a friend of mine, her two daughters and their big little dog just left.

it's been a nice day, with talking, chasing cats, running around in the wet grass, finding a plastic bag with old dolls that my mother had saved and brought here a month ago, lunch (flygande jakob, which according to the biggest little girl was horrible. apparently you don't give children food with bananas in..., didn't know that), a walk, a visit to a playground i've never tried before (it was really nice, and there were no kids (except for the ones we had with us). i prefer playgrounds without kids. the swings were too low, though, which is a big fault in a playground), dinner at a restaurant in town (i had pizza, the others had hamburgers. dinner with very small children in "fancy" restaurants turned out to be great fun! the smallest little girl turned her face into something that looked like a pizza, and the biggest little girl managed to turn the floor into something that looked like a buffe), dessert at home (we didn't get that one right either... apparently you don't give cake with carrots in to little girls (or at least you don't tell them there are carrots in it). even though we had been eating more or less all day the girls looked really relieved when they finally got into the car and could get their biscuits out to chew on:).

it's been over a year since i last saw them, even though they live only about 110 km away... but we promised (again) that we would see each other more often.  ¶ 8:41 PM
