He was back yesterday morning, the guy on the roof. Seems to be a Saturday morning work crew. Same story this time, including giving me a stomachache. Hopefully, I’ll never get comfortable with watching things like this. There was a slight safety improvement compared to last week though. His mate on the roof was wearing a harness. It wasn’t tied in to anything, but perhaps he gets the same kind of security feeling we all got when learning to ride our bicycles. When we thought dad was still holding on, keeping our balance, but when he in fact was standing 
at the starting point with his arms crossed watching us being just fine on the bike. I don’t want to think about what will happen to the harness mate on the roof when he realises that no-one is holding on to his bike anymore though.
If you lie on a beach and put your ear against the sand (preferably with a towel in between), close your eyes and listen to the people walking past. Then you’ll hear that the sound is almost like the wonderful sound you get on a really cold, dark and beautiful night when walking on a snow packed road with the stars glistering above you. Not quite the same sound, but almost. And close enough for me to drift away for a second and pretend I’m at home with all this snow around me. Can anyone please make an extra snow angel for me back home? Tried in the sand, but the waves kept washing it away.
For those of you who have near and dear ones, who you usually chat with using a web cam; I was part of an interesting experiment today, which might be of your interest. It has now been empirically confirmed that you can fit the whole family in front of the web cam, even with close-ups. And whatever you do, don’t forget to bring the cat into the picture as well. The pets are easily forgotten when it comes to internet communication, but I’m very sure they appreciate it just as much as we humans do.
Förlåt mamma och pappa, men kunde inte låt bli…det var dagens bästa skratt, men skönt att se att MissAnn är sig lik.
First dip in the ocean today by the way, very nice, very warm, very big waves.
Update 22/12 - Tack Jesper!
