Hannover has been at least 35°C this afternoon, and dry as a desert. Here it is 38 in the shadows, and more than 40 in the sun. :dead:
Went out for dinner yesterday, very nice outside and temperature at 23 until 11 p.m.
Will go down from tomorrow on though..

Now it's turned chilly ans damp, raining in a subtle Swedish way. I bet the sun is still shining in Texas...:-?

At 2:45AM?
What kind of a weird place is this Texas!?

:doh:

When I first got to Stockholm in early July, the sun set at 23:30 and was back up at 01:15... true story.

Well I'm relieved to hear that! It is a young man's game (under 45 imho) and the corporeal constant wear n' tear just sneaks up on ya'. We need u on the 'helm' of:subsim:! Hey...A DIFFERENT WORLD!!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMT98U_iilY I'll B putting my poor 150-mi. a-day patrol-driver skill 'to it' shortly as I'm returning to Scotland and will have to reverse engineer my defenses for the left side of the road...and the right side driver seat! More Aricept please!:O: And 'roundabouts R not for the faint of heart'! I'm preparing a few bumper stickers for my rental cars:D XTREME CAUTION: OLD YANK DRIVER!

Or a modern water hydrant, swedish style?
A camouflaged periscope? :hmmm: :D

Ahh sounds like one of those cool, chilly afternoons in Spain. Right now we are 42+ here :wah::shifty:

Been invited to eat 'Surströmming' yet? If someone asks, just politely say no! (and find ANY excuse to avoid the occasion!)

You'll thank me later, if you are within 100 meters of an ongoing 'Surstömming' party, and your nose still works!

Haha, ok, thanks for the advice.

Exciting seeing pictures from your stay in Sweden :)

Based on your experience, which is better?

Norwegian aquavitt (akevitt), Danish or Swedish? I believe they are made differently depending on the country of origin.
