I took out our camera and started to arrange some items for that perfect photo. As I turned on the camera the annoying “change batteries” message was blinking in the viewfinder. We don´t have any batteries at home of course and we never did buy those reschargeable once. Hmm… good Christmas gift idea!
The plan was to blog about first of advent. That is today, Sunday. We have special candleholders for 4 candles. We light one candle each Sunday leading up to Christmas. This weekend most everyone scrubbed their home, washed their windows, put up Christmas curtains, Christmas decorations, stars or special candles in every window.
So did we! Even the Christmas table cloth is on the table. I wanted to show you some of that but it will have to wait. I just have to get some batteries first!

I believe that walk score is cool, but nowadays more and more people prefer to drive cars. Homes are often located in an area where some establishments are easier to get to by car than on foot. I’ve recently found a type of service on drivescore.fizber.com which is called Drive Score. It shows a map of what establishments are in your neighborhood and calculates a Drive Score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance. It doesn’t mean that drive score is better than walk score – they are equal and both necessary in the modern world!

When you are out shopping for batteries, can you please see if they have some human re-chargeable batteries as well? If they do, I know what to get myself for Christmas!

I am not sure who Jane is!! And I don´t think both are necessary. We have to start doing something new, something else. Driving is killing!

I enjoy reading about your traditions in Sweden. Hope to see photos soon. A friend who travels to Sweden for his job here tells me how about the people of Sweden putting candles in their windows, and about how beautiful Swedish glass products are.

Skaffat batterier än? Något annat nytt att berätta? Nu kan jag fråga efter blogginlägg, eftersom jag själv precis lagt ut tre meningar och en bild, så jag behöver inte ha “dåligt samvete”!
Nä, det ska man ju inte ha för bloggen, såklart. Men kanske kan man få veta något om hur ni har det? Vad har ni för planer till jul, till exempel?
