The Swedish Weaver (term coined by Rachylou here) came out this morning in the shape of orange and knitted fest. Not sure of the result, but enjoyed wearing it anyway. The weather was on my side but it would be too light normally. Maybe the taupe booties don't go with the dress (cool tone + warm tone). You be the judge. Also, I read somewhere that it is not fashionable to wear a dress with the belt it came with, to rather wear a better belt. And although I don't lack in the belt department, I ended up wearing the original belt because I find it doesn't cut me in half. Do you have this issue?

Today there was a rampage downtown, a gunman shot a soldier at the parliament then was on the loose, injuring others. The whole city was shut down, the school where I teach went into confinement, helicopters were zipping by in the sky... an exam was planed for today, but instead, I spent the period just being with my students, trying to be reassuring as I could. Finally I had them write down their reactions to what was going on. It was treated like any other writing, I corrected it, then told them to fold it and save it in a special place, like between the pages of a dictionary, so they would find it in one, or five years from now, and they would have a memory of today. I saw they were incapable of doing anything else, but this, they did readily, because I beleive they needed to express themselves about how they felt.
