Gift basket

This past Sunday Tue had his birthday. The gift forecast didn't look fantastically overwhelming as by Friday evening only one letter had arrived for the birthday boy - and we knew that the Swedish postal service doesn't deliver on the weekend.


Which is why Tue was caught by surprise when Lisbeth presented him with a veritable gift basket full of goodies. The basket contained a hat, socks, tea, chocolate, chutney, jam, lemongrass paste and saffron. The magazine in the picture wasn't actually a gift, but it arrived by mail a few days before the big day, so Tue insisted on opening it together with his birthday mail.

Later in the day we enjoyed a piece of freshly baked birthday cake - more specifically a pecan nut cake with a caramel frosting.

To alleviate the worst withdrawal symptoms on the day after, Tue could open the additional greeting cards which arrived by mail Monday.
