TODAY I...

TODAY I... am joining in with a Thrifty Mrs


TODAY I... was driven into the 'City'...1 hours drive away.
 Bollnas by Swedish standards is a 'City' of 25,000 + residents. To me and my English family and friends it's a town...
A town with a little t.

 Bollnas is twinned with the English town Sheppton Mallett




TODAY I ... had our poor car repaired.

 Our VOLVO 740 has been worked like a pack horse.
Carting all our wordly possesions from UK to Sweden
NOT once, twice, three times, but FOUR times!!
All in the space of less than 2 years.

 Extreme cold temperatures
 combined with pot holed forest tracks have not helped either.
 Resulting in it's rear suspension...giving up on us!
Some 2 hours and 4,000 SEK later we are now
 BOUNCING around town like T-I-G-G-E-R!

TODAY I... as we walked through town I photographed
 with my i-phone some graffitti, a statue, and a church 


TODAY I...walked 12 kilometres in the snow with the one I love.

TODAY I ...registered for places to rent in town...

TODAY I...kept away from the 'Loppis' shops, but if I had had more time I wouldn't have!


WILL YOU JOIN IN TOO?

    It looks so cold. I don't know how you survive it. Any wonder the poor Volvo needs some TLC! I hope you at least had something nice and hot to drink while you were out and about! BRRR!
