesn't give me enough assignments. Anyway, I'm about to tell you guys about something I did on my break.

Me and my family packed our bags and jumped in our car early on Thursday morning.

We drove about 50 km until we reached a place called Sälen. After that, we checked in to our ski-hotel where we were going to stay until Sunday morning and rented our skis.

It sounds good but things didn't quite as well as we were planning.

Friday was going to be our first day in the slope. We put on our equipment and took the lift to the slope.

The slope was emptier than usually and I started to ask myself why but then I went down the slope and I realised why there were so little people skiing. IT WAS FREAKING ICE COLD! But since we had spent a lot of money on this trip, we kind of had to ski for a while at least.

We enjoyed the after-ski and the rest of the day a lot more than the day in the slope.

The next day wasn't a lot of fun. It was Saturday and we were about to go out to the slope but the wind didn't agree. It was worse than the day before. So we simply packed our bags and went home again. Thousands of SEK spent to drive 100 miles and we couldn't even enjoy our only day in the slope. Success I say.
 
By the way. A bird told me that i was going to connect my happening to a song. That's why i'd like to post Arvingarna - Eloise since they were performing on the after-ski.

Dear readers. You already know me at this point so I'm going to tell you guys a little about Robert Swindells, the author of the book I'm supposed to read.

The book is called Ruby Tanya by the way.

Robert was born the 20^th of Mars, 1939 in a town called Bradford in England. Born 1939 and still alive. Pretty awesome huh?

Anyway. He was the first of five children.

When Robert turned 15 he actually jumped off school to start working on a newspaper which can sound pretty stupid and probably is for a lot of people but not for this guy. He's a world famous author now so I wouldn't say that he failed at life.

He joined the Royal Air Force and had quite a few jobs before he started to teach.

In 1973, he published his first book When Darkness Comes. He combined writing and teaching until 1980 when he chose writing as a primary profession.

Robert Swindells first award was the Children's Book Award in 1984 but that doesn't matter to me.

The real reason why I picked this book and author is because I've read his book Stone Cold that won the Carnegie Medal in 1993. This book is the best book I've ever read and I would read the book all over again if I could. (The book is only 150 pages and I need to read 200.)

I know that this post have been boring but Erica made me write it :(

Over and out!

Hello in the cranberry woods!
Eric Jönsson here! This is my first year here at the Hotell & Restaurant program at Idas Skola, Bäckadal. I'm 16, almost 17 years old and i live together with my parents, my brother and sister in a small house in Ljungarum. I have my own room with a large flatscreen tv and a medium large bed which is very comfortable. I've added two optional courses in school, so I don't have a lot of spare time but when I do have some, I usually play handball, hang out with friends or just simply sit in front of the computer. You might wonder why I added the two courses. Everyone does. It's simply because I wanted to have a little more to do at school.
 
Now you know me. Not much. but more than the predominantly half of the world.
 
Over and out, your beloved Eric!
