Ok, here we go! Peter at the keyboard and we continue with new times. In the floorball team we had big plans for Kallhäll IF so why not expand. We trained 2 days a week and we played in three series every weekend, and one of the series was against adults and this group was only 16 years old, but they will be hardened.

ShareWe travelled like crazy between games and it took a lot of time, but we raised 20 crazy teenagers in the suburbs who wanted to smash everything they could get their hands on. We went to tournaments and even played the final against Falun one year, so it went very well. A few years ago, I was told by some of the team that I had been a mentor for them to cope with life, and oh how it warmed, it warmed more than many people can imagine.
Table of contents
The winds are changing
Meanwhile, my son Robin didn't want to live with me anymore because he wasn't happy with us and it was hard. He trained and played in the team but it was to see me. The love with my wife had run out of commitments and I didn't know what love meant anymore. I live on emotion and I need it, LOTS of it and love came like a letter in the post.
We had a lot of parties in our terraced house and one day a girl called Helena came to party with us, and what a nice girl I thought, but nothing more and life went on. During the year there were parties from time to time in our home, and this girl showed up sometimes and suddenly I couldn't get her out of my head. I was 43 years old and stuck being a dad and every day looked the same. My wife was happy with that, but I want a lot more out of life.
Helena
This girl Helena got into my head. I don't know if it was the smell,
the feeling in my stomach or what happened but I HAD to see her again. At a party I invited her personally and it felt like I was 14 years old again. Scared, hand sweating, can't sleep, haha, and I also needed to talk about everything I'm good at, like a damn salesman. OMG I'm going to make a complete fool of myself.
Helena had everything I wanted a girl to have and she was just WOW. We created half an hour in the middle of the night alone and I explained what I was feeling and she felt the same and what a relief. NEW YEAR'S NIGHT, champagne, no fuck the champagne, LOVE, yes LOVE, peace and FREEDOM, finally FREEDOM. After 12 years, a crossroads came and I walked my way towards the future.
New times
Helena and I fell very much in love with each other so there was no going back. After talking to my wife about divorce and all the hard things that came up, I moved out after 3 very difficult months. Attempts at persuasion, seduction tactics, crying, fighting, the kids being upside down, friends and family hating me every day for my actions.
I know I hurt a lot of people but I couldn't live another 40 years to please others. With all the experience I had in my life, I somehow knew that Helena was the one, or we knew. Helena's friends told her that Peter will back down when the pressure comes, but she knew he wouldn't. I took my stereo and my clothes and moved. I had my 2 sons, and Helena had a one-room apartment on St:Eriksplan in Stockholm of 22 square metres and two domestic rats, TOP! What do we do now?
Future
We were subletting a three-bedroom apartment in Sundbyberg and that was the time we had to change the situation. My youngest son Billie, who was 7 years old, came to us on the second day and had his say.
The bed in the apartment for us adults was a 120-wide bed and he didn't like that, because we were almost lying on top of each other. Only my dad and my mum can do that. All three of us went to IKEA and bought a big double bed and then he thought it was ok, CHECK!
Divorce is hard on children and of course we had a lot of problems in the transition, but Helena was fantastic with my youngest son Billie. He went off the rails at school which we thought was due to the divorce, but it later turned out to be a bigger problem than we ever realised.
My eldest son Robin has always walked on rails and done everything right in life, almost scary. Always happy, caring, sensible and he still is today. Helena and I also talked about how we wanted to travel more and where we wanted to go. We both said we wanted to travel in New Zealand and the Trans-Siberian Railway through Russia.
Here we go again, haha
The plan was to completely renovate Helena's flat, sell it and find something bigger in 6 months. Being newly in love, wanting to love and get to know each other emotionally was not on the map, so forget it because we had a "MISSION".
As early as the weekend of the first week we moved in, we started to demolish Helena's studio, and move all her belongings to the apartment we had rented. Every evening and every weekend the renovation was in full swing and Billie was there. Leaving Billie every morning at school in the wrong direction in Stockholm, working, picking up, eating and renovating. Every other week with children and every other week without.
It has to work!
After 3 months it was ready and we got 1.1 million for the apartment and it was one of the better sales in Stockholm at the time. After the estate agent had taken his money, we had one million kronor. Helena does not have a driving licence and did not want to move too far from the city, so we focused on Sundbyberg. Helena was studying and I had remarks so no one could borrow, and of course there were no larger apartments for a million in Sundbyberg, a difficult location!
Just then a sale came up of an old office that was just converted to a condominium with a starting price of 600,000 and 76 square metres. 4 office rooms in bright colours with glass panes between the rooms, a trinket kitchen and a disgusting bathroom. 2.2 metre ceilings and lots of ventilation systems under the tiled ceiling. GRANDIOSO WE MUST HAVE HIM!!!!!
Helena almost fell over backwards but I saw all the possibilities and my brain went into overdrive. I had finished drawing the apartment in 5 minutes in my head, so I wanted to start right away. There was bidding and we got it for exactly one million, so now we had just over two months to organise this.
"We demolished the entire office and all the ventilation equipment in the ceilings that we had bought and there was one load-bearing wall left. Now we had 76 square metres and a ceiling height of 3 metres, and it would be a three-bedroom apartment in baroque style. Helena had some savings, I could get some money and I also had my construction company. As usual in my life, sleep is overrated so full throttle to renovate, but not just any renovation. Helena also loved old style mixed with new technology.
What timing
Meanwhile, Helena's grandmother had moved into a home at 93 years old and she had been buying old furniture all her life. Helena had been to her grandmother in Halmstad and picked out what she wanted, so a lorry of 18th and 19th century furniture came to us during the renovation, which fitted in perfectly with what we had in mind.
We couldn't do the children's room and the bathroom but we could move in, phew. We continued to renovate every day for two more years to get what we wanted. I had previously learnt how to marble, wire, pipe, paint, tile and build. Marbling the living room ceiling was a new challenge because of course there should be marbling in the ceilings if you think 18th century.
In the second year of the renovation, we got the chance to buy a 42 square metre apartment next to us, which had also been an old office. We already had the 5th gear in, so NOW WE'RE GOING! We borrowed on our flat and bought it for 860,000. We demolished everything and continued working around the clock.
There was no time for floorball or overtime work. After 3 months we sold it for 1.3 million. After taxes and expenses we got 300,000 in the account and what are we going to do with the money? TRAVEL! Now our journey begins in earnest. Russia and New Zealand, HERE WE COME!
2003-2006. Now you too can fill up or something wonderful from the week!
Next week: Travelling the world, buying a camper van and social phobia

