making cakes on the evening before my "going-away slash birthday party"

That's where my "Going Away / Birthday" party is taking place this sunny Saturday afternoon!

Hats on...
...for sitting around the fire!
Jeff is the whistle blower
caught in the middle
Marion & Phil - more whiskey to stay warm....and fuzzy
Another mission - create pop quiz questions for everyone to try!
Some might be tricky....
...and some are.... Anyway, here's all of them:
What about pot?
best coast it is
March was a very wet month
where there are thousands of islands to sail amongst
not too big, not too small....just "lagom"
Mars is a busy place these days
Bartending would be fun....farming is probably where I have the mopst years of experience...so I'll probablhy stick to engineering! :-)
May very well be confused - but that's a Swedish thing too h:-)
And the winners are....Freddy and Rose!! (who also adopted my shredder, thanks!)
First price is a sailing trip on the Swedish west coast.
To claim, simply come visit me in Sweden - during summer :-)
We're ending it on the couch...over a good cup of tea.
