A week passes so rapidly, and it has been so good just to have a few days off. To do the little things in life that I say “I will do that next week when I have time”. I did the third Hepatitis B vaccination.  It is good to have protection against, a rather severe, chronic infection that affects the liver.

Even though it is several months ago, I still had a few memories left from my vacation in Sri Lanka, so now they are nicely put in a box for future. That is why I didn´t feel like going anywhere this week. Still had beautiful Sri Lanka memories in my mind.

So, I chose to stay in Stockholm. To do the little things in life. And also to enjoy the lovely city of Stockholm. Water is very present in central town and I like that a lot. I have always liked water. Previously, I wrote that it is probably because I connect that to liberty. When I was in Gothenburg I got to learn the archipelago there very closely. And I miss it a lot. The salty water. So fresh. To watch the horizon and all the ships going to all over the world.

To remember and refresh my memories I went for a trip to Waxholm yesterday. The return from Waxholm to Stockholm was very beautiful. It reminded me a lot of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, but smaller lime stones. It is so nice that the light now is present in the evenings, the temperature was perfect, even though a little chilly. Sharing a few photos. Feels like the first taste of summer is very tempting.

A few words about the beautiful weather that finally has arrived. A week passes rapidly and I am alternating between doing little, necessary things, and relaxation. I am lucky, I must say. It is like summer in Stockholm. So, yesterday I went for an excursion in Stockholm. Since I am grown up in the countryside, there is always some sort of longing for nature when the weather is fine. And, even though Stockholm is a big city, there are green areas in center town.

I don´t know why, but I like water a lot. I like to watch boats passing by on the sea. Probably because there is some kind of liberty I connect with water. When I go bathing I just love to dive. The sentence of freedom. But, I did not do that yesterday. I just watched the boats and happy people on holiday.

Yesterday there was a big football game at Friends Arena in Stockholm and there were happy supporters from England and Scotland going to the game. I usually don’t watch football very often, but yesterday I did. I was so glad to see that Manchester United qualified for Champions League after being in European League.

Sharing a few photos from yesterday.

This week I have dedicated to relax, collect energy, and also to do little things that I never have time to do. Like yesterday, to upgrade to Sierra on my computer. That took hours. Computers are very complicated, but unfortunatly, unbearable in life today.

I am facinated by iCloud. To just talk about a cloud that has all my photos and information that I carry is facinating. My photos are in space somewhere. Clouds really are impressive. Both real clouds and cyberspace clouds.

A new terror attack has occured. This time in Manchester. The terrorists threat levels are increased. Their aim is to spread fear, according to me. How can this be prevented? To continue to live as usual, is my answer. And also hope that the security is increased at concerts, sports arenas and so on. The whole world has to stand together when these attacks occur because Manchester is in mourning.

To find energy in daily life is important. I find energy in exercise. Soon is Stockholm Marathon, but I will not participate this year. I ran a lot last year. This year I go for cycling. To save my knees and also the need for a change. Physiology during exercise is interesting. Right now I have reached some sort of level where I don´t improve. My body has responded and needs a different way of training. So I got some advice. To go faster and not so much pressure. To increase my pulse. Will see if there will be any improvements.

Below is a flower from last vacation at a tea plantation in Sri Lanka. So beautiful, and it gives me energy. Is it true that you can make tea from Hibiscus?
