eat cream buns on Fat Tuesday

Man, I ate the best cream saffron bun combo ever on Friday. It was basically a Lussekatt, a saffron bun, literal translation - Lucia cat,combined with a Semla, a cream bun. Spectacular!

Photo looks lovely. Darikness at 3:00pm. Those long nights. Lots of time to cuddle up in front of a fire and enjoy warm drinks . And go through the motions of… ummm, breeding?  Yes! Let’s do Sweden!

Sweden sounds like a good place to visit next christmas. I imagine one can count of a white christmas there.

It was a close call this year. Started to snow just ten days or so before Yule. This is a photo I took on the 19th. It’s shot in the dark with my mobile, so it’s kinda crappy, but you get a feel for the snow. Crappy mobile photo

If you go north above the town of Sundsvall you are pretty much quarantined snow. In Stockholm and further south, not so much.

Hmm, you have more snow than I have what is this!? Where in the country do you live?

Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman’s cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
