Saturday, July 13

It was supposed to rain today but in fact it is bright sunlight and scorching heat. We are at the market and one of Irma’s regular customers is chatting. I have forgotten her name but she lives in Brussels and comes every summer, because they have a summer cottage in the archipelago.

In the afternoon we will go to the shop and fill up a can with water from Benita’s. Then we will do three loads of washing and go swimming.

Åke Anderson has given us a big bag of his special blue cheese fish steaks and we will eat them outside, with cauliflower and butter.
