Forty years ago, I was in my first year of university, studying architecture and though I knew how to surf I hadn't been to Hawaii yet.

Kinky Boots and Hot Pants were very high on my 'must have' list when I was about 10. Sadly, no-one bought them for me.

When I was about 10, my mum made me a pair of hot pants (green, with a bib and braces), but I never quite managed to persuade her on the kinky boots; my best friend had red knee-high ones with lace-ups, which I coveted ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

So sorry: I forgot!
Apparently, I am not the only one who can speak a little Swedish. Speaking the language in modern-day Sweden is actually unnecessary as all school pupils learn English by the end of their second year: reading the written language may be helpful to travellers.
I took the language in my first year at the University of California because I hoped to be an exchange student at the University of Lund in my third year. The closest I came to that was having fallen in love with a Swedish-American girl when I was a teenager...
