Helleborus

...or "Julros", 'Christmas rose' as it's also called. When I bought it a week ago, together with a "Julstjärna" 'poinsettia', there were no developed flowers on it but apparently it likes it here.

Speaking of that, it is now eleven days since I saw the sun, my neighbour has fled to Las Palmas to spend Christmas with her daughter and I'm left to fight the greyness as well as I can. I'm not suffering, I got what I need but sunlight is so important for the wellbeing.

I got my hearing back this morning! At the second attempt the nurse managed to rinse my ears, now I'm a newborn auditor.
