The sea is for fish to swim in

Nevertheless, our good friend D had an unwanted swim in the oh so salty sea at Ursholmen, - an ilsand off the Swedish town Strömstad.
He was not hurt, apart from his pride, - and yes, - he then had to buy a new mobile phone. Poor guy!
His wife said afterwards that the fall into the sea must have been intentional as he has been wanting a new phone for quite a while.
Hubby J spent most of the weekend teaching D how to use the new gadget.
New toys for guys nearly 70 is no laughing matter. Why do I laugh then? Maybe I am envious? No, I do not want a now mobile phone, - maybe just a camera?

Come to Théoule - just for the fun of it

While drama is the natural environment to Théoule, as seen recently with our forest fires close by - it is not at all neccessary for us to spice up our daily life. We normally live a quiet life, - but in close contact to nature - in its different forms.

I like to hike, - and have lots of fun doing my different exercises up in the hills.


We always have fun watching the car park - but even more so watching all the yachts. occasionally there are less luxurious vessels on our shores - virtually
.

Angels and princesses, and a weird world

The Norwegian princess Märtha has once more tried to find a living, - and that is as it should be, we do not want her and her family to be destitue do we? However, - she has set up a "school", - and appearently some of her major partners are angels.

What can I say? Good luck? Unfortunately the reference is in Norwegian only - too bad, you have really missed something!
There was a Swedish film called "Änglar, finns dom" (Angles, are they real) - well, much more real than what is in the head of the poor princess M., an otherwise very nice young woman.

Found myself back on the tracks

After a night of worry and little sleep, and a good day at work not thinking about my litte blog problem at home, I managed last night between glass number one and two (white wine), to find my way back on the published side of the blogger world.

It is really ridiculus I should have become so touched by something so totally insignificant.

Now that the grandchildren are here, I guess there will be less posting than before, - but lots of fun making dolls' dresses, drawing cars, picking strawberries and reading stories.

Was this all?

This is what my aunt said at the age of 80-some years, minutes before she died. She had had Alzheimers for year, she was institutionalized, - and dying was really just a very much longed-for end.

Now I am faced with losing my Norwegian-language blog, - and I suffer. I really do. I have been very stupid, trying experiment, trying to put the blog on a private domain - and it is just gone!

All of a suddenn I remember the words of my very dear aunt, - "Was this all".
W know it is not possible to resurrect, - but maybe it is possible to find a lost blog?

The lost blog was tonitasblablablablogspot.com - http://www.blogger.com/layout?blogID=31040404. - but now of course placed otherplace - if anyone is willing to help.

Yeah! C is coming

Who would have thought the very busy lady would have time, or take time off, to come to dinner tomorrow? OK, - so I will not be cooking the dinner myself tomorrow, we will go out, - I will only serve the champagne, - unlike last night when I made and served an impromptu dinner for six, on a 10 minutes warning! Cold beet root soup (already in the fridge), - with nice garnishings of tow different onions and green peppers, - then a salad with scallops cooked in garlic, echalottes, tomatoes and lots of parsley, - and of course good olive oil from Senor Notte. Grazie Sr. Notte!
