So I came home yesterday , baring groceries that included a big bag of natural goodness crisps :) ahem ... poured myself a G&T and plonked myself in front of the TV with a big bowl of afore mentioned crisps and proceeded to enjoy. It happened to be a film about the Apollo 8 moon voyage in 1968 ( !!! ) My activities tend to be loony :))

Anway, it was not long before I heard lively chatter coming from one of our shared balconies outside. I open the window... lean out and wave. They wave back. Mira .. come and join us ! Righty-o -- no sooner said than done .. mira grabs glass and heads for balcony and is introduced to Kjell, Robert and Whilhelm who friends of Rikard and Zacharias, my neighbours, who make full use of the shared balconies, especially when it is sunny.

*cheers* says I as I am offered a seat .... we all squeeze up , Zacharias on the steps.

It's a lovely evening. Almost cloudless. We chatter away , I am offered rosé wine when my glass becomes empty , and also introduced to R &Z 4 budgies and of course I have to then show off Mr TheFish , who has been in my care for a week now. ( The three visitors on tiny balcony  )


By 9:30 it is starting to get chilly , so the lads decide to move indoors and Finish lady from my floor appears and we are introduced. I am invited to join them , but by this time I've had enough of socialising , I need my dinner and a soak in the bath and a chat with the Lady Moon whom I can see from my south facing bedroom window. She starts off orange and turns into silver and seems to be doing the dance of the seven veils with a few passing clouds. Very soon after that I drift off into dreamland .. peace zzzzzzz
