I think very few around the world will be happy tomorrow…
It will be interesting to read at least the overview

As for Sweden I expect the worst. It has only been downhill so far and demography does not make it any better. Neither the current racist, political right wing goals to get rid of all the immigrant workforce that now actually keeps ALL of this country’s welfare going …

New blog from @asaplsnr - about the lobbying (corruption?) in Swedish and what research says about the phenomena.

Another Swedish municipality demanding more of its school staff but offering less resources … @Skolinkvisition is on tour giving seminars. This is a never ending story.

Next municipality for @Skolinkvisition & very much the same story. Higher demands & less resources for actual teaching in budget for next year. This time a neighboring town.
Those suffering in the end will be the kids when the for remaining teachers gets even worse than today - become more efficient somehow. I don’t envy the principals that have to handle these cuts

October was an awful month for me, and November as always really sucks. Sun set at 4 pm today and it will only get darker + next week we expect severe frost.
But …
It is now only more or less 1 month until the winter solstice, Dec 22 at 4.27 am (UTC+1), and today my garden was prepared for winter.
This is what it looked like this morning …

Plus the two large Rhododendrons were severely watered and new soil added in the flowerbeds in need.
My herbs behind the logs along the fence got cover. (I cross my fingers for rosemary and tarragon…)
The pile of branches to be mulched grew as the trees in the far back corner were pruned


@gardening

Soil and manure added

Covered herbs

Very tidy. Also up front
Remains tulip bulbs for me & return to painting in my kitchen without bad conscience
Of course the person accomplishing all this had a just as severe cold as last time he was here (sent him off with Coldzyme & my last copy of @Skolinkvisition ’s book, now on its way to the staffroom in a sec school in Borås of all places)

I’m still shivering … I think I’ll spend some time in bed, planning for dinner (fish perhaps?) & solving


@gardening

Clean front lawn

@sarahjelm@mastodon.social avatar

Talk about last minute to get rid of those leaves. Here’s the first snow at 8.30 am next morning, Nov.22:nd

The thermometer says +-0° & it’s 29 days, 20 min until the solstice.
This afternoon we expect heavy downfall, rain or & winds.
I’ll definitly stay inside.


@gardening

Garden from the patio

@sarahjelm@mastodon.social avatar

It is now 25,5 days until the . Outside it’s -5°C & the first thin ice is forming by the shore after a few days of hard winds. Next 10 days will stay well below +-0. Seems I’ve completly missed my chance to get tulips and narcissi in the ground. If this goes on the ground will be frozen solid.
Keeping busy inside instead …

Today I’m cooking … “Pressylta”, typical Swedish x-mas food & the one you can buy is both expensive & less spiced. I’ve also prepared an outdoor “fridge/freezer”, lined with styrofoam on the inside - a true recycling project, the other half of an old music case for records & vinyl-player. The top half is a bench in the hallway. Strangely enough I did not have a proper size hatch to protect food from magpies, squirrels & mice.

@gardening


Cupboard for keeping food outside.

I know you are not so keen about this site, but here is @Skolinkvisition ’s mega tread of today. It’s really worth following and if you are not that good at Swedish also translate. He’s offering a full seminar about how Swedish education ended up in the catastrophic state where it is today … referencing the historic policies and legislation changes over time and their consequences

Did you miss this? Don’t worry! No heavy reading today, just a really good introduction to the policies, discussions and research on grading and testing that seem to go on in most countries ... You can listen while you do other things … https://mastodon.social/@sarahjelm/111436542251244799

Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?

warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Inskription auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

Ein Aufruf den man nur unterstützen kann!

It’s definitely a system thing …
Every new professor & research student should be forced to read Stuart Richie’s Science Fictions as an introduction ;)
