Yes, it's actually a real heatwave that we have had now for a couple of weeks with temp. around 30C! We are not used to this and we actually, if we are lucky, have this kind of weather like one week a year.
It's said to stay at least this coming week as well.
I have a very hard time coping cause I don't like it this hot. My favourite temp. is around 20C up to max 25C. We don't have aircondition at home nor at my work so it's very very hot. We stay indoors the warmest hour of the day and try to be outside when it's cooling down at night.
I really haven't written for a while and I think that is because of our long light days. We are still having midnightsun in the north and our evenings even here in Stockholm are long and light. When I go to bed at 10.30-11PM it's still completely light although the sun just set at that time. And it gets up again around 4AM.
So I don't sit around the computer as much as in wintertime and that's why I haven't written and of course my new job takes a lot of time especially now in the beginning when I'm learning.
What have I been up to then since last? Well, work, work and work. And Midsummer of course. We went to our very good friends Inger and Krister. We were around 22 celebrating summer, eating, playing, having quizes in teams and of course drinking. A couple of musts we had: Herring, new potatoes, nubbe, strawberries.
Me and Helen also took Mother to a Midsummerlunch by the sea which was great. We sat outdoor practically on the water and we had a lovely meal. Mother had sirloin steak and also drank a glass of wine.
Mother appreciated it very much and so did we and Danniel who also came. This is a lovely photo of Mother and Helen.
I have also been on summerdinner with my job. A very nice evening where we started at work with a glass of wine and lottery (I didn't win anything) and then we took the bus to S:t Eriksplan where we went to an Italian restaurant which was very nice and good. 3-course meal and wine to accompany.
Now I only have this week to work and then vacation for 3 weeks. We are going to Scania on Sunday if everything goes as planned. Have a nice week and I talk to you soon (whenever I have a minute)
Oh, I forgot to tell you that H.E.A.T is looking for a new singer. Their singer, Kenny, has quit and they have on their website asked for people to send in a video of them singing 1000 miles. This has to be with them before July 15 and after that they will go through the applications and hopefully find a great singer to replace Kenny. They will perform at Gröna Lund on July 27 either with the new singer or a stand-in (something they have been forced to have the gigs before since Kenny quit although they had booked gigs.
I do hope he will have a happy life in England so he don't regret his choice. I wish all the guys in H.E.A.T the best of luck and hopefully they will come back stronger than ever!!!

As always many ended up in the pool :-)

Well it's nice to hear from you, I don't see you much in Facebook either. Must be awfully hot without AC, I wouldn't like it at all. Or the long long days (I like dark when I sleep).
SvaraRaderaEnjoy your 3 weeks vacations.
Miss you
