One Midsommar is gone yet and some traditions were respected: rain and people singing. M came to Linköping on thursday evening, which felt like a friday and on the next morning, we took the train to Stockholm. Our final destination for the week end was Grinda, an island in the archipelago of Stockholm. We had kind of a big luggage since you never know how it will be. This island seemed civilized though, so it was most, well sun or rain? A dummy in the train made us sweat then, we had a boat to catch and it was kind of a race to come to the point on time. But we were not alone, kind of half Stockholm wanted to take the same boat. We made as if we did not know how a queue system works and we found delicious places on the boat.

When the trip was paid and we were cosy installed, M decided to go and find us a drink. This lovely man came back with a bottle of champagne and my heart was beating so hard for him. You may think i am like a teenager falling in love for the first time. I can tell you i am worse. I am totally overfloaded with lukcy feelings and even if it sounds unmature, every time i meet M, i feel like i want to scream to the whle world how much i love him. So, now you know that too!

 

We arrive on Grinda and met our 15 friends there, very internationel, with people from Austria, Germany, Italy, Schweiz and France of course. The sun was shining, the lunch was fantastically fixed by some people from our group and the stång was raised. Lovely!

M and I did go to the restaurant to finish this day and admire the sunset over the mini harbor and the sea. We were disturbed by a dummy headache, but the memories are wonderful though.

We spent a loooong night in the cabin, with a lots of other people too, that did not had head problems and saw both sunset and rise on the beach down from the cabins. We went there the day after but we just met the rain and some boats, crying to get some wind.

We took a long walk on the island, and went for a nap too. What happened on the saturday evening is censured on here, but Mum, don't be afraid. Today, the sun showed his face again and we left the island around noon.

Back in Stockholm, we met some familly and we took back the train south in the evening. I was feeling really dirty until i came home and took my shower. The island under the rain let some visible marks on the shoes, and the jeans and we are happy for that, the washmachine needs some work too! The thing we are not that happy about are the ticks that follow with me home.

 

This is more and more difficult for me to begin weeks that have so much days during which i can't be with M. Like this one beginning tomorrow. Addicted can you say. So the song of the day is for you M: you make me happy and ich kenne nichts dass so schön ist wie du!

I am .... Yes you got it!! Sitting in the train and this time for the whole afternoon. I spent 2 nights and 2 days in Borlänge for work and it was nice to meet new colleagues, even if it made me feel old in the company. I arrived on Monday evening, met a sad parking machine, see picture above and a hotel room with 2 beds. Hard choice to make!! We began the formation at 11 on Tuesday so I went to the hotel gym and ran 10 km. it was almost a tropical climate in there and these 10 kilometers were horrible ad slow. So yesterday formation and we went all together out to eat dinner. I shouldn't complain but me who don't like Asian food, I was served: Asian buffe. And then football game between Sweden and France and France lost. So I just had to swallow my pride and admit that the swedes plaid better. It seemed as the frenchs needed to save power in a way and they were not running that much. Anyway, France goes on in the tournament and Sweden doesn't. Tomorrow, work in Linköping and a lots of small things to fix for midsummer. I need to run too and M comes during the evening. It's kind of a program we have, even if I am really sceptical about the organization. I just have to admit that everyone is not project manager and adapt. Not my best quality I tell you! Thank you J for fixing a lot for us! I hope the weather will be nice because it rained almost every midsummer dice I moved to Sweden. Now we will be like on a little paradise, ao I want sun! And warmth! Ok?!?! Ok, a little sleep before I change train for the first time of the journey! Yo!

I am sitting in the sun, outside the station in Alvesta and I am listening to the football game between France and Ukraine. This is quite lovely actually. I like these summer evening, even if it's not very warm but the light is wonderful and there is only Scandinavia for this. Football via radio is stressing, specially when they almost shoot a goal!

This is difficult to get clothed in the best way. In the sun, it's warm, like 16 degrees but as soon as you stand in the shadow, you freeze. Life is hard for me... Not. Friday. Book. Promise of lovely company, I do not want anything more! Good week end!

New bed sheets on, isn't it summer here don't you think? I had to test it right away and I took a sleep before to have an evening composed of packing, washing the dishes and being social later.

