Last Saturday my father and his girlfriend came to visit. It was time to get the birthday present I was promised back in April. We went out north on a road trip in their motor home. The destination was not revealed. The first stop was a very old and renowned inn, made famous through a 1930s movie. Remarkably, I had never been there before. We had lunch there. The portions were large and the quality of the food was high. After this we drove south through a large forested nature preserve, where the highest point in Skåne is. It's not really something to boast about, it's 212 meters high. When we were almost out of the forest there was a fallen tree blocking the road. After a detour we continued south again and arrived at a very odd café. It's out in the middle of nowhere, housed in a villa, where the interiors were in the 1950s style. The cakes were homebaked and very tasty. After this we returned to my place. The road trip was a very nice present, I must say. The next day my vistors left, after having spent the night in the motor home.
This Tuesday I met the new library boss in the lunchroom. He said he had heard of me and it was worrying to learn that my colleagues had told him that I know everything. It's hard to live up to such a reputation. The boss seems to be a very nice guy, who already now understands the challenging task of finding space for the enormous amounts of books that arrive here every day.
The weather is changing to a more cool and rainy kind. It's slowly getting darker also. I have exchanged the flowers in the balcony box to heather. My mother and her boyfriend are back in Borås for the winter.