Your Life story just gets better and better. Now also spiced with a Love story. Isn't it wonderful when Love strikes? So many wonderful ingredients today;
- your importance to the floorball boys,
- Helena's entry into your life.
- the younger son's acceptance of the new situation.
- your great apartment deals and renovations.
Thanks Peter, I only see light even though it's pitch black outside my window. I hope the snow chaos subsides with you and that you have a really nice weekend together!

What a wonderful read this Friday! Almost makes me a little teary-eyed.
Love is so important. And sometimes it is just there, behind the corner! 😀
I will be happy 😀 this Friday about your wonderful Love story ♥ love conquers all, as well.
I also found my puzzle piece ♥ many years ago and we wrote together "The Real Love Story" ♥ We both had a broken marriage behind us. I am so grateful for everything we experienced.

Ama de casa says:
Fantastic! What a beautiful love story, and what a huge amount of work you put into that apartment! Or those apartments, rather.
When I saw the top picture and then I read the text a little further down, I thought that you might benefit from those "20 crazy teenagers in the suburbs who wanted to smash everything they could get their hands on" 😉 .
But what happened to the rats? 😉
You are a wonderful storyteller. I'm completely captivated by your stories.
In 2003 - 2006 our world travelling almost came to an end. The reason was that on impulse we happened to buy a holiday apartment in Spain in 2002 which was ready to move into in 2003. So almost all our free time was spent in Spain. Even though I had clearly said when I bought the flat that I hadn't seen the end of the world...

There have been renovations here too. But not on that scale. But more family life Work, children, wife. cars and caravan. Move between houses and even all the way down to Skåne. The job moved and was asked if I wanted to follow. But heavenly fun to read how you / you have taken you forward.

