Malmö

Here we are again, this time in Malmö, my lovely home town. It greeted us with great weather, 26 degrees Celsius and no wind. Summer! That changed yesterday. The sun is still here but the wind is back, the chilly wind we have here in the south. Summer was short this year... Just kidding, this was only the beginning, the real summer arrives later. Around July, hopefully... Until then we are prepared for everything - rain, hail, storm, snow...

That is, however, nothing compared to the weather in other parts of the world. Last week's news were filled with reports from Burma after the tornado. Tonight I saw the horrible and sad pictures from the area hit by the earthquake yesterday in China. I realize how lucky I have been growing up in a part of the world where the catastrophes are few. But who knows, with the climate changing it might happen here as well in a near future.

Well, back again to Malmö and our way back to tranquility. The trip back went well. 13,5 hours drive, not included breaks, Paris - Malmö via Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Denmark. Miss Sunshine had fever the whole way, and since it was her third day with fever we went straight to the doctor on arriving to Malmö. Of course she got better as soon as we entered the doors to the doctor...

The worse thing on the road are the lorries
which persist to overtake other lorries.
They block the whole traffic!!!
And for what?
Arriving one minute earlier than if they hadn't?!

Saturday night we went to V:s birthday's party. Lots of good wine, straight from France, and good food, and great company. Laughing, singing, dancing... Sunday was picnic day with really old friends. Real pros - they had chairs, tables, and parasols with them. We had blankets and sat in the shadow... We've got a lot to learn... ;-)

We tried archery Sunday.
That was fun. But difficult. Not my future sport.

Monsieur is leaving us on Thursday for 1,5 months. We have decided not to think about it. This will not make it easier on Thursday, but it makes it easier for the moment. Miss Sunshine is close to her dad's heels all the time. I think she knows that he's soon leaving. Children are not stupid, they sense things straight away. Well, well, 1,5 months pass quickly. And we always have Skype. It makes it a lot easier. But not easy.
