Day 1925: IS TOO EARLY

IT IS TOO EARLY FOR:


LUSSEBULLAR.

THESE BUNS ARE FOR LUCIA ONLY!

 JULMUST.

 IT'S NOT TIME FOR CHRISTMAS YET

 TEMPERATURES LOWER THAN MY FRIDGE.

I DON'T WANT TO COMPARE THIS WITH THE EXTERNAL TEMP AT BREAKFAST
 AND GIVE UP ON MY DAY BEFORE IT HAS BEGUN, THANKS.

WEARING A COAT NOT A JACKET.

 DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN ONE OF THESE COATS...FOR LATER.

DARK. DARK. DARK. ALL THE TIME DARK.

A PIC FROM MY BEDROOM WINDOW

DARK WHEN I WAKE UP.


IS IT THE INSIDE OF MY EYELIDS, OR MY ROOM, OR BOTH?

DARK WHEN I LEAVE WORK.

 THIS IS THE BUS STOP WHERE I CATCH THE BUS

DARK WHEN I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW.

 OH, THERE'S A BIRD. I THINK. 

TRICK OR TREATERS.

SWEDISH PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHEN HALLOWEEN IS
KIDS JUST TRICK OR TREAT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS.

BALD TREES.

SERIOUSLY, I SNEEZED AND THE LEAVES WERE GONE.

VINTERDÄCK.

WHY ARE THE ROADS ICY ALREADY?

RECIPES TRYING TO REINVENT THE SAME OLD CHRISTMAS FOODS.

NO I DON'T WANT MAYONNAISE IN MY SAFFRON BUN.


PEOPLE ASKING ME WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

I DON'T KNOW 


SNOW. 

YEP, SEEN SOME ALREADY. NOT YET PLZ.


THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

Day 1314: Congratulations Rudolf & Ralf

Every day in Sweden is somebody's name day. Today is the turn of Rudolf and Ralf, who will receive a small gift and maybe a card from any traditional parents, friends, grandparents, godparents, relatives or teachers left in the land. All Swedish diaries will tell you which name day is today and a lot of people have the RASPBERRY ALMANAC in their workplaces to make sure they remember to buy chocolate for Anna, Sven, Olof and the rest of the cast of Frozen.


The royal family's name days are worthy of little flags on all the buses, but if you're a dirty foreigner like me with a dirty foreign name THERE'S NO GIFT FOR YOU. Although this twee little website believes in NAME DAYS FOR ALL (Alla i Sverige har rätt till en namnsdag!)

Ah, yes one of the great political struggles of our time. Hey, if they're successful then Sven and Anna will only have to share their day with 931 other names. What is your name day?
