Yesterday I registered for a personal number here. A personal number is like a PRSI number. Here, you need a personal number unlike at home where it is only needed for when you have to pay tax. To set up a bank account I need a personal number and just a personal number, no bill as proof of address or ID, just a personal number. To get a phone I need a personal number. To get broadband I need a personal number. To register for a Swedish course, personal number. I have to transfer my dole across, and have to register with a place that's like FAS and I need a personal number for that.
I have to wait one to two weeks for my personal number.

Gatwick
So I have in the last two and I half weeks I have driven to Sweden, unpacked my stuff, did some fishing, walked around the city I'm going to be living in and then drove home. I have had four days at home to a) relax after the driving session and b) see who ever was about. All in all good weekend.
At the moment I'm in gatwick airport getting lunch. I have to wait till 16.45 till the gate opens for my flight. As soon as I get Internet in Sweden I'll post some pics of the travel and previous events that have been documented but not published.
Later Ireland.

Breakfast
Just after finishing breakfast. I'm in this hotel in holland. It's part of the Valk group. We stop in another Valk group hotel but they were full so they got us a room here. Nice of them.
We have 7hours and 45minutes drive in front of us. It'll be good to drive in daylight. Wales was really pretty for the hour and a half daylight we got to see. Night driving sucks. It also doesn't help that the gps seems to be set to senic route and avoid motorways. Hopefully today that's resolved. So today it's drive past towards Bremen and go past it to Hamburg and turn left. Then nearly to the top of Denmark and go right to Copenhagen. Keep going through Copenhagen and cross the bridge into Malmö.

I'm on a boat
At this very moment I'm on a boat in the Irish Sea making my way to Holyhead. I started packing for this trip last night at 1am. Probably should have done it earlier but since I was busy building a building for CaseyLaurapoLena or Duffypalozza '09 as it has been renamed, 1am was the best time to start.
On Saturday when I was driving to Ikea to get a sink for the building it kinda hit me for the first time that I was leaving Ireland. I'm going to miss so many people and so many things so much. The last few years have been some of the best times of my life. To be part of the Bay Community has been amazing. I have had the great pleasure of getting to know some great people. The bands that i have played in have all been key in my life to some amazing memories and experiences.
Hopefully everything that I have lived through so far will have prepared me for what's to come. It will definitly be strange to live in Sweden at first with little or no Swedish, but I'll get through that I hope. I'm really excited for what I'm doing. Firstly I'm can not wait to do this drive. It should be class! Then hanging out in Malmö and heading up Falkenberg for the weekend, maybe fish or pretend to hunt! If anyone knows of any jobs in Malmö, hook me up!
I'm back in Ireland on the 28th and on the 1st of September I fly to Sweden. Many people I know will be at Iperfest those days. I will try to see as many people as I can while I'm home.
My boat internet is about to run out.
Later.

Roofing
Some peolpe might know that I'm building a building. If you didn't, I'm building a building. In twelve days I drive to Sweden. If you didn't know, I'm moving there for as long as I can. I'm going to miss Ireland.
