Finally finished my translation.
It's a Swedish TV program about a young criminal who escaped from Sweden with 4 million Kroner. ($430,000 or £350,000 but this was in 1992 so worth more now) . he'd defrauded some companies, declared his own companies bankrupt but when a tax return for the 4 mill was paid into a bank got a 'friend' to help withdraw it in 17 briefcases and then fled with the lot.
He ended up as wifey's boyfriend but then fled again when Interpol came hunting. Last heard of in Australia.
I did okay out of it.
Inherited three pairs of handmade Italian shoes, two beautiful suits and loadsa shirts and stuff.
hey ho. :)

Good morning CDR

Happy Advent!

Here in the UK we have Advent Calendars where you open a numbered window each day until Christmas Eve. Depending on your calendar, there's a picture or a treat, behind the window. Do you have these in the US too?

@johnandjade I hope your tooth is sorted today.

I'm pleased to report that it's a little warmer than yesterday

Good morning, Linda!
Happy first day of December.
No advent here, of course. And no Christmas. And New Year's is seen by some individuals as an evil Western influence. We're such a fun bunch in winter, you see. :D

Hello Lena :)

What about back in Russia? Is Advent a thing in the Russian Christian tradition?

I just looked at my facebook and back in 2010 we had 8 inches of snow down on December 1st with another 4" forecast. All the schools closed. We don't get snow like that very often in the south and we just couldn't cope!

My husband was working in Australia and only just managed to get home. He was on pretty much the last plane that was able to land at Heathrow for the day. (Slight difference in temperatures between Sydney and here too :D)
