Santa’s cap – not just for show
I like Santa's cap!
I have had a sore throat for a few days now and today I have been freezing. So I’m wearing almost all warm clothes I have now; long-sleeved shirt, sweater, scarf and warm socks. But I have no cap, so I’ve borrowed Santa’s cap. It’s keeping me warm!
I’m drinking tea with honey now and I hope I feel better tomorrow.

Yesterday morning when I was taking a walk with Gizmo, we met an elderly man with a dog. The man stopped and held his dog tight as we passed by, and said that his dog didn’t like other dogs. So we hurried us past them.
This morning we met again. I was waiting for a car to [...]

Today we went to Marsaxlokk for the Sunday market. Here are some examples of things to buy:
It was a lot of people here this sunday, more than usual. I guess it had something to do with the Christmas parade and entertainment! The kids were really good at dancing and the younger kids were so cute! [...]

We didn’t have all the traditional food we usually eat in Sweden on Christmas Eve, but Jan-Olof brought inlagd sill from Sweden and I made rödbetssallad after my grandmother’s recipe. We also had Findus småköttbullar and knäckebröd that we bought here in Malta. Kalle found som kind of sausage that looked like prinskorv, but it didn’t [...]

In the afternoon I went to Sliema to buy some clothes and more gifts. when I was done [...]

After 5 days of coughing and sneezing I finally feel better. I felt better already after two days and thought I could work on friday, but I didn’t wake up until 12.30 friday afternoon, so I guess I wasn’t ready for work after all.

Is there really no more fans of egg liqueur?

A few weeks ago I participated in a vote on which praline I like best in the Aladdin-box. I have several favourites but the one I finally voted for was the egg liqueur praline.
Today I read the result on Aftonbladet.se. My favourite praline didn’t even get 4% of the votes?! I’m surprized. The praline will be removed [...]
New slippers

I’ve been looking for slippers to wear at home for quite some time now. I didn’t want slippers with covered toes, ’cause then I feel to warm after a while. 99% of all cheap shoes they sell at the souvernir/stationary shops are flip-flops or similar, with a toe-thing… I like flip-flops but it’s impossible to [...]

Nä, jag trodde inte jag skulle behöva vinterkläder i medelhavet…
Jag mår bättre nu i alla fall.
