We had plans to go to Stockholm today. We were going to shop for some Christmas gifts to bring back to the US. However, when I was practicing listening to Swedish news last night, I heard that it was the Nobel Prize celebration in Stockholm today.
There would be thousands of people converging on the city. So, we opted to stay in Uppsala.
Anya biked through the inch of new snow to the mall. I stayed home and plowed through Amazon. There is no Amazon.com in Sweden, but Amazon.UK does ship to Sweden with some shipping expenses. Fortunately, they aren’t too exorbitant for the few special things we can’t easily find here.
The afternoon included Swedish lessons for me and baking cookies by Anya.
With being a little bit off center yesterday, it was good to have a slow day at home today. After a busy week of new course preparation for double classes on Monday and Friday, it was good to put a chunk of time into Swedish learning. It still is not coming along fast enough for what I want, but I know every bit helps.
With blessings,
Beth
