In Sweden this is a huge cause for celebration and many are off work, and we prefer to be outdoors. But today it's raining all over the country so we are going to have to improvise. Happy Midsummer's Day to all!

    Well, Happy Midsummer's Day to you, too! Sounds like an interesting holiday to have. We had rain yesterday, a nice summer shower that was most welcome as it was the first rain in about 6 weeks (very unusual for our spring). Today is sunny again, but coolish; the high will only be about 16oC.

    ^^Oh, it is. We eat pickled herring and salmon and drink schnapps and sing silly songs. Some dance around the "majstång" too, "spring pole" that is. It's a good opportunity to celebrate summer in the company of near and dear ones.

    Happy Midsummer to you all :)
    It's really terrible weather over here, my kids didn't want to join the dancing, we bought some lotteries and took a walk in the rain, it was nice.

    Always with the pickled herrings! (My sister-in-law is Swedish) Happy Midsummer to you :)

    A more elegant and logical version of a Fahrenheit.

    Such a bizarre film. I remember being kind of pissed off at it when it was over.

    ”The fuck was that?”
