Today was going to be a r&r day, just a few chores and some shopping. It was also, in truth for the first time this summer, genuinely warm and sunny. We've had sunny days aplenty but they have always had an edgy cold breeze associated with them but today was more like the 'normal’ Baltic summer weather, warm and balmy.
We did our washing, I cleaned and put the bikes away (not just because of the sheet incident but also we’re now going to be in more saline conditions and they would rust very quickly if left on deck)
. We visited the cathedral, it was nothing special so I won’t include any photos (done enough churches etc!) and that is about it. Drinks at 18:00 with Andy and Pauline, a couple of Skype calls and then dinner. So endeth a boring day blog-wise but we enjoyed it!
Our First Summer Day!
