More on Scandinavian Elves

Today elf Pok arrived. They didn't actually see him, but they found his suitcase (about the size of a book) in the milking shed. Grandfather had explained earlier that you need to put out some porridge and warm beer every evening in order to keep the elf in a good mood. (I didn't know about the beer. Warm beer sounds pretty "uarg" in my ears...) So when they find the suitcase (while Pok is probably talking to the cat - cats and elves always have a lot to talk about) they decide to make some porridge right away so that they would not forget. And when they fed the animals in the evening they could hear Pok smacking his lips from the hay loft.

I learn a lot of new words. Grandfather uses words I have never heard before. Luckily the little boy doesn't know them either, so they get explained pretty well. ;-)

My calendar gift was a Christmas tree light string. I decided to put it up in my hallway where I still have no light. Well, now I do. :-)
