The week before Christmas

Ice on Monday morning in Borås.

When I arrived at Borås sunday night it was a bit cold in the air and on the morning when I went to work I found ice on the small water pools. On my way home in the afternoon I went hunting for the candle light holder I read that the pupils in the electrical class at Viskastrandsgymnasiet had built and found it and a lighted Christmas goat as well.

The weather has been around zero during the first half of the week and this means it has been a bit slippery to walk some mornings as the water on the streets freeze. Sun during the day though at least now and then. On Friday it rained and it was very dark during the few daylight hours. We are down to six hours of daylight a day but next week the year will turn and the daylight hours increase again.

Friday I went home to Malmö by train as usual. This time all trains were on time.

Happy Holidays to you all!

Walking on Östra Långgatan in Borås on monday night.

I went searching for Christmas lights at Viskastarndsgymnasiet and found a lighted Christmas goat on their roof.

I also found the giant triangular Christmas candle holder built by the pupils in the electrical class on the roof of the electrical department at the school Viskastrandsgymnasiet.
