SvenskaI got the question today why we celebrate Valborg. “It must be something religious”, I said without thinking, “but I don’t know what”. I explained what Valborg and May means to me. It is a celebration to spring and arriving summer. Winter has passed and a lot of twigs and leaves need to be taken care of by having a fire in the evening of the 30th of April. Every year. With a lot of choir music by the fire. I liked those evenings and I remember that the dogs got very scared when the evening ended with fireworks. When I lived in Norway Sankthans was similar to our Valborg. But that was at midsummer. Different countries and different traditions.
Covid-19 is getting closer. A lot of people are affected. My true heroes these times are those working in food stores. Helping me to put food on the table. I read that the Corona virus outbreak emerged from a food market in Wuhan in China 🇨🇳. If this is true or fake news, I don’t know. One thing that is true is that the Corona virus is putting weight on us since we do not exercise as usually. I got muscle pain from my last run, and tomorrow will be a challenge. Eight kilometers to go. “Tjejmilen” in August.
