But before you head off for that nap . . .

Allow me to introduce a new kind of Dalarna horse. The wooden horses of Dalarna
are an old Swedish tradition and there are many different styles. For more information:

Ylva's sister Ingela, who we were glad to be able to see again, has a whole new
"take" on this subject — the Dalaflodhäst (hippopotamus). This one, made by
Ingela herself, is resting comfortably on castanets. I think it could start a trend.
(The Dalaflodhäst, I mean. Resting on a set of castanets might not catch on as quickly.)

Hey Ingela — thanks again very much for that ride to the airport.
