Annandag jul – Boxing Day

oldsnta

I’m not doing much of anything, and loving it. After studying/working for sometimes up to 18 hours a day, I really need days of not much of anything.

I’ve been alone here for most of the day and have spent it lying on the couch watching tv, dozing off now and then. Very, very unlike me, but nice!

It’s been a nice Christmas so far. A bit strange – breaking up from a 14 year long relationship kinda turns things over a bit, but still: nice.  I’ve had lots of (too much – isn’t that always the case at Christmas?) good food, good drinks, lovely gifts (Santa, whose name this year starts with a U ;-) gave me some beautiful red yarn for a shawl, and some white yarn for a hat, among other things) and precious time with loved ones.

I was worried I’d be coming south to a muddy, snowless Christmas..ha! It’s snowing and snowing and it just won’t stop! :-)

It’s really snowing like mad right now, and there’s a heavy wind too. I’m staying indoors, keeping warm with glögg, a fire and another red shawl (this one’s a Kiri).

今日眠いです。でも、良いクリスマスでした。サンタは私に多くの良いプレゼントを与えました。;-)
美しい赤い毛糸を受け取りました。シャールを編もうとしています。

今日雨がとても降っています!でも、天候は冷たくありません。

私は一月三日にArvidsjaurに戻ります。私はそれをとても楽しみにします。

    Hej Ulrika,
    after hard work for your sami-test, do you think the test will be sucessful? So you can “joiken” on the rest of Christmas. When I was in Lappland 2 years ago, I learned s.th. about the sami-culture and I like it very much and I think it must be very interesting to study the history and culture of the Sami people.
    Christmas-greetings from the north of Germany, Sylvia

    Hej Sylvia!
    The test went very well so I’ve enjoyed a restful Christmas. :-)
    I don’t know how to do a jojk though. :)
    The Sami people interest me a lot too.

    Det gjør godt med noen late dager hvor man gjør minst mulig, og det beste ut av enhver situasjon. Har vært en fin jul i Drammen også :) Vi har fått ca 75 cm snø siden den 24. og nå har vi -13 her…kaldt,men jeg liker vinter, elsker den mørke men enn så lyse årstiden :) Ha en fin natt.

    Rune – jag är usel på att “göra ingenting”, men jag börjar inse att ibland är det precis vad man behöver. :-)
    Oj oj OJ vad mycket snö ni fått på så kort tid!!

    Jag trodde att jag hatade vintern, men har upptäckt att det gör jag inte alls, tvärtom! För precis som du skriver är den visserligen mörk, men ändå så ljus.

    En fin söndag önskar jag dig!
