Groceries and some appliques to use in mending the PR's jeans.  (Think butterflies on her butt.)

I just, p/m 10 minutes ago, ordered two books written by Stephen Fry. Haven't read any book by him (till now) but I doubt I'll be disappointed with this 'online' order. Dude's okay (in my book).

Hope the paperbacks will arrive coming Friday.

He's quite good. I enjoy his books.

Think I will do, also.

And, yesterday I bought myself a hoe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoe_%28tool%29).. and two frying pans.

Heb je een hak gekocht, of een schoffel?

[lutra]

Een hak.. want ja, ik vind een hak een stukkie prettiger werken om onkruid te wieden. Werkend met een schoffel (hé, da's een moai neerlands woord, nie ) maak je, mijns inziens, te veel aarde los en eindig je met een welhaast twee keer zo'n grote berg afval.

Um, kan hier zijn dat ik niet geheel de juiste techniek (met de schoffel) hanteer maar toch, ik vind het werken met een goed scherpe hak (of kap zoals ik 'm ook wel noem) effectiever. Plus plus, denk ik nu, de kans dat je kwetsbare wortels van de vaste planten (in de tuin) schaadt is ook kleiner.

Wilde vandaag aan de gang (met wieden) maar het regent bijna continue hier. :meh:

Op zand vind ik een schoffel wel fijn, hier in de polder kan ik er niks mee.

[TheoK]

You found a shovel that you can't find in the polder?

[lutra]

^ No, no.. Hykey said that a shovel is basically no good with 'polder'/clay soil. That's the type of soil at her whereabouts (a polder/gained land from the sea/lake).

Sandy soils, like we have in the region I live in, a shovel does the trick nicely.

(where I still prefer a hoe to get rid off weeds/read my post above  )

['andersom']

I wasn't talking about a shovel, but about a "schoffel"

[TheoK]

Jaså, en hacka. Det kunde du ju ha sagt då. Jag trodde så klart att det var en skyffel

['andersom']

My guesses at the meaning of Swedish sentences is improving.
