today is första advent and skyltsöndag, all at once. big! we lit a candle for breakfast, and let the neighbour deal with the snow. he hates us anyway, so we decided we might just as well take it easy :)

i have to say i was disappointed at the sollefteå skyltsöndag, though. even långsele was better at it! embarrassing! met an iraqui journalist, and tried to explain the concept of skyltsöndag. don't think he fully got it. maybe i should have adviced him to go to långsele, to see how it's really supposed to be... he took lots of pictures of the pup. said that in iraq dogs like that bite.

now i'm reading in front of the fire, while the husband is shoveling snow from the balcony. when he's done we'll have lussekatter bought at the market. första advent is almost better than christmas!  ¶ 9:07 PM
