"M'Mother" has been complaining that I haven't updated m'blog often enough. So here is what happened at the weekend.
I've painted my kitchen over in the Relaxation Suite - the walls are no longer orange! It's now a rather pleasant pinkish/beige colour. My original plans to paint the kitchen purple were thwarted by Marianne, which is probably a good thing.
On Saturday evening there was a Saint Lucia concert at the church in Nora. It's a ceremony which opens the month-long Christmas festivities. Marianne and Niklas were busy doing something or other; the children were busy doing something or other else, so I went down myself to have a look. It was essentially a candle-lit concert by the church choir (including a lot of children) singing a mix of traditional Swedish Christmas songs, Christmas carols translated from English and even "we wish you a merry Christmas" in English. The choir was led by a girl with a crown of eight candles (lit) on her head. During this time, Father Christmas and a chap in a papier mache ram's head gave out sweets. The church itself is a very beautiful building; plain white on the outside, but red and green and gold inside and full of murals.
More later...
