Raining, raining, raining

It's raining and raining and raining. Raining in the winter is normal for Göteborg, but not constantly and this much and what definitely isn't normal is that we haven't had a cold day yet this year. This also not just something I imagine, but a scientifically recorded change. Of course we need longer time to be absolutely certain that specifically Göteborg's climate is changing due to the increased greenhouse effect, but for the world as a whole there is no doubt. And I blame everyone who drives a car while living in a town, especially a SUV, and every company and person who have their little electric christmas candlesticks on even when no-one is there/at home (typical swedish thing).
And myself of course, I consume, I sit by the computer; heck the reason I complain about the rain is that I wanted to walk downtown to get some sewing supplies. But at least I mostly travel by tram and train and try to buy locally produced stuff. And I turn off my telly on the set, not just leave it on stand-by and I unplug my christmas tree at night!

Meh, it's just the weather getting to me. As soon as it stops raining I will be back with a more optimistic and cheerful attitude; deliberately ignoring what's going on with the environment and the world, focusing on my costuming and clothes.

New shoes

Just to show that I:

a) am a hypocrite
b) have the attention span of a hamster.

Here is a photo of my new shoes I bought on sale from the swedish mail order company Ellos and which arrived today.

What to do?

I can't decide if I should continue grading tests (half done) or make pockets in my latest sewing project: a mundane dress. Both sounds about as appealing.
