Today in Sandnes, the sun sets at 10:52 PM, but it is dusk until civil twilight ends at 12:17 AM! The dawn’s twilight starts at 2:59 AM with sunrise at 4:24 AM. This means only 2 hours and 42 minutes of darkness. While I have an opaque shade, enough light sneaks through the edges to keep an eye mask handy. This is what happens at 58 degrees and 51 minutes north (Bellevue, WA is 47 degrees and 36 minutes north; but I can look forward to a similar midsommer in Uppsala, Sweden, at 59 degrees and 52 minutes north). Midsommer is a public holiday in Sweden!
I didn’t get any hikers to go with me to Dalsnuten, so I cleaned the house and did laundry instead.
I did need to get some groceries and what I needed was at the grocery store down town. On my way home, I walked past the harbor to get you some photos.
I never thought I would see a cherry red 57 Chevy in Sandnes!
The harbor has a great view. I can see a bit of the water from my bedroom window, but the view up the fjord is beautiful.
There is an old wooden boat named Sandnes docked in the harbor.
In the evening, got through another episode of Welcome to Sweden, but I’m not sure I’ll continue. It is a lesson of intercultural incompetency, which makes for some humor, but I find it a bit unsettling, if not disturbing. So, I then checked out an episode of Poirot. Unfortunately, murder mysteries are less disturbing.
With blessings,
Beth
Do you know I have the entire filmed works of POIROT? I could loan them to you for your next year’s mental health breaks!
