We had a lazy start to the day, and ate breakfast outside in the garden for the first time this summer. We talked about Auo, who we are both missing a lot.

In the morning I did some re-writing while Irma went for a swim, cut down some branches and mowed the lawn, until the lawnmower stopped mysteriously and refused to go again. Now, after moving the branches, I am having my first cherry of the summer. It is not very sweet but it is edible. The cherries are flourishing this year, for the first time ever. In a few moments I will attempt to dig out the trench to let the water from the sauna house leave the area, and then I will go for a swim.