Eva - People in the Street says:
Of course, you only know when you have found the right love! Then it is really just to drive 🙂 You are really created for each other.
What a great apartment you got too! Impressive.
In 2003-2006, I also became a fortnightly parent and lived in a small three-bedroom apartment and had a sleeping area in the TV room (blah). So in December 2006 I bought my own villa in Gammelstad for me and the children. Renovated it, but left the original shutters in the kitchen from 1964. Spray-painted them Ferraris red and bought a black SMEG fridge. Chequered floor to go with it. Decided that NO ONE but me and the kids would live there... Ever!

So wow, what a LIFE! AND thank you for letting me read about it. What trials you went through, and then always landed on your feet.
I am soooo happy that Helena and you met. Realise that you are soul mates grande and just kind of belong together. AND then I am happy that Helena and your son have such a good relationship.
Remember your old flat, really magnificent. Cool.
THANK YOU for your honest sharing.
Have a great weekend from a Washington DC that is shocked and stunned!

Anette Åhnbrink says:
What a Love-story❤️ But nice that you found the right one in the end! It was a lot of renovation you have been doing, but it gave results! We probably did some ourselves too, there would be separate rooms for three so the basement and grandmother's weaving room had to move! Otherwise, it started to straighten out on the home front, and in 2005 I went into my husband's company and we could work and be free together ? Now our travelling began! We had acquired a new motorhome in 2004 and it was now well used, mostly in the summer but we travelled a lot to the mountains as well! A new era began! All was not peace and joy, but the big guys had their peak in their handball careers, and the little one was more harmonious and we got relief, so it was the beginning of a "quiet" period in our life!
Happy of the week, that we didn't get your snow in Stockholm! We'll see if we come up in two weeks...now I sit in the motorhome in a sunny Varberg and wait for the man, we start the weekend in advance, will work on Sunday instead...looking forward to the continuation next Friday? Have it now so heavenly good this weekend both of you?

Marianne - Glimpses of the world says:
What a great job you did with the renovation! What a transformation of the premises!
In the spring of 2003 I went to folk high school and went on my first trip outside Europe; to Kenya. After that I moved to Oslo and started studying, so 2003-2007 was my study period.

What a great read at the end of the week. You are very good at writing, not only at building and renovating..... one can almost see you working, day and night, with the renovations. 🙂 Fantastically done.....you never thought that, with that stress, it could end up with a heart attack 🙂.
I'm glad you avoided that and found love instead.
Now I have to go back and read previous posts....there hasn't been time for that before. Good luck with your travels and I look forward to reading more.

Ditte says:
Sometimes things happen for a reason and that was the case the day you met Helena.
A lot of renovations with a huge amount of work, but also a chance to get money for travelling. A lot in life you prioritise, sacrifice some and get so much else and if you want it, most of it is possible. (Illnesses and accidents removed.)
I'm impressed that you were able to do it, but you had a goal and a lesson to learn. Very important.

Brilliant, great, impressive and what a story about your life and how you manage to land on your feet every time and find new love. That you just managed to handle everything Peter, well done. Your stories have also triggered my own thoughts about the life I have had, and maybe it can be something in the future for my loved ones.
Thank you and good luck!!!

Unbelievable Peter,
Talk about being in the dock, coming to the party and hitting the neck brace to get up like a winner.
I Love IT!
High-level love, but liked......
You are truly worth it.
I myself began a new era in 2004 by becoming self-employed full-time after double working for 12 years (at least 100-150 hours / week, you know, you do not count. You just drive on.....
But now a new journey has begun again
Top five in My life.
Very funny and nice
I am doing as you say, enjoying.....
I don't want to trade with you right now, if I understand correctly. Snow should be on the ski slope and nowhere else.
For me, it's really been Happy Friday, read on FB.
Take care and I look forward to next Friday.
So long Peter and greet your love.

There is not much that surprises me anymore with you/you, I can say:-) That you became a mentor for the floorball guys does not surprise me at all. You always put 100 per cent into everything no matter what it is. Thus, it is clear that you are a role model for the boys. Praise!
As for the love for Helena, one thinks that such things only exist in films, but you succeeded irl. The two of you are really made for each other.
Creating the "castle" in Sundbyberg - what a thing, what a fantastic craftsmanship job! My admiration is well over 100 per cent, I can say.
2003-2006 was a period of unemployment (2003-2005) for me after the company I worked for went bankrupt. During these years I made "big money". I had money from the Social Security Council and A-kassa, so there was no need for me. But look here! http://computerart.tk/ I can also be creative;-) Sold as much computer art as possible, and there was a lot of travelling with nice pocket money, so to speak. Stopped with the art in 2009. Also wrote a picture book about the husband's hometown in England. It became a "big seller" - well, 200 copies in the small town, but still. Unemployment does not have to be crushing if you are a little creative and have imagination;-)

So wonderful to read about how you met! You really are a couple that fits together - you radiate that! I am so glad that I got to know you better during our trip to the Czech Republic! You really enriched my trip.

