OMG Grim is such a happy camper with his new toy! And did I just see Grim walking in the kitchen voluntarily? Took him a while, good to see he doesn't think the floor will eat him anymore..! 😄

@Aubrey you need to contact your local hotline for abuse victims and relocate to a safe house. Nobody needs to tolerate abuse, especially in a relationship. You deserve better!

Hi Cecilia, I have just finished reading a book about Scandinavia. It said that scandinavian men often don't talk much but scandinavian women are very talkative so they make up for it. 😄 I can kind of see this with you guys! 😊😇

[@marieleelee]

Have you considered getting a portable washing machine for you work out gear? There are some that don't use that much water and you can hang dry your clothes afterwards. They also tend to be small so you can maybe store it away somewhere out of sight. I'm getting one soon because I live in an apartment that constantly has water shut offs lol🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@melissahdawn]

Such a neat idea (to record this ordinary day stuff)!!! I love to travel without needing to bundle up or get dressed even. I love to be "taken along" and all of the very useful information that to read about it a book would be far less entertaining. Thanks!

Try getting a large "KONG" toy----you can put food in it/place in freezer it will keep Grimmie occupied for hours so no loss of squeaky toy"arms and legs" (plus no risk of of needing bowel surgery to remove toy parts)!!❄💙❄💙

[@alanholck7995]

Heck - much of the year you could just put it outside on top of the grill (or someplace else he can’t reach).

[@ernstoud]

Yes! Our GSD has never destroyed a Kong toy.

[@brickerhaus]

I hate Kong. The only Kong toy that has lasted is that bell shape toy that you put food or treats into which I do really love. Every other Kong product does not hold up to a dog (Samoyed) that is a chewer. I have bought them all. And don't ever believe when it says Tough Fabric 😂. It's a lie. You want a something to chew on. Go spend the money on a large Antler (real).

[@annawessman4029]

Biting bones work too, as they clean their teeth and gums at the same time. Säg hej till Grim! :D

[@68hilaire]

I bought my dog a toy that was supposed to be tough. It was made out of firehouse. She had a hole in it in about 30 minutes. She destroys her toys to get the squeakers out. Then she walks around with the squeakers in her mouth, squeaking it

[@SharonCullenArt]

I like how the dog goes running across in the distance at about 14:00 then just disappears! Looks like he’s the invisible dog!

[@bobbiejay2085]

It appears you bought a Devil's Ivy. They're tough. Will give and give. Off cuts can be put in water and they will survive this way, and grow. The other one looks like a Peace Lily ... dark leaves do better in low light. They are air purifiers too. Suggest you purchase a moisture guage as over watering is the main culprit leading up to 'death by overcare'. Remember room heating dries the soil out more. Keep away from the wood fire. Suggest a slow release fertiliser (organic is best). If you come across a Snake Plant, another air cleaner, and indestructible. They're those upright architectural looking plants. Jade. Anything with thicker leaves are mostly human resistent. Enjoy 🌱

[@mamawinterborahae7629]

👏🏾 you literally just helped me with my plants, I don’t have a green thumb, but definitely taking your advice! My plant babies thank you 🌱 🪴🤗🤗

[@karinvilim365]

This may be an odd question, but what domestic animals are on Svalbard. I wonder what your vet does to keep busy. Dogs obviously, but cats? Rabbits? Chickens? I would imagine that there would be strict rules just in case of escapes and feral populations taking hold. And I always wondered about plants. Both inside and out. I know grow lights would be essential in winter. In summer are you allowed to grow vegetables in a green house. Some plants would produce like mad in the constant light and you could can or freeze your veggies for use in the winter. A pot with tomatoes or cucumbers on a sheltered spot on the deck. Just curious about this. Really enjoyed your day on video.

[@saranaslund5250]

I was going to ask the same thing!

[@alys4570]

They would have to be plants that thrive in 40° to 50° F weather or less , if I’m not mistaken in the summertime it doesn’t get much warmer than the upper 40’s sometimes 50s . Those are really good questions though.

