Min längsta semester på många år…

(…och vår längsta biltur hitintills)

Varning; denna text kan vara tråkig om du inte känner oss och är nyfiken på vad vi gjort på semestern

I måndags kväll kom vi hem från min och Judits semester. Eftersom jag hade en hel del semester sparat så bestämde jag mig för att ta 5 sammanhängande veckor,

Vacation-time

Has begun for real now. The weekend didn’t feel like vacation, since that happens every week, but today would normally have been a workday. Instead I have been dropping stuff off at the garbage-dump, visiting my sister and going to town with J for lunch at a diner. Feels good! A few more days,
