Today i had a picnic in the snow! yes, thats right... in the snow :)
Sanne, Mats, Naya and I went down to the lake.. (which in the summer time, everyone swims in) but in the winter it is of course all iced over and covered in snow.. so Sanne, Naya and I went skiing across it.. and Mats went ice skating.
It was lots of fun.. and we had packed some sandwichs and hot chocolate.. so once we had been skiing for a little while we found a spot in the middle of the lake.. and sat on a mat thing ontop of our skis and ate our food and drank our drinks.. it was very pretty, because it was very sunny today.. so the snow was all shiny.. and also because i havent really seen the sun much since i've been here! normally in the day time it is cloudy.
But just because the sun was out, doesnt mean it wasn't cold.. it was still freeeezingg!! i didnt drink my hot chocolate fast enough.. and by the time i got to my last mouthful it was cold, like it had been in a fridge.
once we'd finished eating and stuff.. we packed up and put our skis back on and skied back to the car.. to get from the lake to the car park.. there is a hill you need to get up.. and so i tried getting up it with my skis on like sanne and naya seemed to be able to do with so much ease!
but i really, really sucked at it! i kept sliding back down.. and it was a pretty steep little hill.. so it was really scary.. and i kept stacking it and it hurt.. anyways... i must have looked so hopeless and pathetic.. cos then sanne was like... maybe you can just take your skis off there.. and walk up.. haha... so i did.
oh and while we were skiing.. we went past a man and a woman fishing in the ice.. like did the whole cut a hole in the ice and sit there with a little chair and line in the hole... just like in the cartoons! anywaysss. we were talking to them for a bit.. and i had been asking sanne the other day whether people actually do that here... so after we finished talking to these people.. sanne said that we will do it sometime.. so im pretty excited about that :)
Back to school tomorrow for me.. it feels weird going back after having only been there for a week.. and then having a week off... feels a bit like my first day there all over again.. but i'm sure it will be fine and everything will seem familiar. It's good because tomorrow i don't have to start until 9.50am unlike most mornings where i start at 8.30!

Sounds like you're having quite a good time here in snowy Sweden ;)
ReplyDeleteThe winter-fishing is called 'pimpla' in Swedish, and it's called 'jig' in English 0_o
