Much to my delight J(J) returned to Luleå last weekend, so we met on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and today to do acroyoga. So much fun! I have missed J, who has spent much of the summer with family. Sadly, tomorrow they will pick him up on their way to an adventure in Jokkmokk, and then I won't see J again for some unknown number of weeks. Shortly before he came back I saw a photo of an acroyoga pose that looked interesting and worth trying. So, of course, we had to try it, and since we can't see if we are doing what is in the photo, we filmed our pitiful attempts: once with me flying, and again with J flying. Since then we have gotten it much closer to working, but haven't gotten new videos up, so you can laugh at those, if you like.

This summer has zipped by rather quickly. When J(L) came back north for a summer job and moved in with me six weeks sounded like a nice long time, but it is already over, and J is heading back to Åland. It has been wonderful sharing my home with J--such good company, and really likes my cooking.

Now I have just over a month before E will arrive, if Migrationverket approves the visa application, which I really, really hope they do.

This is turning out to be a fantastic berry year. I haven't gone out for blueberries yet, but everyone who has has picked lots and shared photos. I thought about going to get blueberries today, but thought first I would check the åkerbär (arctic raspberry) that grow in the swampy forest at the bottom of our property. We have never had very many of them. The last couple of years we didn't get any. The first couple of years we were in this house I found only about 12 berries. Today, on the other hand, was a good year--I lost count after eating 40 of them! However, by that time I was no longer motivated to go looking for blueberries, so that can wait till tomorrow.
