We fished and we celebrated Midsummer with the traditional bonfire, despite the hundreds of mosquitoes!!!
Now I am tackling the usual humungous pile of washing and doing all the chores that need to be done.......

Midsummer
Glorious weather, warm water in the lake, long evenings and 3 generations of the Mononen family all make for a wonderful midsummer. Of course diabetes came along too but generally behaved. I did discover however that sand and quick sets don't mix and it is a good idea to take off the (rather expensive) pump when A goes off fishing with his Dad on the lake!
We found a safe spot for the pump on a birch tree next to the lake, whilst the kids messed about in the warm water.

On a side note, for some reason this made me smile and I am sure to some of you reading this you will smile too. I doubt too many people have their alarm clocks set up like this!
Sleep well!

When we go to the beach, Daniel gets one of the very large waterproof band-aids. He unhooks his pump, and we keep it in a cooler. Then he covers the site with the large band-aid to keep the sand out of it. The sticky part of the band-aid doesn't touch the insertion site at all. You are right -- sand does NOT mix with the pump!
