Car and Weather

First of all...Sorry, Karen (Water Learner), my strawberry bread came out weird. As usual, the taste is GOOD, but the form isn't he he he...so you have to wait until next time. I don't want to take a pic of it here (too embarrassed) hi hi hi...

Speaking of weather, Saturday morning when we were about to leave to my in-laws', there was a thin layer of ice all over our car's windshield. At first I thought it was morning dew, but hubby had to scrape it with a kind of tool so that we could see ahead.

He said that it was 'coz the temperature had been below zero during the night.
When I woke up, it was only 0'C but then the day turned out sunny, so the temperature rose to 8'C. In the evening, it went down again to 4'C. I'm writing this down so that I can compare it with next year's weather he he he...

Speaking of car inspection, turned out our car didn't pass the inspection. And since it's already old, we were thinking of buying a newer one on installments (a used one, of course, not a brand new one). Coincidentally, hubby's eldest brother wants to sell his car and it's within our price range. So we're applying for a loan from the bank. The good thing about this is that we're going to visit them in Pori (southern Finland) to get the car. YIIIPPPIIIEEE!!! It'll be my first time to Pori!!!!!!!!! (I've only been to Helsinki and Kemi)


Since it's a long drive (about 12-hour per trip), we'll probably spend a night at their place. I'd LOVE to see their house (I've only seen pictures of it) he he he...


Okay, enough about this. Here are some pics I took yesterday. ;-D

First pic: my mother-in-law's orange tree. Yes, she puts it inside the living room he he he...



Second pic: a close-up look of the oranges. I haven't tried them yet, but they look yummy. ;-D



Here's a pic of leafless trees. Lots of trees have gone bare these days. ;-D What I find interesting about this type of tree is that the berries stay there even after the leaves are gone he he he...By the way, you can't eat those berries, though.



Here's a close-up look of the bare branches and the berries.



And this is a pic of Saturday's twilight. ;-D
