Min yngsta har börjat förskoleklass och just lärt sig att läsa. Ikväll ljudade hon B-A-J-S-K-O-R-V när hon tyckte att jag var tråkig.

I should make the move to R, but when to find the time? Sounds like a perfect course for me.

Få förstår hur utmattande det är att ringa runt till diverse företag och säga ”xx är död”, kan ni sluta skicka fakturor, när man själv knappt fattat att xx är död.

Självbilden är att jag röstar på samma, men sen på valdagen står jag där och bara kan inte. Så det blir olika, dock alltid på samma sida.
