Sunday, I went to Alnö again. This time we were Basti, Inga, Phil, Ulrich and me joining Ulrike, Lars-Peter and Petter. Thanks to Basti and Inga who gave us a lift in their car. We have been to the beach next to Tranviken which we have been at the day before. But the second beach is not as nice as Tranviken. The sand is not as soft, you have a lot of insects there and small black sandstones stick later all over your skin.
After sunbathing Petter invited us to his brother who leaves in a house on the seaside of the mountain next to the beach. The view is incredible and the house is still under construction but you already now it is a dream. Idyllic. We also ate fish. Fresh, but smoked, "strömming". It was the first time I ate a fish like this. You had to brake off the head with your fingers and to extract everything you does not want to eat (for me: organs and bones). Not my favorite snack, but eatable. And much better than surströmming, for sure. And our tour on Alnö was not over, yet. Petter lead us to a small village with cosy residences. Looked like summer cottages. At a cliff we enjoyed the view over the sea and faced a pretty harsh wind. At last we visited the ancient church of Alnö. Thanks to Petter for the awesome sitghseeing tour! For my last days after my first year in Sundsvall get quite around. Pictures will follow on Phil's gallery. Phil's gallery? Yes, he is back. Check the new galleries!
The night was a little bit more sad than the day. This time it was Solène's turn for going back home. Of course, we made ridiculous jokes in every situation, even if it was very sad. We kept our style until the end.
Monday arrived two cars from Östersund. Some friends from there came through and stayed for a night before they went on for vacations.
During the day I started with reading articles for "adapting an academic" style of writing. I found some stylistic devices I can adapt, but I guess, what they mean by "academic" is more scientific: Formulas, Defintions and high requirements to he readers knowledge. That collides with the preference "well readable" which was the only requirement for the article before, but I will look for opportunities to present the stuff more complicated. The main problem is, that I choose the topic just, because I am intersted in knowledge engineering. To be allowed to write about it, I connected it to "limited rationality" for relating my interest to the lectures I had. Everything I wrote in the article bases on books. What I have mentioned I did, because it was written in books. But now I have to invent explanations, why I only present particular topics. I have more than two weeks.
This evening I went out the lake upstream the river. I discovered the beavers at the usual place. They were 4 this time. More than I thought before. 3 I saw by myself and one I heard at the same time behind me. 2 I saw clearly next to me while one was obviously smaller than the other. Probably a familiy? Greetings to Canada which is probably laughing again ;-) Watch the newest beaver-movie.
