Green means go

For those of you not initiated into the European style of lights and signals, this is a traffic light for bicycles.  In most intersections, the bicycle signal and the pedestrian signals are for the same area, though in separate lanes and sometimes working independently.  You activate each by pushing a button and besides the visual information, there is also an audible prompt to go -- the beeping goes though a fast stage (about 3 per second) compared to the usual beep of about 1 per second which means 'wait'.

And go I did today.  This morning it was into town to the market area to be tempted by wonderful sourdough breads, blue cheese, a new creme fraiche topping, and hot smoked salmon.  There was the usual trip to Ahlens for socks (it's tradition) and a check of Clas Olson for canning jars.  Jennie has been making all kinds of preserves and needed some small jars for red pepper jelly.  No luck.

We enjoyed another lunch at the nursery just behind the house and then I cycled most of the afternoon, to and from some grocery stores where I was stocking up on some Swedish items to fill my suitcase.  I have about 4 kg of stuff to replace from my weight coming over, so there is lots of space.

I wasn't the only one on the go -- little miss loves to stand and there will be no stopping her. Already she has a determined low-voice grunt where she tenses her whole body.  What a strong little one she already is!  Watch out world, she is going places!
