- I never learned how to park between two other cars on the side of the road, you know what I mean? It is called pocket parking in Swedish. My driving teacher didn´t find it necessary - apparently she thought I would stay in my hometown all my life where there´s plenty of parking space everywhere
- I like to sing, soprano
- My second name (which by the way comes before my given name), is Eva
- I have once made it to the semi-finals in a competition for looking things up in the telephone catalogue as quickly as possible
- I almost never wear makeup since I don´t really know how to apply it
- I love all smoked food - fish, meat and cheese
- I can drive a tractor if I really have to
- I have a lot of grey hairs, dyes it sometimes but actually I like it as it is
- I have never eaten fresh coriander
- I have once fed fruit to a large flying dog called Pusjkin , in a bat sanctuary in Cape Tribulation Australia. And I am afraid of bats! But he was so cute.

1) With, at most, a paragraph and possibly a simple drawing, I can teach you how to parallel park. I was taught in an 8 ton fire truck with no power steering.
3) Interesting. It's much the opposite here. "Middle names" aren't used too ofter. When my mother used mine, I knew I was in serious trouble.
5. You don't need it. If you go to a special occasion, have it applied by a pro and insist on it to be very light and airy. You will look stunning. I know how to apply make-up and I wear it everyday but when I go out to a special thing, I go to a pro and I love the pampering thing in it Hairdresser, make-up artist, manicure is the usual trio all at the same beauty salon, such a treat and puts you in a fantastic mood for the party.
9. This has to be corrected ASAP! Don't try it dry. It doesn't taste anything. I remember in Sweeden and Norway I had a hard time finding lemons and such. Well, I found lemon in Oslo and I just was under the impression I was buying 18 carats gold lemons (exagerating of course but still). They were so expensive!
I hope you'll be able to experience the taste of cilantro soon.
5. Nobody related to your mother or aunts could possibly need any help!
Thanks for sharing, Clivia! Here's mine:
1) I can't park either
2) I sing (2nd) alto
3) only have one name. Sulk!
4) worked one summer for a month inserting data for a telephone directory:)
5) only really learnt make-up basics last autumn before my trip to Mexico (spent a fortune at Bobbi Brown's counter, but they did give a 1-hour consultation as well)
7) definitely no-no, although I've been on a tractor loads of times at my grandparents' farm
8) having blond hair is good for hiding any greys (not that I have any, of course;)
Steve, thanks for your tips on the parallell parking problem. Let´s see if I start practising or continue by all means avoiding "hard" parkings... And thanks for the compliment, but believe me, sometimes you want help!
Zoubida, I agree on the benefits of pros! I have tried it some times (once after I got sunburned in the face on the same day I would be toastmaster at a big party) and it is wonderful. Coriander is available here in most supermarkets, I really don´t have a reason not to try it...
Pille, I had almost forgotten that Estonia is a great choir country, as is Sweden. Sadly I had to quit my choir this autumn - lack of time... Do try tractor-driving, it is fun!
