Heat has landed
on the island. We had +26 C today. So everyone is happy, happy, happy.
Yesterday after Inka and Yaffa had left, Rose, Hanna and I drove to Westers Garden
to see
flowers and herbs, and the art exhibition arSboretum 14, featuring fairy-tale
art in an old barn and in the garden. Fabulous! Hanna, 12, said she wanted to
buy the whole place. Me, too.
And I
liked the pieces of art, particularly as Eeva-Leena Eklund’s
large paintings. As we didn’t have the needed cash (or credit), we just admired
them.
Today, JD’s
old uncle Matt, 84, and his wife visited us. They hadn’t seen our long dining
table on the patio, and he said: “I didn’t know that you have opened a restaurant
here!” Well, he wasn’t so wrong about it. This is a pop-up restaurant, open for
family only. It was nice to meet them and have four generations at the table.
As the day was
hot, I made a large bowl of salad with buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and
olive oil for lunch. Hank grilled some sausages for the kids (and all adults
ate them, too).
Today it was Rose and Rob who had to return to Helsinki, and the
number of people at the dinner table was again down to 10. Late in the evening
we’ll grill tiger shrimps.
