The light, the light!

It's really nice now in the evenings, bright and sunny. Lots of birds chirping into the night and not giving up the concert until wee hours, and then resuming the sing contest just before dawn. In four weeks time summer solstice will be here. Till then the evening will just be brighter and lighter.

A special midsummer evening

As the beloved government of the peace loving People´s Democratic Monarcy have given its subjects a new Midsummer day to celebrate (some years ago and not on the actual summer solstice...) it was duly hailed yesterday by me and my family. On the sofa my brother can be seen sleeping all food off. Never counted all courses but it was a table set for the former king of France, Louis XIV (the Sun king himself) and not little people like us. Plate after plate was finished and so were we... One set of stripes is a cushion, the other set is my dad by the way.
