The snowstorm Pia passed by yesterday evening and all night long. I had borrowed my neighbors car and if there’s one thing one doesn’t want to do is to wreck their car because one was driving careless š š š So even though I went home half an hour earlier I still came home a few minutes later than I normally would have done š š


The car dealer and I had agreed to meet around 1pm and I was going to get there by bus. The bus would leave my bus station at 12:05 and on a sunny and nice day in spring or summer it takes around 45 minutes to walk there,so since the world now once again is filled with that white crap (and the fact that it rained a lot before the snow fell and it went cold) I decided to start early, I’m so glad I have studded boots because the snow didn’t stick well to the ice covered road. Today it took almost exactly one hour.

I think I would have thought the world was beautiful if I hadn’t had to walk in this mess š š I only brought my phone so only a few photos today. The wind was still blowing pretty hard and it was bitterly cold. Well walking and wearing really good winter clothes did help but standing and waiting for the bus still made me pretty cold inside.

I managed to get there in time and went to the grocery store on my way home. They usually like when I tell them about my car problems š š So we had a good laugh before I finally drove home again. I haven’t had much sleep to be honest but I think the short nap I had in my recliner will help me to stay awake until at least 9 pm š š

Only one previous owner and it has a new cam belt, that was the thing that made me want to have it without even seeing it in a photo š š It has six gears, something I need to get used to. The only things I really made sure to know about before I drove home was to know how to open the fuel filler flap, something I didn’t understand with the borrowed car, I had to phone them to know how š how to handle the different lights and how to control the heat in the car, it took me over a day before I understood it in the borrowed car š š š Cruise control and how to manage to radio can be learned later š š š

Winter vacation started today so no more work until January 8 š
Have a great day!

The car looks happy to be home and Alma looks pleased to welcome it. 6 gears. Hmm. It took me a bit to get used to 5. I’m not sure what I’d do with 6.š
YAY for vacation!
It’s cold but sunny here.

Hi Caryn!
Lets hope so, one never knows with cars š š
Alma is always happy as long as we’re not out on walks it seems š š
Yes it will take some time to get used to that sixth one š I guess it saves a lot of petrol but will I remember that I have that extra one š š
Cold and sunny here as well today, can’t feel any warmth from the sun though.
Have a great day!
