St Lucia

What a wake-up we had today. The Swedish soldiers at the PO had decided to stay true to the traditions of their homeland. A picture is supposed to say more than a thousand words, but in the case of Lucia one should really hear the singing as well. As it were, at least one of the participants of this very peculiar Lucia procession could actually sing. The rest were trying their best. This must be a very famous Lucia ensemble, because it's performance has already reached the internet on at least two blogs.


"Staffan va' en stalledräng..."

The rest of the day was pretty standard, really. A patrol with two meetings and a quick stop at the mayor's office, a briefing with our interpreters, and, to everyone's surprise, almost two hour's at the gym! I'm going to have sore muscles tomorrow.

P.S.: About today's incident: NSTR (nothing special to report).
