Welcome to Anna’s Diary

Tomorrow is strawberry day. Strawberry cake, strawberries with ice cream, strawberries with whipped cream etc. Summertime! I will see sweetie and cutie. And I will find out if Molly likes running. I know that she runs fast, but can she run a few kilometers? Wishing you a relaxing weekend. Take care!

This weekend is always a special weekend in Sweden since it is a celebration to summer. It is a unique year due to the Corona virus. Still a lot of precautions. I have decided though that I have to go to the countryside. A lot of people has died compared to other nordic countries, and later we will have clear answers to why. One reason is that we have not followed quarantine as strict as other countries. In one way I think that is good. We need healthy economics to stay healthy. On the other hand, we could be stricter following social distancing. But in Sweden we are not used to do what the government tells us. I believe we are different on that point compared to other Nordic countries.

When I grew up I always watched the Swedish military airforce doing their training. If I remember correctly, they always did their training like dogfights on Tuesdays. One of these planes crashed, but the pilot was saved in a parachute. Since it normally doesn’t happen much in the countryside, that was great news for years. Looking forward to see cutie and sweetie.

I had decided to write on Midsummer, but I could not wait. I am addicted to writing. Sunshine, flowers, easy dressing, in conclusion, life is facile summer time. I do not remember when I saw sweetie and cutie, but on Friday I will see them. This will be Molly´s first summer in the countryside. Lately, I have been walking in Stockholm. No mood for running. This weekend I will find out if Molly likes running. Sweetie prefers walks.

Not much photographing now. But it is interesting to watch people, because life is different due to social distancing. Sharing photos from the famous French photographer Doisneau. He knew how to catch glimpses in life. Doisneau worked in the French army during WWII as soldier and photographer. This is street- and café life in Paris decades ago. His most famous work.

Wishing you a happy Midsummer week. Soon darker evenings again.
