Goodafternoon Blogland ... and it has been a beautiful sunny day- Very spring-like . There's spring in my step today.

Neighbour Elizabeth stopped by around lunchtime to ask if I could help smudge their new flat when they moved in.They move into Astrid's flat while I am away. I get out of carrying boxes up and´down the stairs. Thank you Universe

13:00 I've got a new extrajob . Han's idea for me to help his daughter- in- law study for her driving test.WOT ? Says I ? " You know that I don't drive, don't you Hans "

*hearty laughter *

The theory is in Swedish too. BUT .. blind leading the blind works sometimes.Anything for an old friend. There's usually some reason behind H's schemes.

A. arrived , we had a nice chat over a cup of tea and decided that she would come again tomrrow and Wednesday.She found our session helpful and I think we both learned something. I know one thing for sure - I will never learn to drive in Sweden OR take that test. The theory part is very difficult. Not only do you need to know the highway code, signs and all that but you also need to know parts of the car , the engine and how it works, maintenance and a lot of technical stuff. The multiple choice questions in the workbook are very tricky I tell you ... this was quite an experience for me.

In other news - the washing machine has been repaired so I've booked a laundry time.

AND ....

My new cooker arrives on Wednesday between 11:00 and 12:30 !
*makes note to buy new rubber gloves and sillitbang * needed to shift the grease and gundge behind the cooker ...

TTFN

This sort of thing really gets my goat.

I tried to copy and paste the code for this meme once already... no joy ..

Truth is , I don't like Cilantro / Coriander very much
I want to be Basil !!

First persimmon.
Bought 3 the other day and just had one now.
What a delight !

The taste reminds me of something between mango and a ripe fig , but the texture is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

I always thought they looked like tomatoes.

It's no use , I'm going to have another one This fruit is wicked - it leaves you wanting more

Night night
