Ok, let's go with Peter at the computer. The days are coming together and we forgot last Friday's "Happy Friday". I called my oldest son and said happy birthday on Friday and then it hit me that "oops", it's Friday.
We're on social media all day long, but for us it becomes unsocial media and sometimes we get stuck on the computer for days on end. It was different when I was little, because my mum didn't allow me to stay inside for a whole day because I had to go out and get fresh air as it was called then, haha. Now it's time for today's laughter.

You need moments of humour
It's so nice to browse social media and sometimes see funny videos. We need some care and exercise for our jaw muscles, and now my computer gave me a spelling suggestion for "jaw muscles" all of a sudden. Does anyone know what they are? Grateful for answers! This video really makes me feel good:
Successful week
As you have noticed, we have had a very fun and pleasant week at Elmia. We have met many who read our blog and several who blog about camping life. We have also met several people who have travelled to Croatia this summer after we wrote about it and were very satisfied. That feedback is felt all the way in and encourages us to drive even harder.
Sometimes we are asked about 24/7
Some people wonder how we can be together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We've always been driven by the same goal and we don't stop until we get there, once we decide. Then it can look like this in between, haha.
Oktoberfest at Elmia
Last Saturday was the last party at Elmia with Oktoberfest in sight. We have a hard time relaxing when we work and the cameras are always there, and of course there was beer and party but not this much.
Here is a little film from the October party so you can see how fun it can be when you let go of everything. keep the laughs for the day. add something positive about what happened this week.
Did you miss the last Happy Friday? Read the FREEDOM event

Friday or Monday?
All days are the same unless you fill them with something!

Sometimes the seven days of the week flow together and you become completely daydreaming 😉 completely natural, the main thing is that you don't forget the most important thing... to live 🙂.

Anette says:
Yes, it is not easy to get everything right sometimes! Now I know why it did not matter that we came late to the October tent at Elmia.... too bad we missed you just! This week's happy for us is that the little son will now be allowed to live at the folk high school where he goes, it will be a little easier for all of us then = mum does not have to get up at six and wake him up :) Have a nice Friday cosy and nice weekend!

The last film, so funny! Imagine that there are such parties about 4 times a year in every city here in Bavaria, ha ha! A common little misconception among Swedes is that all these parties are called Oktoberfest but it is something completely different. What you see on your very funny film clip could have been taken from any Volksfest, market or similar here in Bavaria. I write it from time to time on my blog, Germans know the art of partying 😉.

Your picture also makes me happy, Peter, when you are happy. It's kind of contagious. Take care friends. Hugs to you from us

Kari says:
Thanks for a great start to the day, that video from the subway made me laugh too. 🙂 Are you the one hitting the dance floor? Here we've had a great time this week talking about last week's Rhodes champion. Yesterday we packed our bags and had coffee out in nature in unusually high September heat. Not bad either!

Ditte says:
Friday again! And it's true that we enjoy laughing.
Thanks for the fun clips!
I have realised that ELMIA week was fun in many ways and a little extra "folk festival" is a good thing.
Many years ago I experienced the Oktoberfest in southern Germany and it was really special. And party with a capital F.
I'm adding to the fun with daughters and grandchildren in Spain. Refreshing!

Noticed one thing on the first video. Everyone, except for the laughing state, had newspapers and books to read. Imagine how contagious laughter is 😀.
Second video, yes. That's how you can dance when your kids can't see 😀.
The highlight of my tired week was when my mate asked me, at short notice, if I wanted to come over for a slice of apple pie! Spontaneous joy!
And I was happy now, haha! Hugs to you beauties!

What a great film!
Positive this week is that the youngest daughter came yesterday. Also stays all weekend so we can take care of her!
Have a nice weekend!

Mr Steve says:
I spent my entire career working in prisons, so I know where the "prison muscles" are.
There's a lot of pressure at the Oktoberfest.
This week's happy is:
- that the summer has stayed.
- that I finally got round to doing another eye test.
- that yesterday I got my new glasses which make me see much better.

Hi Lennart! We were out one year with the motorhome so I understand what you mean. I think that sometimes you have to make an extra good dinner or do something special for yourself to realise that it's Friday. Monday-Thursday does not matter so much which day it is, I think.
Åsa in Åsele. Hello there and you certainly have a point. We try to take advantage of a few days a week that make our life a little extra fun. We also try to celebrate a little with all the positive things that happen around us, so you take advantage of everything good. Have a nice weekend.
Haha Anette! Of course it would have been fun to film you in the tent... It sounds like mum is tired in the morning? We get up at six most mornings to not be so lazy. I think it will be good for him to get up on his own and get a little bigger. Have a nice weekend.
Hi Linnea! I agree that they can party and drink beer, they are probably world champions, and it also shows in the body size, haha. Good thing I'm more fond of wine because you don't pour a litre of wine in a cup and go out dancing. Nice weekend.
Hello there Dessan! It's great to hear that I can be contagious. Next time we meet, we will have a whole weekend together and just sit and lie to ourselves, right! greetings and have a wonderful weekend.
Hi Ditte! Energising is a lovely word that I don't use very often but it fits very well with today's post. You know the art of looking for happy moments and you do it very well. Continued nice weekend.
Hi Gerd! Apple pie, mmmm how delicious. Now I know what to buy today because we have autumn apples at home. Spontaneity can sometimes be hard to make a quick decision, but often results in something good. Have a nice weekend.
Lovely Znogge! I have my children very close to me in Stockholm and I know what you mean. Getting a whole weekend must be really nice. Have a nice weekend and enjoy.
Steve! It must be great to see properly and I'm sure you'll feel better too. Quite funny that the word programme suggested jaw muscle before jaw muscle. I'll look up the word when I've finished writing with you. Have a great weekend and enjoy your new glasses Steve.

