I went into town today, to buy face mask 'filter'. It's a special kind of fabric made for face masks and it can be washed in 60 degrees. 
Then I went to a tea shop to use a gift card I got for my Birthday. It was no problem to use every last bit of it and I came home with three different kinds of teas, a marmalade and short bread. I asked the woman behind the counter about the amount of customers coming and she said it's a difference, but it's been so long like this now, so it's become the new normal. We talked about the vaccine situation and what's happened with Astra vaccine. Sweden still has a stop for Astra vaccine. I think people in charge want to be really certain before starting again. It was nice to have a little chatt. :)


Today my relative was buried in another part of Sweden and because of covid restrictions we couldn't attend the service. 
I lit a candle and read a poem I really like, to honor my relative. It's a beautiful poem so I thought I'd share it:

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die".

Mary E. Fry

The clouds were so beautiful in the afternoon that this had to be my blip for today.
