Life goes on.

21st June at 01:00 in the night my grandfather passed away peacefully on one of the most magical nights on the year, Midsummer. My memories of my grandfather are all dear to me and I am happy that I last week was able to see him a last time before he passed away. I know that for him it was time to go and that he wanted to se his Signe again. I think of my family back in Sweden and hope that they are allright. It is with all my dear memories that I will now remember him. I am in some way happy even though my heart is heavy and I know he is now in a better place then he was.

Documentary mornings.

I have this morning on way to work listened to a documentary about the Catalina crisis from the Swedish national radio program 3, (SR P3). It is about when the Russians shot down a Swedish plane over 'international' water. Were exactly the DC 3 plane were when it was shot down is not know other then to the Russians and to the Swedish air force. However it is very interesting to listen to. We were very close to a conflict with Russia at this point. For sure it was one of the most dangerous situations for Sweden during the cold war. I have started to download a pod-radio documentary every morning. I have so far listened to The SAS crash at Gottröra, and about the Congo crisis in the early 60'ies which I must say was so far the most interesting, the stories from Swedish personnel and UN soldiers paint a very different situation then I had previously known. I can recommend to do this if you have an mp3 player or mobile phone that can play mp3's.
