Would you ever feel at home here?


I found this picture when looking for non-table alternatives for our living room, lounge area. I'm after something soft to put my feet on rather than what we have today, a table we rarely use for anything other than putting our feet on.
I felt so smart and innovative thinking up this idea, but will have to realise I'm not first with this one...

Looking through the photos for this property for sale - would you ever feel at home here?

Bugaboo


I managed to stick T's bike onto the Bugaboo when I walked to kindergarden this afternoon, he was very excited to get a chance to cycle home and D was quite content lounging away inside the rain-protected pram.
This look is perhaps not quite what they imagined when they designed this (our favorite) pram?
Awfully handy none the less. :-)

Now you good design-people out there, please run ahead and design a bicycle carrier addition to Bugaboo Cameleon. ;-)

Vacation


The only problem with a really really good vacation is that it will come back to haunt you.
I once went here, how can I ever top that?

It doesn't come back quite as often nowadays but hey when it does... blech. Need to focus on something else now! X-)

Weird smile

This is so far the weirdest smiley I've seen:


C=

It certainly looks happy but how on earth do you come up with that one? :-D

Sockerbit NY - sweet & Swedish


A candy shop selling Swedish sweets will open in Manhattan this weekend. Hah! We might have to, just might have to take a detour past this place too while we're there? :-)
If not I'll just have to settle for a fresh non-exported supply of my favourite Jelly Belly's. :-D

Sockerbit doesn't seem to have spent so much time on their own webpage yet, but I found a few links with references to it:
Resespanarna - Sockerbit (Swedish site)
A Swede in New York (Swedish blog)
DN.se Sockerbit-laddar-för-Goda-affärer (Swedish newspaper article)
Plockgodis i New York (Swedish blog)

And naturally Sockerbit's own FaceBook page - Sockerbit sweet & swedish

Bad combination

Woollen jumper with an oversized collar + WoW incident leading to character's death + large cup of tea = dead character + soaking wet (hot) collar + fast exit from chair + laundry.

I leaned forward in excitement and thoroughly soaked the collar of the knitted jumper. Great. Didn't discover it until I sat up and felt a very warm/wet sensation from the area of where the collar was...
Fortunately the jumper is brown and I hadn't poured any milk into my tea yet.

Ding 75!


Glömsk and I celebrate by flying to the nearest capital and do some training.
It is no longer necessary to portal all the way back to the now completely changed old orchish capital Orgrimmar. A lot of interesting new things are going on over there so I'm tempted to roll a new character to have a taste. But the expansion is due next week (three days) so I suppose I can wait for then when the new races will be available. On the other hand, mother in law is visiting then so it'll have to wait, after Christmas is a more likely time to upgrade and go exploring. :-D
