Great news from Amal

[fish]

11:45 Easter Monday.
Looks pretty ordinary, that's for sure.

But, I just saw a bird, about the size of a crow, walking over the snow around the second flagpole.

And, apart from that big pile of dirty looking sludge down by the river, the snow is almost all gone.

You're right.

A bright sunny day, and almost no snow !!

[fish]

09:30 Tuesday and it's gone all overcast and cold looking now. The road looks like it's covered in frost.

The only bright thing is that the snow continues to melt.

Oh, and that guy with the dog is back. Looks like it's marking its territory all over again. Pity there's no snow to turn yellow.

[fish]

10:45 Thursday and the town is coming back to life.

Even the tigers are out catching a bit of sun.


I know, I was there.

Friday about 11:30.
Sunny kind of day, looks nice but a bit windy.
Flags of four nations on display.
Hardly any snow left now, but I can't wait for the new grass to give the lawns a better colour.
A few new leaves on the trees wouldn't hurt either.

Three cute girls, not wearing big coats or hats, just had two tries to park their car on the road near the flags, then walked across the road behind that white looking building on the right of the cam range. Wonder what they're up to.
Probably part of the "Welcome home Elin och Agnes" committee I expect.

Tues 09:15.
Sunny with a few clouds in the distance.
Hardly any snow left.

Anyone know the significance of the flags?
Are we in NATO week or somthing?
Big UN meeting in Åmål?

What the hell's going on?

It's driving me .

"The river. Lovingly newly renovated stone edges through the center. The bridge between the square and the plantation is adorable. "Åmål is cozy and so it happens a lot, festivals and stuff," says My Ovensen, 17, and Charlotte Andersson, 19.

Åmål - worth its price
Cavity which is fucking good at almost everything
ÅMÅL
Slowly the river flows through Åmål. It's cozy.

Quietly advocating the ladies at Cafe Lily. It's cozy.

No wonder this town has combed home a prestigious international prize."

...Quietly advocating the ladies at Cafe Lily...

I want to suggest a new web-cam at Cafe Lily so we can check out these "ladies".

[Ian]

My and Charlotte have a bit of an Agnes & Elin vibe going on there...

more Amal lovers:



''Fucking Åmål-tolken Yukari och fucking åhhh Bice''

[fish]

I want to know why all these people aren't posing for us in front of Åmål-cam.

Or at least in front of my own private Cafe Lily-cam.

[snaps]

Mmmm yay hey yay hey! I know where I would like to be right now. Soaking up the Icelandic volcanic clouds in Amal. Isn't this a great advert! I know where my next holiday is going to be



When Agnes and Elin sneaked away for a few nights under canvas, the excitement was intense. (<<<< Geddit? intense) Durrr maybe this should be in the caption thread

(groan)

[fish]

...intense...

Ohhhhhhhhhrr.
I geddit.

For you.

...Soaking up the Icelandic volcanic clouds in Amal.

Sounds yummy.

Thursday round 09:00.

There's a tinge of green about the grass now.
A touch of warmth in the air.
The season of love is almost here.

I heard a rumour that My and Charlotte had met up with Yukari and Bice and that they had all booked into the same one bed cabin out at Husbils camping ground.

Only a rumour mind, but I'm doing my best to keep it going.
