All the single ladies: Put your hands up!
We are currently moving into the time of year where our email has begun to fill up with cheesy advertisement of gifts for him or her, simultaneously as all shops are filled with heart formed chocolate, roses and fluffy teddy bears.

How to be a Swede (if you‘re not)
