Hibernate (hi-ber-nate) - to pass the winter in a dormant or torpid state.
Say what?
Dormant (dor-mant) - lying asleep or as if asleep; inactive. Torpid (tor-pid) - deprived of the power of motion or feeling; benumbed.
Huh?
Benumbed (be-numbed) - to be made numb, especially by the cold.
Ok, so I could go on, after all I have no idea what all these funny words mean but I think you get the picture. I have been away pretty much all winter, in fact the last you heard from me I was just about to turn one.
You see I haven't had a moment's peace. Been rushed off my feet. I've been snowed under... Literally. Even if Sweden does have tons of words for different types of snow, there's only so much a boy can blog about it! So let's leave the winter and say a big hello to spring, or vår as we call it here, and a big hello to your fab host, me!
This is my second spring and to me it seems it brings a big dollop of hope with it. This past week or so mum and dad always want to go out somewhere or do something. "Let's go for a cycle!" or "let's go into town and meet some friends!" But I'm certainly not complaining, especially when cycling usually means we stop off at the playground and meeting friends usually means tasty fika!
This spring we're also busy making plans. Plans for our trip to England in May, plans for a trip to Gothenburg in July and plans for a visit from my godfather Tom in September. All will be ace.
So let's hoist a flag to the arrival of spring and to all the hope, promise and plans it brings. Maybe this spring be the one you remember for great reasons. Make it happen!
