After nearly two months in Ängelholm, I am finally sitting in the garden on a reclining chair, my favourite toy (Toshiba) on my lap. The afternoon sun is doing it's best from a clear blue sky with feathery airline tracks. Hopefully the last figs in the greenhouse will ripen this week, after some weeks of cold and rain. The ajíes/chilis dont mind either weather, it seems.
After spending last week in Hamburg, saying goodbye to my favourite expats-to-be, and in Bremen, watching probably the only two rugby games I will get to see what with Sweden's lack of interest in the Rugby WC...unfortunately, athletism is rated higher here, with the indirect effect this may or may not have on the number of anorectic cases in the sports elite...hmm
As I have gathered from the surprised questions of friends and family, people are expecting that I move to France this autumn, T'is not so. Michael is still in Lima, struggling with zooplankton algoritms and whatnot. I applied to go through the lengthy procedure of examination for translators aspiring to work in-house for the EU, and the first exams will probably take place in October. My environmental conscience and (existing, although deeply buried) sense of economy will not allow me to commute Peru-Sweden, which is why I'll stay for another 45 days or so in Sweden. The advantage of this, is that I'll have the chance to take care of my newly established company - I got my VAT number on Monday. Oh the joys of accounts and declarations!
