Do you have names for every day in your country? In Sweden we have a couple of names for every day. Today it’s Matilda day. That reminded me of an old song I heard often as a kid.
I know another Matilda song too, Waltzing Matilda, the inofficial national hymn of Australia.
Then I know the Matilda movie from the Roald Dahl novel.
Do you know any other Matilda songs or anything else with Matilda attached?

I think you mentioned St. Matilda’s Day last year, Anna. Looks like most of your snow is gone?

Yes that white stuff is almost gone now. I hope it stays that way. Rain come down this evening instead of snow, so maybe we can hope for Spring soon 🙂

It’s quite different here. We just had a terrible snow storm and it isn’t over yet. Spring has been delayed. Boo hoo.

Today we reached 10 degree C! It’s Spring in the air I say. But they talk about snow in a few days again, so this time it’s just a short visit from Spring.

It’s -11’C and -20’C with the wind chill. It’s suppose to warm up a bit tomorrow.

I really hope you get some Spring temps. That’s just too cold. I know that kind of cold from December and January, but this winter we didn’t have many days with that low temps. Brrrrr!

Ja, jag fick ta ur en liten liten snöhög för att få ihop dem. Det var barmark överallt utom några små snöhögar.

We don’t have name days in the US… but I used to live in Sweden and enjoy the name day tradition. I still have my planner from 2001 from when the name says changed so the few months of 2000 don’t match with the rest of the planner lol
