‘Oxveckorna.’ Now there’s a word I needed, but didn’t know existed until now. ‘The ox weeks.’ The long, dark, featureless weeks between New Year and Easter when there are no public holidays, and everything’s dull, and the weather is harsh, and you just trudge to and from work, day in, day out. The weeks when you slog through every day like a toiling ox. Tack, my Swedish friends, for naming the concept.

@CiaraNi Fika all day during Oxveckorna because nothing is hygge (a little Norwegian assist)!

@shom It's why hygge was invented, to get us through these weeks. Coffee, certainly, but also candles and blankets and hats with the cosiest of ear flaps.
