Corrie - Ministry of silly walks?
In the street scene at the start of Corrie tonight was it just me or did anyone else notice that Gail was bobbing up & down as though she'd lost the heel from one of her shoes? or maybe she was walking with one foot in the gutter like you did when you were little? It just looked so funny to me.
And why does Deirdre always stride out around their tiny house with her arms swinging as though she's on a brisk 5 mile hike?
No insults from soap haters please...I know I should get out more :o)

Possums! ...so... the meeting with La Neti and her husband... It was lovely! It felt slightly unreal that we were actually going to meet up but once we did I for one felt we had known each other forever and I really enjoyed our afternoon together. Unfortunately, their first day in Stockholm was also our first autumn day, but Wednesday was a little bit better than Tuesday had been. Neti hadn't brought any sensible clothes (show of hands, how many of you are surprised) and consequently had had to do some clothes shopping, who could blame her.
We spent a couple of hours nursing a coffee in the cocktail lounge of a restaurant I think Neti may want to tell you about herself. Mr N would get a vacant look in his eyes every now and again as Neti and I went on and on and on about the history of the AB, but whenever I had the ambition to tell them something about Stockholm he was quick enough to fill in the gaps when I couldn't find the right English words � he already knew all the facts! He had been paying great attention during the sightseeing tours, you see, whereas Neti hadn't been listening at all (show of hands, how ma- ...okay, just asking! No need to bite my head off, Neti!)
When something got them excited Neti and Mr N spoke almost in chorus in the sweetest way and they just generally struck me as a couple who were truly enjoying each other's company, safe and secure but very "unbored".

Neti had brought me a nice kitchen towel/small table-cloth with an amusing, artsy-craftsy map of Ibiza, including their little village. Myself, I had decided that our afternoon in August was in fact a cold December day (knowing how much Neti longs for the Nordic winter), so I had brought her a couple of Christmas pressies. One of our Christmas traditions is to write clever little rhymes for every present, as a clue, and force the recipient to guess what it is, squeezing it, shaking it, or whatever it is that they have to do to guess. Ideally, the recipient should fail, but when they see what the present is and re-read the verse they should feel that they should have been able to guess. I'll show you what I mean; this was the first verse, for a small, wrapped bag with round thingies in it:
When hell freezes over Neti will go
Meanwhile DaSwede gonna deal her da snow
That was for fudge rolled into balls and covered in white glaze to make them look like snowballs. Couldn't believe my luck when I found those in a tourist-minded shop in Old Town, thought of Neti immediately of course! (But who could possibly have guessed that such candy even existed, I know I couldn't.)
For the second pressie I had printed out in colour the picture jno posted here a couple of days ago, of "Kit" and "Neti" in straightjackets. (Giving you the credit for that, of course, jno.) The accompanying rhyme was:
Straightjacket Kit is my name and I knit'em
But:
I go mad halfway through
And I quit'em
/...these are as far as I got on your straightjacket...
That one was even more impossible to guess, as I had cheated a bit and used a box that didn't really allow you to feel the softness of the contents, he he. (I wasn't thinking.)

They were wrist-warmers I had knitted myself from the lovely alpaca wool I'm so addicted to. Don't know when Neti will ever find the use for them but I thought it might be nice for her to at least be able to make believe that it's cold outside.
Neti asked me to send you her love and to tell you all that she is younger. Full stop. I had to ask her younger than what, exactly, and she replied in netistyle: Younger than they think that I am! she is, you know
Their previous stop had been Copenhagen and they're now going on to Estonia (oh they're there now), Finland and Russia.
Phew! Da-da-dat's it, folks! Come back next year, Neti! I'm not scared! Not much!
lol at Robinia's impostor meeting - I thought you'd already done the maths on your abacus one time before! Yes I suspect I may be the youngest but youngest doesn't mean young and I also suspect you yourself Robi are not far behind me - based on some musical clue I've forgotten the details of - number one on the charts the year you were born, was it. I do feel like a biddy... health ain't great... and that is a flattering picture - it doesn't show my teeth, it doesn't show my multiple chins, it doesn't show my "hamster pouches", it doesn't show my serious... erm... portly...ness... iow it doesn't look like me and so I love that piccy, how sad is that.
That kitten was so lovely. Trusting, relaxed and interested. Don't know how I managed not to finish the job and eat her completely, he he.
Must go, bye now!
This really is The End! No it is!
