Nelly i Rållis och -18 C på Nedre Kungsholmen






När djupet av snön överskrider mankhöjden måste man hoppa eller gräva tunnlar med nosen.

Idag var det bara -18 C
på Nedre Kungsholmen. Hoppas bilen startar och vänjer sig till -22 C då vi skall till Helsingfors imorgon.

Matthew the Young King or King Matt the First and a very special blue page concerning Korczaks fate

Matthew the Young King was the very first translation of Król Maciuś Pierwszy into English. Translated by Edith and Sidney Sulkin. The illustrations in this first American edition were by Irena Lorentowicz (New York: Roy Publishers, 1945).

When this book was published in 1945, there were still the rumors that Dr. Korczak had escaped the train that was taking him to the death camp of Treblinka; this rumor, printed on a special blue colored page in this book, turned out to be unfounded.

Last hours of Korczak and the children lives are presented by several false stories. A.o. that children were "marching" with the flag as a protest to Nazis, that they survive...

En minut till sex - Norr Mälarstrand






Nellys första promenad sker oftast före sex. Hon träffar sin älskade Ingrid. På den översta bilden är den någon som närmar sig. Nelly förbereder sig till Ingrids försvar!


Det är lugnt längs promenden, bara enstaka hundägare.


Nelly sprang längs trädstammen men upptäckte att inga andfåglar satt där,hoppade på isen och därefter poserade i det befintliga gatubelysningen.