[@istnuk1994]

It's illegal to bring any living bird or mammal to Svalbard, but there's exceptions for dogs with a permit, caged birds, small rodents and bunnies.

[@Lozicle]

Would love a video about this

[@finestkindmedicinal5967]

Celia mentioned before that cats arnt allowed on the island for the birds sake.

[@kathypoppitt1131]

I will be visiting Svalbard from Texas next July. It is so exciting to watch your videos in anticipation of the trip! I look forward to watching winter come on and then turn into summer again. Thanks so much!

[@lilyrose7082]

Perhaps you’ll meet miss Cecelia! She’s my favorite channel on utube!

[@zelgabunny8990]

I was going to say you're chicken to visit Svalbard during any other time of the year due to it being so cold, but then I remembered how hot it gets in Texas during summer and that will be a nice escape from it. I lived in Austin for 7 years. =) Hope you can experience everything it has to offer.

[@Bosse_C]

Did you visit? How was it?

[@melziep8680]

Loving your videos Cecilia! The farty crocodile was too cute - and I had to laugh at Grim taking him apart. Our dog takes out all the stuffing to get to the squeaky thing inside. No toys last 🤣 Another great video, thank you. PS: we bought fake plants for our kitchen as we can’t keep them alive - good luck with your real one 😊

[@sylvienguyen3361]

Having green plants, indoors, especially during dark winter days, is uplifting. Enjoyed seeing a glimpse of places in the village.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🧡🧡

[@lunakat2755]

Does anyone in Svalbard grow any of their own fruits or veggies inside of their homes? Would be a fun hobby! All you need is a little area and a grow light. Lettuce is especially easy indoors you could make a little side money doing that too 👍

[@Tigzy3]

Depends on the cost of electricity maybe? Guess its not that cheap

Not sure if anyone else recommended this already, you can purchase a manually operated washing machine. They’re really small and consume little water. And you can use that for your gym clothes, etc. ☺️

So nice to follow along and experience what a "normal" day in a place like Svalbard is like :D I was wondering where you and Christopher are from? You speak Swedish sometimes, so I guess you're from Sweden? What about Christopher?

I love seeing the town. I miss it so much. I came a few years ago to do an Arctic training expedition. Fell right in love with the place. I would love to come back. I’m a Canadian nurse living in the UK. I even wrote to the hospital in Longyearbyren asking if they ever need nurses. Just so worried they are going to build too much and ruin it. Thanks for you fab videos!

[@MyMerryMessyGermanLife]

I had no idea this place existed until your channel popped up in my feed! Wowzahs, Arctic living!

[@dianalewis8548]

I like these Cecilia. Just a day in your life. We get to see the town and shops. Your vet has everything. Grim got some cute toys which he destroyed🤣 Thanks again and happy Wednesday. Stay warm.

[@shellythom7248]

The vet has toys and everything! So adorable. Our vets only have specialty food and like beginner cat litter and stuff like that. And of course all veterinarian stuff medicine and what not. Then we have a pet hospital that has major stuff for surgery and specialty things. And not every vet takes small animals or large ones. That was a pain. My one cat has asthma her whole life so she has to go to the animal hospital a lot of the time. They are the only ones that have the plexiglass oxygen container for her. Poor girl.

[@greekchickie]

Christoffer's hat is EPIC! :) I feel like you need a small bridge to get over that last hill approaching to your car. haha! Love the plants ~ I talk to mine & they seem to thrive. (I know I'm weird.) And, they give good oxygen for my condo. :)

[@mindremote7]

lol - I thought you segued into the future to show us Grim with his new green toy then it was a commercial - enjoyed the surprise editing.

[@kasey1]

Thank you for sharing, this was fun. When you showed Grim's toy after only one hour, I cracked up! Just like my dogs.❤

[@EatMeatandHeal]

I love how you talk to Grim like he's a person. I do the same thing with my Henry. :) Those plants you got are pretty hardy, so they may be okay and just not grow very much. I know the pothos in my bathroom (with no window) doesn't grow as much and doesn't get as dark/green as the ones that get light. You guys have such a trek from the house to the car. I'm curious why you don't "pave" a driveway from the road to your cabin so you can park closer.

