Summer is almost over

They say that when the heather blossoms, at least here in this region, it is the end of summer. However, the last week has been one of the best all summer and today is absolutely gorgeous, so it doesn't quite feel like it is the end yet. We might even go for a little swim later.


We have had lots of fun visitors but now the cottage is getting empty with only me and eldest daughter still here, and she is "in the zone" packing up for her departure tomorrow, so we are not speaking much. I have a few more days until I leave on Tuesday, well really my flight is on Wednesday but it is so darn early I will have to go and sleep in the airport since there is no way I can get to the airport from here for a 6 o'clock morning flight.

I found a website where they classified different airports from the point of view of having to spend a long time or even sleep there and I am hoping that Landvetter has a good rating.

Life here is pretty quiet so the only thing I can tell you is that I had a call from a friend who told me that another friend's husband had successfully saved his brother-in-law's life when he had a heart attack and there were only the two of them at home. The interesting thing is that my friend who called had recently "coached" me concerning this.  She says that the best rhythm is to do the heart massage to the rhythm of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. 

To finish off, here is a photo to say farewell to my hometown Gothenburg. It has become so big and different from when I was young,  but it has still in many ways remained the same.



Next time, if all goes well, I will write from Sydney. Until then, "Hej då"!
