I devote my sparetime to reading and writing. Today I visited “bokbordet” for the first time with a colleague of mine. Bokbordet is a very good idea. You rent a table and sell books. We were lucky since there was no rain. Just an afternoon for strolling around the streets. A lot of people had had the same idea. Busy streets.

It was my first time to Norra Latin, an old school but today used for conferences etc. There was a guided tour and we saw some paintings made by Bruno Liljefors, Prins Eugen and Carl Larsson. Some were directly painted on the walls that had taken years, very time-consuming. It is always beautiful and it also tempts my fantasy when I see paintings because there is often a fascinating history behind. I like to watch paintings since they may change the more you watch. Perhaps you can woven your own fantasy into the story of the painting.

Sharing some photos from today. Bokbordet, norra latin and a woman performing theatre, Strindberg (en dåres försvarstal).

Next week everything will return to usual habits. It is still warm but there is a feeling of autumn approaching. It has been so warm so I am almost happy that it will be a little chillier. It hasn’t been this warm in several centuries, I heard. Some rain has, however, changed the lawns greener. The grass is no longer dry.

I haven’t been writing so much since I need to read some to reflect on what I have written. I read books from a different angle now. It has taken many years to find my own style of writing, so therefore, it is interesting to read other authors.

Previously, I have told you that I have stayed a year in France where my interest in languages appeared. When I returned to Sweden I read this book by Simone de Beauvoir. That was decades ago so I will read it again now. Don’t remember much. I stayed with a French family and the mother was called Simone.

Every day I see this creative art below on the walls in the subway, so daily I think of Simone de Beauvoir. Re-reading this book will be interesting since I have more life experiences. Maybe, I will read some of Sartre. They had a life long relationship.
