Staying Longer

Shock horror news which you may not have all heard - we have now agreed to stay until May/June 2012. They wanted me to stay until spring next year but I suggested that since we were going to survive a whole winter, we would also appreciate some summertime too. So 6 months in Sweden has now become 18 months. This means we have more chance to do winter things we didn't do properly last winter - more iceskating on frozen lakes and also actually try cross-country skiiing. On the other hand it means we have to make it through the whole of winter and also the misery of the days rapidly getting shorter.
