Sitting in the community café having a cup of coffee. Just delivered my car to the body shop. Stopped at the café to break up the long walk to the other side of town.

As soon as I connected to the café WiFi I got two strange messages. The first said that two payments had failed because of a lack of funds. I thought this must be a scam because it was in English but it turns out that the banking app has switched to English, no idea why. But even stranger is that I have over 20 kNOK in the account, over twenty times the failed payments. Weird.

The second message was from Instagram saying my account has been suspended. As usual they don't explain why even if you click the button asking for further explanation.

This will probably be my last day in a skirt until at least next Tuesday, the receptionist at the body shop said that the expected finish time is 'early next week '. :-(

Time to go. But here's the lipstick trail

Today's outfit is a tartan skirt, soft fluffy jumper, dark blue tights, black ankle boots. And on top of that a coat that my wife made for herself about forty years ago from a pattern in a German sewing magazine. I wish I had even half the patience for such things.

@elafina But you are always busy! I sometimes wonder how you have time to look at SW. So where in the world are you now, I've lost track?

Seen on my walk this morning:

The sign on the bottom of the door is amusing at first

It says: Dessverre vi har ikke Happy Ending. Hvis du ønsker Happy Ending spore moren din.

In English: Unfortunately we do not have Happy Ending. If you want a Happy Ending ask your mother.

It's a Thai massage parlour and they are often asked for happy endings much to the disgust and distress of the masseuse.

Sitting in La Baguette waiting for my baguette to be assembled. Doesn't seem very efficient but I'm in no hurry. I need time to rest after my walk, 20 000 steps so far today.

Hope you have a car by then
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@turbineman40 Me too. I've just found a new reason for coming out. Having to change after leaving home and before returning is only a minor annoyance when I'm driving but when using public transport it means finding a private place to change in and that is a major annoyance and inconvenience.

@ninalanyon I have changed in my truck or standing outside the open door
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@turbineman40 That's what I do. Not practical when travelling by bus!

Also seen on the walk, a huge mural

Baguettes are baked, not “assembled.”

@ninalanyon Then what do you call it when a baguette is sliced and filled.

Six of one thing or a half dozen of another?
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@RedBaron The baguette isn't sliced, it's sliced open; not quite the same thing. The definitions of words differ from place to place.

A filled baguette is just a filled baguette.
RedBaron · M
@ninalanyon As I said, six of one thing or a half dozen of another. 🤷‍♂️
