Midsummer is a big deal in Sweden apparently. We’ve made friends with a couple round the corner; the female component being Swedish - and she looks it too, though she has the classical Swedish name of Fatima.

They’ve invited us to a midsummer party and have provided us with a song sheet (there’s songs? FFS) in Swedish, with a helpful English translation.

I’m guessing that the ‘translation’ is phonetic Swedish rather than, you know, a translation.

Although, if the following weirdness is anything to go on, perhaps it is a translation…

Perhaps they’ve always smoked a lot of weed over there?

Edit: sorry about picture orientation. I considered changing it, but cba, tbh

Make sure you take some pizzas. The Swedes like pizza apparently

They clearly use quack, not weed. It'll be very pagan, so wear a kaftan or something. It will involve a bonfire ritual, possibly on the little island or row boat in the middle of their lake (if their garden is big enough). Also, if it's the season, might involve eating whole baby crabs whilst necking spirits, browsing an IKEA catalogue, and listening to Abba. I hope that helps you prepare...enjoy!!

Don’t bother wearing many clothes. It’ll save time when midnight strikes.

Our nearest neighbour’s garden backs onto the Swedish woman’s.

Dave (neighbour) told me shortly after we moved in that Fatima is ‘very Swedish, if you know what I mean’

He’s just bought his 13-year old son a telescope for his birthday. What can possibly go wrong?

The frog song is just an excuse for kids to jump around the pole. The second one is phonetic.

The important thing is that after that second one, you drink a shot.

All of it goes.
Sing "hop faderallan lallan lej"
All of it goes
Sing "hop faderallan lay"
He who doesn't take it all
He doesn't get half
All of it goes.


Basically, drink.

Fatima That is a super telescope your son has Dave. What has he been looking at?

Fatima How amazing!

Is there a ready supply of Poles who are happy to be jumped around? Maybe they get paid well…

I’m hoping Fatima & Akbar will be serving Salisbury steak, boiled potatoes, cream sauce, fried onions, and lingonberries at the party.

Or some of these bad boys!
