Sweden
Calling (c)

Well
I've just done my daily check of readers over my 4 sites, The Butcher The Baker
and The Undertaker is the main site by the way, it's named after my comic
novel, all 600 pages of it. To my surprise Sweden is reading me, just after
losing to England Sweden is reading me. So is that a good sign or did the
Finnish and Norwegian cousins recommend me. I have the Slavic cousins already,
Lech, Boris and Gregorgi from Poland, Ukraine and Russia, so should I invent Scandinavian
cousins as well? The idea does appeal. But what would I call the cousins? And
would they always be nudists and be ever so polite, speaking multiple languages
better than the English. Not to mention always free climbing mountains as ropes
are so very uncool.
Bjorn,
Magnus and Sven now what would I do with them? Well maybe I'll just have to go
to the Sauna and sit naked and cogitatate. Lech, Boris and Gregorgi would sit
beside me with a barrel of lager hidden in all the steam, obviously I'd feel
inadequate compared to my Slavic friends. They would drink straight from the
barrel while I like a girl would have a 1 litre tankard, as the steam surged
all around us. Clean living cousins, from Scandanavia, in the war against the
Nazi bastards a great uncle or something was working behind the lines and under
the covers travelling everywhere, and naturally he'd have to hide from those
Nazi bastards. And as it was so cold in Scandinavia, the Scandinavian branch of
the Slavic family was born, or should I say Bjorn.
So
that's the beginnings of an idea, would Lech, Boris and Gregori accept them,
what with their perfectly groomed beards and pressed trousers. I suppose Bjorn,
Magnus and Sven would have to prove themselves. So the six of them would go for
a hike and climb a mountain, with just a backpack each of a small barrel of
larger on their backs. No ropes, they were Scandinavian cousins after all.
Rather like Clint Eastwood in the Eiger Sanction, but obviously much much
tougher. So they all go free climbing
and get to the top of the mountain, then they get drunk. Lech decided lager
would not be enough so he had brought the 2018 batch of new vodka freshly
stilled in Warley Woods, instead of lager.
Now
getting off a mountain when you are still hung over is a very difficult thing
to do, but Scandinavian cousins had thought of that. So they had brought micro
parachutes with them, they were cool Scandinavians, they would jump off the
mountain into a Fiord. Lech, Boris and Gregorgi thought they were joking till
their newly discover cousins just did it.
Bjorn, Magnus and Sven were gone.
5
hours later Lech, Boris and Gregorgi got back to the cabin where dinner was
waiting for them. Bjorn, Magnus and Sven ever so politely apologised, you see
they just had to be in time for Sunday service. Bjorn was the organist after
all, and Magnus a lay preacher, Sven was man who collected contributions. So
they had to get off the mountain quick. No time to make love on any mountain,
though that’s how it all started in the war, they had to pray.
Lech,
Boris and Gregorgi obviously forgave them, blood is thicker that mountains
after all. So Sweden if you are still reading this would you like to join the
family? The Michael Casey the fat, silver haired writer in shades from
Birmingham England family, the comedy of errors, sometimes typing errors. I
have to go clean the toilet now, the wife insists, then I’ll be flushed with
success.