[@RosovaEva]

I guess it's forbidden because of the permafrost

[@amstergal]

I had been wondering about bikes as I couldn't recall seeing one. Now I know, at least one person has one! haha Do people bike outside the village too? I'm always thinking about polar bears!

Heyyyy!! You can get Royal Canine there!! We are in Colorado and our dogs eat Royal Canine. But now, for some unknown reason, we can't get that brand. It's been months and months but no Royal Canine to be found.

[@debbieporges7566]

Hey Cecilia, good choice in the indoor plants. They look quite hardy to me. very important not to overwater, particularly in Winter when they aren't growing. Put your finger in the pot to check if it needs water. if the soil is wet or damp leave it. Occasionally you can spray the leaves or wipe them with a little water to get the dust off to keep the leaves healthy. Oh and another thing- don't let water sit in the bottom of the outside(decorative) pot. Let it drain in the shower or sink before you put it back in the outside pot. Hope this helps :)

[@catherinerachel9874]

Absolutely love watching your vlogs and learning about your lifestyle there. I am a teacher from England and we’re covering the Arctic Circle this half term for the first time - we’re so excited! One question, you took your close to the laundry - is this what most people do? If so, are washing machines in houses just not a ‘thing’ there? Thank you! 🥰

[@mariacarrasco6394]

I am a teacher too.It IS very interesting you have considered talking your students about North Pole Life! A great idea indeed!

[@enpaaliteligpanda]

While I am not 100% certain about Svalbard in particular, launderettes are not a thing at all in Norway (some old apartment buildings might still have a common laundry in the basement, but they are few and far between). Cecilia's cabin does not have running water. I'm guessing that most houses in Longyearbyen have running water, but that there's enough cabins and cottages like Cecilia's to warrant a launderette in the village :)

[@seanelliott7504]

My spouse and I watch you faithfully and sometimes wish we were there. Alot of it reminds us of where we are now in Newfoundland. We did have a strange question though. We were wondering why is it that you do not have driveways to your home. We always see you walk to the road to get into your vehicle. Is this a personal option or does it have to do with the government?

[@roachtoasties]

Good video. I came back to your channel to see what's up. I'm unsure if I'll ever make it to Svalbard, but might make it to Norway once post-pandemic travel becomes easier, whenever that may be. I was going to travel to Norway two years ago, but had to cancel at the last minute because of a health issue. :/

[@akersjon278]

Hi guys, Svalbard seems to be a really cool place to live, and it's getting cooler by the day at this time of year...(dad joke). I should say that what you need in the steep slope at the car is a "landscaping staircase". You simply lay down two long 2x8 boards down the slope standing on their sides, connect them with 3 feet long boards across at approximately 2 feet apart (also standing on their sides) and then you fill the voids in between with rock and gravel (after you have made a 4 feet wide shallow "channel" without any big rocks where the boards go and with a somewhat even grade. And after you have filed the stairs on the inside also remember to back fill the channel along the outside to make it extra sturdy). If you buy pressure treated wood and build it so the snowplow doesn't reach the top stars, they should last you forever (more or less), and it's not a difficult/expensive stair type to build either, all you really need is a hand saw, a spirit level and a cordless drill with a bit that fits the long wood screws you use to connect the boards... 👍😁

[@donquixote1502]

It´s practical, easy to build and melt in good with the environment. The only problem might be the snow 🤔😂

[@athena12373]

They are not permitted to build on the tundra. There are strict rules about land there and they have maxed out the permitted space with the cabin extension.

Hi Cecilia! I'm going to Svalbard next July and of course reading and absorbing everything related with your corner of the world. Thanks for your posts, are very informative and fun! I have a question: is it true that it's customary to remove your shoes when entering into a shop, restaurant or hotel? If so, are those places providing with feet ware? (slippers?) or is everybody barefoot? Greetings from Argentina!

[@marjieblanc9129]

Philodendron (the plant one you took out) can deal with very low light. It really likes something climb on, and will happily clean your air. You can grow more from cuttings!
