Swedish Word of the day...


I've been having fun watching a goat being built on a webcam...

OK, I know that doesn't sound too savory, but over the past few days the Gävle Goat has been built in the centre of Gävle. Its been quite entertaining. Last year was the first time the unofficial tradition of burning the goat failed due to the fact the straw was treated with special fire retardant chemicals...

If you want to watch the fun you can view the live feed here (don't forget to call the fire brigade if you see anyone trying to set it on fire!

So today's SWOTD is Julebock or "Christmas Goat"
