Melted away


Dummy blondes - mannequins in Åhlens department store.


I was in Scandinavia during the week. Where's the snow ?, I asked the taxi driver. It melted during the week, he replied, but we do have some rain. Rain? Where I come from, we don't need any more rain…There was a bit of snow today in Galway, of the wet, sloppy and not-so-much- fun-to-walk-in variety. Proper snow promised in the west for later in the week.



So that's how Santa's little helpers get to all the girls and boys - elves in Copenhagen airport

UPDATE 22nd December: Bad news for elves in Helsinki this year - they're Finnished!.

Haven't made it to Helsinki yet, though I was in Turkuu earlier this year.

Looks like nothing but sleet here in Ireland until the New Year.
