Snow

This is what it looked like when I looked out the window this morning.
It's beautiful, but I don't think it will last, since it's a couple of degrees above zero now. It creates a problem for me too, since I got the second notice that I need to return a book today and I don't have any fitting footwear. On Yule the tongue on one of my Doc Marten's finally gave up. I've had those boots for at least five years and it was already after one month that the tongue started cracking and tearing. Now it finally gave and I don't have a tongue to protect me from the wet snow. A sensible person should have spent the money I spent on a digital camera on a new pair of Doc's, the price is roughly the same, but I have wanted that camera so long. And it really doesn't snow that often here in Gothenburg.

My folk costume

A couple of days ago mirazandar and I had a discussion about folk costumes in her journal. This is combination with my new digital camera prompted me into action and i have now made a separate page about my folk costume. There are pictures of the individual garments and lots of information about them. Unfortunately there is no photo of me actually wearing it. For some reason nobody has taken any photos of me in it and now I can't fit into it anymore. I have a photo where I'm sitting with my cousin's baby in my arms, where you can see some of the costume and as soon as I get to my friend Anna who has a scanner, I will put it on the web page.
