I can "panic" summer-time living in the middle of the city without a garden i.e. when it is hot outside. Not only for me, but also for Manuel.

Well, since Manuel has been "dropping one garment at the time" during the spring and summer he is now at his last "piece of underwear" - which means he can go swimming without a problem.

His coat is thin and dries quickly without any fungus problems (as it can be with a thick coarse coat). So we have been to Järavallen many mornings, taking walks around the small lakes and going for nice baths.

We had planned going on a ferry with Manuel, but luckily (he thought) it did not happen. He hated our "safety preparations".

As Mikael was away from home for a week I let Manuel use the sofa (the few seconds he could stay without being too warm).

When Mikael was back home again with us we had some nice excursions i.e. to Österlen (a very nice area of Skåne) where they grow a lot of apples and where many painters and other artist live. We also invited ourselves to our friends house (by the sea) for some evenings on the terrace and in the garden.