This is the time google map estimates to walk the 239km that are between me and my M. I can't complain, I am mostly happy but I would could give a lot to make these 239km become max 10 m every night and less during the nights. I would be able to live with bad hair days every single day if M would play guitar every evening while I am falling asleep. I would give up with telling bad jokes if the first thing I would feel in the morning would be his skin. I would tolerate people to laugh at me while calling him at the supermarket asking if he wants salmon or chicken. I would let young arrogant girls telling me I'm naiv when I would go home earlier from a party to get a hug from him. I would have an Asian cat winking hello to everyone if I could brush my teeth together with him in the morning. I would give up a lot just to feel closer to the one that makes me feel alive and loved.

First match of France and Sweden in the em 2012. First match I watch since like an eternity or so. I am pretty impressed by the physical qualities of the players. They are able to run dring hours, change directions quickly and jump. Hat off!

It had been a really rainy week end. Like hell down in form of water every day and when you wanted it the less. What could we do against it? Well not much. My darling M arrived Friday evening and I couldn't care less of rain since he is my sunshine. We had kind of a lazy but cultural week end, went to the museum, read books and talked a lot. I realized that when I am pleased with my company, I am a bad friend since i don't need as much contact with other people. Somehow it is as if my whole world would rotate around M and I am happy of that, he makes of me the happiest woman in the world! It was also vacation planning this week end, and the good thing is: there will be no plan at all! So deal with it! :) For today, I want the rain to stop!

I came home quite early from work, i was totally tired. First reason: friday and second reason: i was out at 6 this morning and ran 8 km in the morning sun. The mood was good even if each leg of mine had to carry 10 tons. I can't go over this feeling of bad prestations. 

 

My day at work was very interesting, a lots of difficult but interesting questions and long and constructiv discussions with colleagues. This new jobb is really challenging me and i like it.

 

I ate lunch with my friend H and she looked really lovely. The students were celebrating the end of school, which is something different here from how we do in France. Here in Linköping, i meet some students at 6 this morning, well dressed, going to their champagne breakfast i the Trädgårdsföreningen (a big park). They drive around then in trucks and sing and dance and are all happy to quit school. Both girls and boys are well dressed and when the day goes on, they are all happier, maybe because of the breakfast? Exempel:

 

 

I can't really remember when i left high school. it was in 1999, in other words, it was not yesterday. I even have some difficulties to remember who were in my class this year. I just remember that we wrote these exams and it was really important to get good grades: depending on the results, we would be able to go in this or this school after. Even if we went to disco ( a little bottle of the night around the corner, called "le sirocco") and even if i found a boyfriend this evening, it was a pretty trist summer. We all got dispatched in France, fr summerwork or study, so i dunno, i forgot the most of it somehow. One thing is sure, i was not afraid of the future. I did not know how it would turn, i just knew i would become an influent woman. I knew i had to go throught this "elit" kind of school and that i could decide later what i wanted to be. Even now it seems that most of the possibilities are there, even if where i am happy to be where i am right now.

 

Anyway, stop this nostalgi.

 

I watch a documentary tonight, and this was beautiful: Bombay beach. I recommend it strongly, it was both poetic and beautiful.

 

And now, there is one hour left. One hour left until i meet M at the station. These last hours are always the longer. I always feel millions of butterflies flying in my stomach. Oh, can't wait!!

today was a very sunny and special day. First of all, i woke up with the feeling that a bulldozer drove over my body the whole night. True? not. It was just the memory of my run of yesterday night. I am not that fit, i tell you! So i tried to get up (took its little time) and i prepared myself to go to the city hall: i was invited there to celebrate the fact that i became a swede last october. So hop hop hop, on my bycicle and direction the city hall.

We were about 50-70 people invited and we were served a little drink. We were waiting for the celebration to beginn as i saw my friend P and his wife E and their little sweetie A coming in the room. Oh what for a surprise!! They came specially for me! I was so touched, i was just expecting to spend this moment alone, get my gift and go home after that, but no,  people has decided to spend this moment with me. I cried some tears (and btw, E too and she said it was ok, so it was!).

 

We entered the main room from the city hall and after a litlle talk from the major, they called each of us, new swedes, to the stage to get a gift. It was an honour the shake hands with her and with the county director or i don't know how she is called.

 

After that, the 4 of us went downtown for a drink and a lunch in the sun. Mervellous!

After the lunch we took the direction of Valla where the municipality had planned the celebration of the swedish national day. It was a looooot of people there in the sun enjoying music and company. We made it weel with the first strawberries of the year and when the music stopped, i took my bycicle ride home and was very happy of this surprise and also very tired of the sun.

You, readers from south europa, you cannot imagine how important the sun is for the head. And how some degreesare making it easier to live!

 

So now, i am off to bed after a good day! once again, thanks P and E for this day!! :)
