Sunday.


Above snapshot is of a typical north Swedish country scene, taken a couple of days ago. This morning Ann and I took the girls out to a local park, where there is a small coffee house, and we had coffee and cakes outside, the girls then ajourned to the play area ( swings, roundabout, etc.) , whilst we lingered over our refills of coffee. Ruth and Lasse had taken a couple of young neighbours/ friends, to teach them fishing, and we walked along the lake to meet them. When we joined them they were still (rather grimly) casting out into the lake, getting the very occasional nibble, but not much else. Back to the flat about two p.m. Hope the lack of success doesn't put the two young neighbours (brothers) off fishing. One looked a bit cheesed off, the other wanted to keep right on trying. Warned him that it was addictive, and he might get hooked on it- rather to my surprise he saw the dreadful pun and laughed heartily. Lunch now. More later perhaps.

Hey Mike! Yesterday I posted a photo of our house painted in the traditional Swedish colors. How long will you be in Sweden? Please give our best to your family. Please tell Strawberry that Ariana is now in Croatia for a month.

Hi Lori. That's quite a coincidence! Aren't the two houses alike? I've given your message to the family, and Ruth told me of how, after her class had written to Ariana, that Ariana relied to ALL of them. Ruth was very impressed (as I am) by Ariana's blog. We all send our regards to you and yours.
Warm regards, Mike and Ann.
P.s. We'll soon be home now.

That ladder on the roof puts me in mind of something long ago...
Dashed good times they were too!

Hi Carl. They most of them have a ladder as means of access to the roof and chimney. I had a good look at Ruth's chimney that you rebuilt, and it still looks pretty good to me.
