Those are the first words of the Swedish national anthem which will be sung a few times today, because today is the Swedish National Day. It is a rather new occurrence; it used to be only a day to celebrate the national flag and these days it is even a public holiday (see link). In true Swedish egalitarian, democratic fashion the people had a say in which existing public holiday should be sacrificed. You must not have too many! To find out more about Sweden follow this link. I and Mrs S will celebrate in true, modest Swedish manner, although she is English. We will have a meal tonight at our favourite Italian restaurant in our German town before I watch England and Estonia play a qualifying football game. Sadly I cannot get the Iceland v. Sweden game on our cable so I have to rely on the internet. Du Gamla Du Fria....

England won as did Sweden, with Rosenberg scoring a cracker of a goal! :)
Thanks for stopping by and posting. I must admit, however, that my profile test is attributed to a Canadian beer company.
