It´s getting colder and colder here at nights now, so I´m not sure I´ll get red tomatoes on my bushes. I would like just a couple more days with sun and higher temperatures.

Many countries in the western part of the world got problems with the muslim countries when showing caricatyres of the profet Mohammed. Sweden on the other hand now has problems with Israel instead. One of our newspapers had an article, that actully is a very old story, about palestinians beliving that the Israel army stole internal organs from those palestinians killed by them. I think they brought it up because of the resent scandal with organ trade by, amongst others, jewish rabbins. The person writing the article didn´t say that this was true, just that the palestinians said so.

This is a relative or subspecies of the Red eldeberry. I bought the seeds by the name Sambucus ussuriensis, but I can´t find that name anywhere. Unlike the berries on the red eldeberry, these berries isn´t poisounes. The bush gets damaged by our winters and my lawn mower :-)

Finally someone has cut down all the grass on the "clean road". I think it´s my neighbour even if it´s not his grounds. I sometimes feel that I have shown what there is to see in my neigbourhood, so if Yoy recognise the sites You probably are right.

All hell broke loose when the Israeli governement found out about that article. They demanded that the swedish governement should condemn the article in public. Our governement then said that they would do no such thing, we have freedom of the press here, written down in our constitution. Our governement would brake the law by doing that. Unfortunally the israel governement and many of those living in that country can´t understand that at all, so now sweeds are called antisemitic in demonstrations down there.

But I don´t think it´s worse here than in any other place. The last war down there did however get most of the world against them, they did things not allowed in war. But we unfortunally forgets that the Hamas men, fully aware of what would happen, did run in to hospitals and schools to hide during battle. They didn´t hesitate to sacrifice their own to make a point. The fighting in that region is so old and dirty that it is impossible to say that any one is better than the other, or worse! But I have to say that the way the now are treating the palestinians looks very much like how they were treated when the nazis put jews in ghettos during the world war 2.

But normally we sweeds don´t make a lot of noice in the world :-) No one noticed us in the athletic world cup for instance :-) :-) Once a year we hand out the Nobel price and the Polar music prize. We do get noticed when our royal family visit some country too :-) many belive we make good watches and that polar bears walks around in our streets in winter :-) But no, the watches are made in Switzerland and no poarbears has ever walked in our streets.

It´s autumn but there is still no colors on the trees here, but we have mushrooms of different sorts. If You don´t like watching them, stop look on the pictures from now :-) :-)

Not only humans loves mushrooms, snails and slugs do too :-)

But there´s one thing most kids knows and that is absolutly true! Santa Claus, or as we call him "The Christmas gnome" lives in Lappland in Sweden :-) Many places and countries tries people to belive different, but they have only copies of the real one. Perhaps they are his brothers? The real one however lives here in Sweden :-)

Have a great day now!
