A concert, a good movie and a slight hangover!



För baletten och kostymerna svarar Nicolas Musin. I en direktsändning från Musikverein skickar Wienfilharmonikerna traditionsenliga och välklingande nyårshälsningar. Dirigent är Georges Pretre.
Afternoon Movie:
Ivanhoe from 1982 with one of my favorite actor Sam Neill, Sam plays 'Brian Guilbert'....very nice. James Mason as 'Isaac of York' and Anthony Andrews as 'Ivanhoe'. Perfect movie on the New Years Day. I think this is the best version though the one that was made 30 years earlier, 1952 with Elisabeth Taylor and Robert Taylor isn't bad either.

My niece Emma in the Church of Vaxholm - Min 'lilla' brordotter Emma som Lucia i Vaxholm kyrka
Lucia brings light to Sweden Read about the history of Saint Lucia from Sicily!
"Natten går tunga fjät, runt gård och stuva. Kring jord, som sol förlät, skuggorna ruva.
Idag njuter vi av Lucia med sång, gott kaffe med lussekatter, kanske ett Luciatåg med Lucia (Lucior om vi är på dagis), tärnor , stjärngossar och kanske ett par nissar. Va härligt.

Butter glaced Saffron buns, the ideal recipe for 'antiwrinkle' bread.
Saffron buns sprinkled with sugar
Another perfect day in paradise, despite the weather. Today was one of those day that we didn't get proper daylight, very grey and no sun at all. Missy M and I decided to bake some lovely Saffron buns and play Scrabble. Perfect!
PhotoHunt long roots

Photohunt-Long nap, Koala Phascolarctos cinereus Koalas have a slow metabolism and sleep for most of the day.
Long timeThe Twelve Apostles - Great ocean road. The relentless, stormy Southern Ocean and blasting winds gradually eroded the softer limestone, forming caves in the cliffs. The caves eventually became arches and when they collapsed, rock islands up to 45 metres high were left isolated from the shore.

This year I made a non traditional Advent candle holder with an Indian twist, 'Kerala style' with lush green ‘hills’, added an elephant, a lime fruit, spices and cinnamon sticks.
In Sweden during Advent we light all our 'Advent candle holders', the traditional ones have four candles and you light one for each Sunday until Christmas Day. One candle on the first Sunday, two the second etc. We also have the electrical 'candle holders' and an electrical Advent star that we switch one during the whole period of Advent.
Tänk va skönt att vi äntligen är inne i Advent. Nu får vi ta fram alla våra fina Adventsgrejer. Ljusstakar, stjärnor, mossa, svampar, röda bär.....sedan hyasinter, amaryllis, pepparkakor ojojoj så mycket härligt.
Det pinsamma var att jag hade helt glömt bort elljusstakarna igår, jag hade gjort iordning min icke traditionella 'indiska' adventsljusstake men helt glömt bort de andra. Det har en på jobbet som började prata om sina adventsljusstakar då jag kom på....oj! jag har glömt att ta ner dom från vinden! Det var Skyltsöndag i Vaxholm i helgen så mina tankar var väl där, har varit busy med att Julskylta. Att julskylta är jättekul tycker jag och det blev riktigt fint.
