Hur känns det...att åka ut i en kvarts?

locked...



I'm glad I was able to move my car yesterday. One person did not, and the result is this. A bit embarrassing standing there in the middle, after they cleared the streets from snow.
I'm sure the guys who made this, had a lot fun.

a good day






I have been shoveling out my car .... with help from a nice young man! I have also received a drawing from my sponsor child, and a picture of a smiling little girl. What is it that makes these children, who have nothing, able to give us these happy smiles. And here where we have everything, often ''sour looks'' .....
She made my day.

Slovakia meets Sweden in the quarterfinals at 6am on Thursday morning, Swedish time.
So another early morning, for me.