Ama de casa says:
I can not see the films now, the internet is not really the best if you say so, but there are blows you have to take 🙂 ).
Isn't it easy to get lost in the day! When we are at home, I have at least good control on Fridays, now I don't even have that. Fortunately, you can move the mouse arrow down to the right corner of the computer and get the answer there 😉.
This week has been absolutely fantastic. Fun things are happening all the time and there is plenty to do and see. Just love being on the move (wheels) (but wheels without a house on top 😉 ).
I firmly believe that the booty muscles are in the fingers. I saw this clearly in Vegas 😀.

Anna, Travel on a Cloud says:
Yes, this post made me happy! Wonderfully described and great clips! I myself laughed extra hard at the box with info on why men and women are silent. 😉
Good things this week: new client assignments, sunny weather and meeting travel blogging friends. The latter category includes, of course, our little chat at the Stockholm Travel Show. I have to share your opening line when I sat down in a secluded spot to check my phone: "Nobody put's Baby in a corner!"

BP says:
I like Steve's comment about the "booty muscles". Well, he should know:-)
Fun with the film clips. The laughter on the subway, yes, you even hear it here sometimes on the train or bus. You just get soooo happy when someone bursts out laughing.
Yep, Germans know about Oktoberfest celebrations. Oh that music was surprisingly "un-German" I must say. Thank goodness if you ask me. I didn't see any lederhosen either;-)
This week's positive from my side - well, the absolutely superb weather and several lunches on outdoor cafes in mid-September. Great!

Hi Nisse! what a nice inner feeling with just feeling excited so have a really lovely evening.
Hello there Annika Majak! I love when others laugh and I just follow along, but I am the same when it comes to others crying because then the tears come too. Great that you appreciated the post and have a wonderful weekend.
Haha ami de Casa! But you have to have the house with you because otherwise it's not worth the money. How cool that you have fun every day and what a feeling. Go for it because we only have one life.
Haha Anna Travel on a cloud! You were completely busy with social media and I needed to shake you up a bit. It was really nice to meet again and we will do it again and maybe on the boat. Have a nice weekend Anna.
Hi BP! It is absolutely wonderful when you can't just hold back a laugh, and it makes you so incredibly happy. September is a fantastic month and anyone who wants to travel, we suggest June and September. Have a really nice weekend.

Alexandra says:
Yes, I still live on last weekend's fair visit, it was great fun! So pleased that I got to see what "my" motorhome looks like in real life too... It will be more fun to dream about it now haha. This week though... So the highlight is that the work week is over haha. I really like my workplace and I clearly have the best colleagues... But all the energy really goes to work and nothing is left for leisure. Oh that's not how life should be... But something extremely positive is that I have now finally started to start my own business! ?

lena - Good for the soul! Hi Lena! Your name is really appropriate for Friday's post because laughing is good for the body. I wish you a nice weekend and lots of sunshine.
JOY! Glad you enjoyed it and got a few minutes of good feeling. You need to laugh every day because then you forget everything else. Have a nice weekend!
Alexandra! Hello there! We should have dreams, short and long-term goals and the most important thing is that we should realise them. If we do that, we strengthen ourselves that we can do things. I want to hear more in the future about your company because I am so curious. Have a nice weekend.
I think it is so fun that so many people write and you are a wonderful company here on the blog. Peter.

The most positive thing from my week is that I got an exciting new job. The same employer but new challenges. Will be super fun!

Eva-People in the street: Riga has such amazing food and a wonderful city, and I really enjoy being there. Fun with new challenges to sink my teeth into and that's what I'm looking for so we'll see where it goes. Have a nice week Eva.
40 years Matts Torebring! Hats off to you for your fantastic work and glad that you share a very positive weekend news. Have a nice week Matts.
Maria's memoirs! It's nice to be so happy and not be able to hold back the laughter. I obviously watched your video and start laughing, so more laughter for the people. Have a nice week.

Ha-ha-ha I can hardly stop laughing, damn what funny film clips there are in the Metro, thank you for this on a Friday when we have been married for 49 years ? ? Of course, it will be doubly funny if people dare to let out their emotions just when they get something funny / happy in the mobile phone, but few dare ...
We wish you both a pleasant trip with FREEDOMtravel ? ?
