God Jul = Merry Christmas

[speedysteve]

Here in Swedland we do Christmas (Jul - you might say Yule) today!

Wonder what Tomten = Santa has brought me? New cart? New pre? New amp?

Have a happy Christmas holiday to one and all.

How about enlightening people about the weird foodstuffs (weel from an English point of view - I mean, meatballs for Christmas!) as well as the drinks?

My only experience of Sweden was a short visit to Karlskrona. It was really interesting, especially the maritime museum. The most memorable thing however was an ice cream parlour. They were serving ice creams to young children that were half the size of their heads. I've never seen such enormous portions. I wondered if this is unique to Karlskrona or common in Sweden.

Tack sâ mycket

Actually, it's 'Tack så mycket'

Steve, var bor du i Sverige?

Jag bor i Uppsala just nu

 

[speedysteve]

Vi bor i Surrey UK nu.

En del av hjärtat och hjärnan bor kvar i Sverige fortfarande.

Vi bodde i Stockholm och sen Linköping innan vi flyttade.

Jag jobbade på Ericsson Radio och dom hade en utvecklings avdelning i Guildford.

Vi firar alltid på Svenskt vis.

Vi var på semester i Stockholm på Kungsholmen och gjorde allt vi hann med barnen.

Mycket finn stad, speciellt på sommaren.

I know but have you ever tried typing it with a French keyboard? Jag bor i Lyon

You will find that Finnish is much easier than Swedish on an AZERTY keyboard
