Today we went for a school trip, as I like to call it. At work they call it “building a professional business case by shadowing a well known and complex operation”… but who can say that anyway. Therefore school trip it is.
I sat next to one of our awesome ladies from the Philippines who told me that hours after she was born, a gecko fell down from the roof and landed on her forehead. Her mum that’s was holding her in her arms was petrified and just starred at it for about a minute before it decided to move. My colleague explained to me that she was convinced this meant good luck and that she is the lucky charm in the family due to this. I explained that if it happened in Sweden the hospital would be in lock down.
On a totally different note… This is a picture of a mince pie. Well half of it as the other part is in my belly. It was a rather interesting discovery today to notice that mince pie is not with meat but dried fruit. I wish someone would have warned me. My mouth wasn’t ready for that kind of shock.
Love how we go from gecko to mince meat pie lol!!

The mince pie thing…I never understood as a kid. I think in the olden days mince meat was used, but some bright spark realised it tasted rank.

Ah…makes sense then…I just couldn’t get in to my head why the hell it just couldn’t be called dried fruit pie.

I had a similar experience with mincemeat pie, but since I do not eat meat, I was pleasantly surprised to have found another pie I could eat!
