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.
Went out for dinner yesterday, very nice outside and temperature at 23 until 11 p.m.
Will go down from tomorrow on though..

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! Hey...A DIFFERENT WORLD!!: 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! And 'roundabouts R not for the faint of heart'! I'm preparing a few bumper stickers for my rental cars XTREME CAUTION: OLD YANK DRIVER!

^ seems to be a dimmed lamp with a charging socket for electric vehicles (?)
Or a modern water hydrant, swedish style?
A camouflaged periscope?

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!

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.
