9:00 A-S bright and chirpy phones and wakes me up. Talks about how embroidery has changed her life. She’s joined a group lead by a wonderful old crone who seems to organize , inspire, motivate and mentor all in one go.

The idea sounds good. Their theme is “ The Sun” and they are all embroidering cushion covers. Each one chooses their own fabric and colour and starts sewing. After a time they change and pass it on to someone else and this has given rise to all manner of feelings and thoughts.

Anyway , it’s now 11 am , I ‘ve showered dressed and had my breakfast . The sun is shining brightly and the roof tops are white with a thin layer of snow.

I’m told that the pollen season has started already.

I'm off into the Old Town , Gamla Stan, to see a Vernissage .

Laundry done Involved several trips down into the bowels of the earth , this time . Only one machine working

Had some delicious pasta and red wine afterwards as a reward and crusty homemade bread dipped in extra virgin olive oil as a starter Sounds weird but absolutely delish especially since I don't eat bread that often.

I've now imported a whole load of pics into my mac so I'll be able to show mum when I go over at the end of this month.

Got a text message to say that the David Richo book I ordered has arrived and ready to be picked up at the shop. Will be reading this weekend

Ok back to vino and films

TTFN hope you are all enjoying your Friday evening
