Having breakfast today felt like having dinner. That’s what happens when you wake up at 14:30 in December in Stockholm. It’s dark outside.
I recalled I have on my hard drive this photo of a strange statue called Fabeldjur that I took last week on Norr Mälarstrand in Kungsholmen.
In my opinion it looks like a dog surprising a swan. I just wanted to share it with you in this special day which I actually missed, by waking up when it was already dark.
We also often have breakfast at 13 – 14 hours in weekend days.
However here in Germany is still light.. up until four in the afternoon.
I remember being in the summer in Sweden, and living the exact opposite: 12 in the night was still a bit of light outside, we would sleep for 3-4 hours then daylight was back. Actually, it never really got pitch dark in the night.
How do you stand this winter time and dark days?
Greetings from Heidelberg, where the Christmas market have meanwhile opened.

Olivia, thanks for the comment.
The answer to your question is plenty of alcohol and wild parties.
Ok, the real answer is: we think about the summer days.
There are a couple of Christmas markets here as well, in Kungstragarden, Gamla Stan and Skansen, for instance.
hey there,
there is also several Christmas markets here in Bucharest as well…is very nice and interesting to visit.
a lot of “manele”, extremely crowded, everybody is trying to park there big SUVs in the middle of the markets….you should try..we have a lot of fun here.
Lack of light might lead to suspicious behavior
. I am wandering if the swan enjoyed 
As I am writing from a country where I will buy the Christmas tree in TShirt is quite strange to understand the feeling there…maybe I have to see it by myself
@kZan
Nice to hear you’re having fun.
@eddy There are guys buying Christmas trees wearing t-shirts here as well. They’re Finnish.
I believe it´s more the first variant with alcohol and wild parties that keep you going. No, ok, just kidding: the photos are pretty clear. Or are they all taken in the summer?!
Kzan – regarding manele, something funny happened to me here in Germany. One of my new Romanian friends – a lovely young lady – just send me and the rest of friends the invitation to go to a disco in Mannheim, where they play mostly manele!!
I can´t believe this invitation.. if there had been a cultural reason to leave Romania, that would have been manele mostly..
Also, I can´t understand they play manele at Xmas markets.. is it Gutza singing Jingle bells??!
