I had it the other day.. every time I get the feeling of knowing where I was standing when I last held it in my hand, it slips away. It must be the cotton woll, still present.
This is what I need! The cold has subsided a bit and I am at least out of the "better stay in bed" zone, which annoys me a little since O is now home again. Regarding my school gate angst, I have now been approached by 3 mums and I no longer consider myself the newcomer.
Ok, so the first one was selling Red Poppies, maybe not the most genuine of friendly approaches, but still *I am not too picky!*. Second was a really nice French mum with a son in Cs class. *make note to talk more with as really nice and potentially someone really friendly to hang out with by the gate*.
With Poppy Lady breaking the ice, a 3rd mum approached me yesterday. Her son had come home from school and told her, they had a new boy from ..
Russia!! in his class. I am now curiously wondering if the parents smiling at me yesterday when we were a bit of a hurry in the morning *again, J has the habit of making use of her nappy just as we take our coats on to leave in the morning..*. Anyway, I am just wondering what they were thinking, as I was jogging around the school *we have to park on the opposite side of Cs classroom* on high heels (there is a hole in my very comfy mules and the only other pair I have are a pale pink pair of Crocs..) with J shouting in the buggy "nej mamma (no mummy) too bumby!!" and C panting heavily at my side *not to mention the look of me, jogging with my "hockey frilla", which I, due to this cold, still has not sorted out.
I guess I will have to be extra representative tomorrow at the school's Christmas Fair and I am going for a hunt of not only my little compact camera, but also my hair straightener before then.

And I am known as the crazy swedish woman with the funny accent. I always get comments like; - at least you're not freezing since you must be used to the cold. Or - I heard it's snowing in Oslo(?).
Mmm, my boss treated us with lunch at Garbo's - a genuinly swedish restaurant - with a giant moose head on the wall, off-white walls, metabolic, orange wooden horses and scandinavian looking personnel. They served a swedish beer called Spendrups and swedish snaps called Aalborg Jubileum. Special dish for Today was Sheppherd's pie. So perhaps I shouldn't be surprised when my colleage from 4 years asked me if this is what it looks like in Switzerland.

*giggles* and you're not afraid of polar bears! ;)
O: I don't understand WHY we didn't go there?
well I wouldn't considering going back for the glorious swedish food. :-).
Another quote from a colleague, interrupting the waitress's attempt to explain the menu:
"Look, I'll have anything as long as it's cooked."
