Soul sister , Gunilla rang and invited me over for dinner.I love these spontaneous invites and it was great to leave mess and clutter behind. My home is chaos for about a week as I unpack after being away.

It was lovely sharing holiday experiences. Gunilla had spent three weeks travelling around visiting friends in Gotland and the south of Sweden and was looking great- brown as a berry.

Baked salmon for dinner , with peppers stuffed with chevre and a lush green salad with avocado and cherry tomatoes. Yum . Icecream and fresh raspberries for dessert laced with Gran Marnier......oh la la .... absolutely divine !

G. tried to download pics from her mobile phone into her MacLappy , but neither of us could work out how to do it. :( I don't have a camera in my phone and the technology remains a mystery to me. G's MacLappy is also bigger, sleaker and more sophisticated than mine . With mine I just connect the camera to the computer, and it does the rest - easy peasy - the rest is just a matter of clicking.

The Gran Marnier really hit me as I meandered to the bus stop. Had to wait 15 minutes , but it was lovely wait. A mild evening, gentle warm breeze. As i dragged myself up the hill to my home , the lady moon shone down on me in all her glory and once again , I was home on the stroke of midnight :)
