Friday, June 17

The sun has come out, the wind has run away, and we have driven to Sundö. We get there and wait for the ferry. I walk down to the water and photograph the sea lapping against the shore, trying to avoid the usual shot of the ferry arriving.

We will find the grass almost waist deep in the garden and set about mowing it, using the FXA mower we got from K-Rauta well beyond its alleged limits. It copes happily and in a couple of hours we will have most of the grass cut down to size.

Certainly we will find ourselves walking to the sauna house rather than wading. We will sit outside on the terrace until we want to eat and then decide that eating indoors would prove warmer.
