Last Day of April

Today, a lot of Swedes celebrate spring by bonfires and eat great food. Paula is working at the hospital and gets extra pay because tomorrow is a holiday. The rest of us celebrate at home. We had a great meal, Daniel made pancakes and all of us got to taste a little.

A downside to this day is that some people fire crackers. This is a noise we do not like. It is not that anyone of us are afraid, but we cannot understand the point of making noise like this. A long time ago, crackers were used to scare evil daemons away, but who believe in daemons these days?
