It really is summertime. Calm. I feel a bit relieved since I will soon send my writing for printing. Seven years of work. I haven’t really thought about it but I am very happy that I can use my own photographs for illustrations. Need to develop my photographing technique and also to find inspiration.

I have thought some about political development. Right now NATO is having meeting in Brussels. That is good, wish I would know more about what they talk about. News are quiet. NATO is becoming more like the UN, and that is good development. They should set goals for year 2100, what will the world look like at that time point? NATO is contributing to stability in the world and they really can affect the development of society a lot.

Weather is perfect. I cannot believe that a few months ago I was skiing. Flowers, butterflies and deers jumping in the green fields. I have some muscle pain right now since I have been on training. Fresh to run in the mornings. Not so warm. Yesterday a little rain but that was good since I was warm.

Good news! My little sweetie is in very good shape right now. No pain in her paws and I think she has lost a kilo. So, she is happy to be able to go for walks again.

D-day. I follow the news and today I heard that international rescue teams have started to help the Thai boys trapped in the cave. It is terrible. It is like the Russian Kursk submarine disaster, the submarine that sank north of Norway a few decades ago. My very best thoughts to families involved.

Yes, I am back to work and no vacation. I had a great semester that passed very rapidly. Weather was nice so I cannot complain. My goal was to run every day to get that exercise that I don’t normally have time to. It is so wonderful to go training.

As usual it is calm during summer. Whenever I turn on the radio or the tv there is talks about politics since it is election in Sweden in September. Nothing new. No new politics. Where is the political development?

I was sad last weekend when I heard that Professor Arvid Carlsson has passed away. He has invented a lot within pharmacology that has been translated into daily treatment of patients. I still see his presentations on youtube sometimes to remind myself of pharmacology.

This weekend I will see my little sweetie and I am very happy about that. Wishing you a nice weekend.

We are right now in the middle of summer in Sweden. Flowers and other greenery. My life consists very much of writing and exercise. I am running every day and that is like yoga. Some kind of meditation. I think I am addicted to sports.

My little sweetie has had pain in her paws. Paw bath every evening. My parents like to give her sweets so she has gained two kilos. She is now on a diet. No more goodies! But, I understand my parents, her begging is irresistible. She knows how to get what she wants.

It is soon Midsummer. It looks like it is going to be a classical midsummer. I see SMHI (weather forecast), which is rather precise, and they predict a cloudy and little chilly midsummer. Fortunately no rain!

I wish you a happy midsummer and I share a memory from this summer. A summer in the spirit of sport and wellness.

My vacation is, as I wrote previously, devoted to training every day. I run and enjoy it a lot. Sometimes I see birds, deers, and yesterday, I saw a beautiful butterfly. Almost every day I meet running horses. I don’t run fast but I hope I will improve. To stay in shape. My little sweetie has had pain in her paws but she is now on strict regime for medical treatment and she is getting better. Now she can enjoy walks again. To find some running motivation I share this Lady stardust song with Lisa Minowsky.

Right now, it is like southern France, La Provence. There has been no rain during May and it continues. This has led to fire in the forest closeby. It is like the film “Jean de Florette”. Where is the water? However, right now, there is thunder outdoors. Little rain. Birds are singing. Bought three bird houses today. They need to be taken care of.

It is nice to have a few days off. I go for training every day in the mornings. To warm later. My little sweetie has an appointment at the veterinary clinic. Til then, she has to rest. She gives you the very best summer greetings on the photo above.
