That was the winter, that was....
Hi folks,
Well it seems Im crap at blogging, even when I have "plenty of time", Unfortunately, the plenty of time I have doesnt occur in the same room as the PC (Nova is a VERY light sleeper, and she sleeps in the same room as the computer
) , so my blogging, and writing are not coming on as well as I would have hoped for. Never mind, I will just have to wait until January 1st, when I can get my new telephone, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 ( http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/x1?cc=gb&lc=en# ), possibly the coolest phone ever built, and then I will be able to blog where ever the heck I am!!
Anyway, there is not so much exciting happening in our world right now, we are slowly getting ready for Christmas, and Luka's birthday, which is almost as much fun as it was when I was a kid, He nearly got a Wii , but after he tried out a friends it was a little hard for him so we decided to wait a year until he's a little older
.
Otherwise, we had a week of Winter over here last week, which was also great fun, about 6 inches of snow over 2 days and Luka loved it, although I think his Mom was a bit harsh getting him to drag her about everywhere..

Luka was very sad that he couldn't ride his sledge at daycare without a helmet, so of course, Daddy went out and spent about 30 quid on a real nice one, then the snow melted the next day!!!
The only other news is a new instalment from the Crazy Cat Lady™ ,
We received a semi- anonymous letter signed only "Elsa with 3 indoor cats" , telling us she had heard how we have a cat that we abuse, leave out in the rain and don't feed properly, etc etc, and that we should be aware that the penalty's for cruelty to animals had just been raised, and also perhaps it would be a good idea if we gave him to someone that would care for him properly!
We have compared the handwriting to Crazy Cat Lady™'s , and it is not hers, the letter was posted somewhere in Stockholm, she knew which floor we live on, that we have 2 Kids, and actually spelled my name right, ( 99% of Swedes spell it Stevensson, the Swedish way.). After much gossiping with the rest of our neighbours no one seems to know who "Elsa" is, but everyone agrees it must be either a friend, or pseudonym of the Crazy Cat Lady™.
Well, I bumped into Crazy Cat Lady™ yesterday and asked her how her friend Elsa is?, she ignored me, and tried to scurry away, but I corned her, and asked her if she understood what "Dont talk about me, or my family" meant, she stammered that she "had not said anything to anyone", So I told her that as she is the only person in the village that has a problem with us, I knew she was involved somehow, and if we heard one more thing, I would call the Police and get her done for harassment. Perhaps if angry Englishman can't shut the old hag up, the threat of arrest might!
One final note, I really hope that her friend Elsa does call the Swedish RSPCA to us. As usual Oskar is now in "Winter Mode" , in the summer he goes dead skinny , but this time of year he has the same build as a small furry hippopotamus. It would be fun to get an experts opinion on just how abused he is!!!!
Love to one and all,
Lee
