My day in an alliterative nutshell …

The kids didn’t have school today (it seems they go only about half the time these last several weeks — I’ve stopped asking the reasons), but I was up early anyway to go pick Helena up at the airport.  She’s back in Sweden for a few weeks and is camped out here for most of her stay.

After spending a couple of hours catching up and hanging around, Olof and I enlisted her services as a babysitter and made a quick trip to town, where, among other things, we bought a couple of pillows for the guest bed.  Back home, I made a pizza for dinner.  It was an unappetizing, Olof-style pizza, so I didn’t have any, but there was no chance I’d go hungry since I’d made a delectable pineapple pie earlier in the day.  Who needs dinner when there’s dessert in the offing?
