I must really learn to book the Friday after the 21st of June as a day of leave!
Then I could be sitting on the beautiful Swedish island of Källö-Knippla with my friend Henrik enjoying the traditional Midsommar celebrations instead of sweltering here in Brussels. I mean - this weather... I'm thinking about writing a stern letter!
If you ever get the chance to celebrate the summer solstice ā la suédoise, do it! I get misty-eyed just thinking of all the herring, new potatoes, strawberries and cream (and of course not forgetting the beer and aquavit), all eaten and drunk out in the open air, while singing a few traditional snaps songs before a hearty dance around the maypole.
*Sigh*. Maybe next year!
