Last Friday we had a bit of a Burn´s night with a few friends from work. Luckily I work beside someone from scotland who had bought a couple of haggis and invited us around. You can see a bemused swede in the background of the photos.

La noche de Burns en Suecia/Burn´s Night in Sweden
Para los que no sean escoceses, la noche de Burns celebra nuestro poeta más famoso (y algunos dirían nuestro único poeta famoso). Comemos las esquisitas delicias de escocia - haggis, nabos y patatas - recitamos poemas y también bebemos whisky. El viernes pasado fuimos al piso de un amigo escocés del trabajo para celebrarlo.

Calimocho al estilo sueco
Hicimos un experimento con el legendaria bebida sueca que se llama Julmust. Julmust es una bebida(refresco) que la gente aquí bebe durante navidades y tiene un sabor como coca-cola pero más dulce. Porque echamos de menos los aspectos más finos de la cultura española decidimos hacer un tipo de calimocho con el. Aquí veis el proceso de producción.
On Friday we did at bit of an experiment with a drink they have here called Julmust which is drunk during xmas and outsells even coca-cola - making it a bit like the irn-bru of Sweden. In Spain it is common to mix cheap red wine and coke to make calimocho so we decided to do the same with the Julmust. Here you can see the process and the end result.

Como escribir en sueco/ How to write in Swedish
Aquí hay un ejemplo de escritura runica que encontramos en Lund el otro día. Parece algo de "El señor de los anillos". Afortunadamente el sueco moderno es un poco más fácil de entender y no hace falta escribir en tablas de piedra.
Here is an example of some runic writings we found in Lund the other day. This one says "McDonalds only 200 metres away".

Nieve/Snow
la primera nieve del invierno. Aquí Tosca está contemplando la posibilidad de salir al jardín para hacer un muñeco de nieve. Desgraciadamente la nieve desapareció y no tenemos jardín!
Casi olvidé decir que esto es nuestro nuevo piso y jardín comunitario.
The first snows of the winter arrive in Lund. Here Tosca is thinking about going out to build a snowman. Unfortunately the snow melted in a day. This is the view from our new flat and shared garden.
