As you seem to like them so much…

“They ain’t here!”

“Come on, son. Where’s your grammar?”

“My gramma ain’t here neither. She’s gone to church!”

    As you know my English gramma isn’t the best .. neither. *smile – In Sweden we have have a word, LAGOM – that no other country has … and it means, just right. When translating to English – they want to use Moderate, but that isn’t right.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