Go, go, go! Of course you'll reach future goals too.

Britt-Marie says:
As I have written before, your early morning posts brighten my train journeys to work. Not to mention your posts about your life. I met my soul mate online almost six years ago and although I didn't really have any thoughts of cohabitation again, it only took a week before it was a fact and if you are at a fairly mature age you have no more time to waste. Now we really try to make use of all the time we have, travel as much as we can both by motorhome and in other ways, even though I will work for a few more years, while enjoying everything that life offers, including a total of four daughters and soon six grandchildren... Life is incredibly cool, but you have to dare to take the next step (otherwise you can stand on one leg for the rest of your life).

Ok, here we go. I've been at a photo/wine/food fair all day and I haven't had a chance to respond to all the wonderful posts from you guys. I sat here for an hour responding tonight and was almost done, but accidentally went off the page and everything disappeared, so now I'm doing it again, haha.
Anonymous: Thank you for writing and following along and of course there will be more. Have a nice week.
Ulla Widing. Now I have said hello to Helena and she is happy:-). I'll be back next week with madness. Nice weekend.
Geddfish: Hi Gerd! How nice that you got a part of life that was extra good and you can live long on that, even if you want more. Thank you for sharing and taking care of yourself. Have a nice week.
Ama De Casa: How nice that you feel the joy through the text, love it! The rats only live about two years so it ended naturally. You live such a nice life and have done so many years. Maybe a little calmer than me, haha but I know you enjoy it and that's enough for me. nice week.
Joy: It's JOY, isn't it! Have a nice week.
Nils-Åke: Of course we have all struggled to get our everyday life and family together. I'm glad you like to come along on the journey and thank you for sharing. Have a nice week.
Eva-People in the street: What a great place to live! Ferari red cupboard doors and chequered floor. A little hey babyribba over it. Now we come to never which you should NEVER say and I know there will be more, haha. Nice weekend.
Annika: What nice comments and they feel. THANK YOU! It's nice to meet someone who wants the same thing year after year. Poor people sitting in a divided USA, because now it is really DIVIDED. I hope something good comes out of this as it has for many others. Have a nice weekend.
Anette Åhnbrink: What a cosy story that ends peacefully. What we have all gone through and everyone has their story. Thank you for all the nice words and I am blowing some snow south-west just to mess around a bit. Have a great weekend and take care of each other.
Hi Marianne-Glimpse of the world: Kenya is really good we think so what a fun trip you made. Are you Norwegian or did you move there when you studied? Feel free to write sometime and tell us. Have a nice weekend.
Thanks Maggan: It warms me that you like what and how I write. I hope you sit down when you go back and read:-). Hugs and nice weekend.
Hi Znogge: I think you are absolutely right? It is in my spinal cord and it still is. I will probably never stop, phew. Have a nice weekend.
Hi Ditte: You always have to sacrifice something to get something. It is important to bet right and this time I got 7 right and the jackpot. Have a nice week Ditte.
Kenneth Risberg: Thank you for your words and of course others want to hear your stories like I do. It is part of life to share your experiences. Have a nice weekend.
Hi Rico:-) What fun that you hear from you and I know what you mean when you almost only work in your life. We get pay for the effort today, right. You missed a lot in your years so now you just have to drive and you live NOW! Have a nice week that I know you have and we will hear from you again soon.
How cool BP: I've checked and how hip it still is, or actually even more so today. I think you can sell this again, but maybe you do. I agree with you that "some" can get the momentum going by thinking "what do I do now" when unemployed. Thank you for your very nice comments and they are warming, you know. Helena mentioned that you were at the photo fair and I thought it was bad, but the food fair was very good. Have a nice week BP.
Anna-Travel on a cloud: Thank you very much you cheerful and nice woman. You always have a smile and a laugh so we enjoy your company too. Thank you for being out there. Have a nice week Anna.
Britt Marie: I love when you write that life is awesome and you took advantage of life because you dared. That's how everyone should think and I just love it because we don't know what will happen next week. Thanks for the nice words and take care of yourself. Have a great weekend and we'll talk again soon.
Matts Torebring: Hahahahahaha, Yes, that's really true! Now we know that we are old. I'm going to start socialising more with 90 year olds so I can be called a youth again, haha. Have a nice week Matts.
Rolle & Carina: THANK YOU for your kind words and I know my job as a craftsman. Now I have left it and am investing in a new career and it is really tough but we will succeed, there is nothing else. Have a nice weekend.
Ruth in Virginia: Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing such wonderful and beautiful stories from your life. There is so much good in you and you really make the most of what you are given. I understand that it must and certainly is sometimes to have lost a loved one, but how nice that he is there all the time anyway. I also want a neighbour like you Ruth so now it's time to take a few years on a houseboat in Sweden. Just pack the computer in the car and drive and we'll see you in the spring. Thank you for everything you tell me and I look forward to next Friday. Many hugs from me.

