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?
