    Good evening all!

    Hugs, LIR I hope you feel better soon, you know we are all here for you no matter what. Hug a doggie and a kittie for me!

    Brave DD, whitewing!

    I hope your week gets better heartbreak_star, you are always welcome here!

    I had an unexpected 5 minute phone call! MIL phoned and asked to quickly talk to me so that she could thank me for visiting. She said it was her best present, I am always welcome and she woke up thinking about me and WaSp. She had a little cry because she was happy, how incredibly sweet she is.

    Oh, and BIL told her that pumpkin pie is bad for her and she shouldn't eat it. So she waited until he went shopping and had another slice and is determined to finish it. Yes, she does have problems with digesting lots of vegetables but the odd slice of it won't hurt her and it is the first time in 94 years that she has ever tried it. BIL is such a killjoy and MIL loves the pie.

    Did you know that there's Moomin World in Finland? :)

  • Hahahahahaha! I want to go to Lego World, too. A bit closer to home. Apparently if you go very early in the morning during school time it is almost empty. It is something I am contemplating for next year.

    As moomins were a hit and she ( or her parents) are hard to buy for I'm thinking of another Scandinavian favourite character book for Christmas gift. We send a box of European stuff at Christmas anyway too, that's expensive or hard to get where they are. I'd love to send beautiful clothes too, but they don't go down well. Different tastes.