What energy and work! It was really hard work, and a risk, to travel with the money that was left over. Impressed that you can do so much, running electricity and all that. I called the electrician the other day when a fuse went, went in a second to change it 🙂 being a little more practical would not have hurt at all.

Happy to share with you
"what was". I have rewritten a part of my life to
grandchildren but not much response. They become
probably like me: "I wish I had been older, when I was young.
and would have asked more."
It's nice to get a response from a human being, which I understand.
I think the reason for my enjoyment of life is, that I always
is interested in people. Believes that everyone is good until they
proves otherwise. My mother again.

You are doing a great job.
Thank you for sharing your (and Helena's) life.
I was diagnosed with the disease in 1999 so since then my life has been very sick, a lot of time has been spent in bed and at times it has felt like life was going down a drain.

BP: You've probably seen me 999 times, so if I'd been in the neighbourhood you'd have laughed. There was a lot of wine and every other person was a bit daft, haha. We will go together on Sunday. I went to your link in the middle of all the writing before I was going to write to you. Then I went to delete the link and got the whole page so everything disappeared, that's how it goes. We will post about the fair on Monday.
Steel city anna: Hello Anna! Energy comes from my curiosity about everything in life. The phrase "I can't do it" doesn't exist in my life and I've used it with my sons, and they thought I was a pain in the arse, haha. I hope the fuse change was not too expensive for you. You may well call me next time for guidance on what the fault may be. Hugs and nice weekend.
Marina: Hi there:-). I do not think when there is something to do but it goes on pure reflex. If you don't work, nothing gets done and I think it's fun to create and live. I want to do so much more but will I have time? Have a nice weekend Marina and now the sun is shining and that is a great source for me.
Hi Ruth in Virginia! It is really nice and fun to get to know you online and how lucky that it is 2016. I too have a great love for people and I have been a little too naive at times. I believe in others, but you do fall on your face from time to time. 95% of all people are good and want to do the right thing, but you can't bury yourself because you are being used by someone who is an idiot along the way. You get angry for a while but then the usual words come up in my head "what do I do now". If I get stuck, they take positive energy away from me, but I want it for myself to live my life in joy. Now we are getting ready to go on a Saturday cruise because my mum is turning 80. We three sons with our children will surprise her today. Take care of yourself and what a great friend you are online. Peter
Åsa in Åsele: I hope you know what you wrote? If I'm going to be around for another 50 years, so are you:-) I'm so badly forced because I'm 56 and Helena is 41 so I have no choice, haha. You do not have an easy life so we have to thank development for the existence of computers. I am your friend on the net and I hope you have a lot of them around you. I send you a Saturday hug, NOT, a weekly hug it will be and take care of you.

Life has its ups and downs. You have had a lot of sideways curves too. Wonderful that you met Helena and you have experienced a lot together. Must also write that you tell your life in a very good way! Have a good time!

Elisabeth: Thank you so much for your kind words. I know slalom, haha, because that's probably how my life has been. I'm on the track now but I'm working just as hard but in joy and that's the big difference. Thank you for writing and have a great week.

What impresses me most in your stories is: How on earth do you remember everything...like how much money and how much profits??::) and everything else you tell me about....I don't remember anything it seems...compared to you;-) Great fun to read anyway... Feels like you are perfect for each other. Hugs to you both
