One of The Boy's Toys

We're supposed to be fixing the roof,

not tinkering with toys!

But then again where would we be without them:)

25 years and the Transit of Venus

On the 6th June 1987 we met for the first time. 25 years later we celebrated by getting up at 2am and heading out for the closest highest point with clear views to watch the rising of the sun and the Transit of Venus. Between 3am and 4am the cloud covering was too thick to see the sun clearly, but between 4am and 6am we watched Venus passing in front of the sun. Then it was home for a Champagne breakfast and a restful day together thanks to the Swedish government who turned the 6th June into a national holiday in 2005, Sveriges nationaldag.

Happy 26th Birthday Pa!
