The reason for obsessing about the weather is that I have been deserted by my mother and nephew. Nephew is off to Australia tomorrow, if it were possible for me to transport myself ala stargate or star trek I would definitely be tempted to leave the darkness of the north for some summer sun. However, the long long long plane trip is something that I have come to dread - so when I will ever go there again is anyones guess.
Ma on the other hand has left me for the city lights of Reykjavik followed by a few days in Heidelberg with her womens group (kvenfélag). This trip will no doubt be a shopping orgy!
I took this photo of mums the other day just after we had some snow... Now that mum and Maggi have gone I will no doubt be buying pizza and hamburgers from the blue house on the left - their delivery car is on the right of the photo.
Enough rambling....
time to start the christmas letters...

Mmmm, their takeaway is so good! I would definitely eat there every day if I was on my own over there. As opposed to on my own over here. Last night I had strawberries for dinner. And a few corn chips. But I did have a feast at the movies for lunch so I figured I didn't need an evening meal. Plus I'm really lazy about cooking on my own.
I don't think you'd like the sun so much here. It's 35 degrees today and already warm. Pretty soon I'll have to turn the airconditioner on.
The plane trip to Australia isn't so bad. And the way Anna did it sounded good, too. Fly to Copenhagen, then direct to Perth. And if you were to buy a business class ticket for the Copenhagen Perth leg, you'd be laughing!
xoxoxox miss you
Thanks sweety - maybe one day - now that the libs are out the place is starting to seem better, but then I think - it will have to wait until the dog is dead - I couldn´t leave her for such a long time...
