We were woken around 6.45 this morning by my pensioner neighbour who was driving his tractor up and down to clear some snow. The fact that a retired neighbour has a tractor in his garden is odd enough, but to get out of bed that early on a sunday morning, why?
Couldn't he wait till at least after 8? The same problem arises every day in the shops in Gällivare. Shop owners up here are not the most flexible, open 10 -17 closed for lunch (of course lunchtime is the only time i get to go to the shops!). I do not buy many items locally due to the fact they are always closed!!!
The only shops that seem to open at lunchtime are the big supermarkets. Guess who goes shopping between 12 and 1....the pensioners! Why oh why do people that have all day long to go shopping do it why i have my only chance! Shopping at ICA at lunchtime can take 45 mins of my hour. Another problem in Gällivare is that the ICA doubles as the post office - the same checkout (despite the fact that the post office is the building next door you must collect parcels from ICA). So i wait and wait just to buy my pint of milk.
Oh my god......i am sounding like my mum.....aargh!
