Second time this week, about 3.5km this time. Feels really good.
Regarding the shoes, that I received a couple of comments on, I’ve bought a pair at Löplabbet. The fit like a glow and give me the support I need. They cost €150 so they’d better do the trick 
I went for a run today for the first time in years. It was only 3k but it’s a start.
I hope that I’ll get out 3 times a week from now
I’ve even bought proper shoes.
Erik and I made a second attempt at the golf course today and without the rain we managed to go all 9 holes.
I was off for a great start on the 1st hole where I played on the actual par! That was 4 points secured, 14 more needed to reach my goal of 18 and the chance to get a green card.
The 2nd hole was a bit of a disaster and I scored an even 0.
After that I mixed good swings with bad but played a couple of holes on my par and a few just one above giving me 2 and 1 points per hole. I only scored 0 points on that 2nd hole.
As we came up to the 9th hole Erik, who had kept track of the scores since we only had one score card, asked if I wanted to know how I was doing but I didn’t want to add more pressure on myself so I said no.
As I hit the ball from tee it looked quite good. It was straight and looked about the correct length. It was slightly off though and I landed in a nasty bunker next to green.
With a bit of luck I managed to get out of the green with just one swing and then cupped with two puts putting me on my par securing another two points.
At that Erik walked up to me, reached out his hand and said “Congratulations on 19 points”.
I did it! On the first attempt! And it was fun! 
I was standing on the platform waiting for the train on my way home from work earlier today when I saw this.
It water actually coming up from the drain and onto the platform
It’s funny ‘cuz it’s true!
Forgot to mention that the midsummer photos has been added to the gallery
I went out on the golf course to go 9 holes today. My very first time.
I didn’t do too well one the first two holes. 3 over par on hole one and never got the ball in the cup on hole 2.
On hole three I had a terrible first swing, as usual. However, Erik lent me a second ball just for good fun and that one nearly hit the green on a 207 m. long hole. Too bad I couldn’t count it
As we walked to take our second shots the sky opened up. Rain poured down and there was thunder roaring above us. We decided to call it quits when we were soaked after about 10 seconds.
All in all good fun but I wouldn’t call it a successful first attempt
Yesterday I finished Neil Gainman’s Stardust.
In the edition that I’ve got there’s also a prologue to Stardust; The Story of Wall.
It’s just a few pages but it’s about a girl who’s out on a field and sees a magpie land beside her. Then comes another one, and another one, and another one until there are seven of them.
It the book the girl remembers a rhyme that goes like this:
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for girls,
Four for boys,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told
As I read the rhyme I realised that that is also part of one of my favourite Counting Crows songs, A Murder of One. This got me thinking that they must’ve gotten the rhyme from somewhere and perhaps so did Gaiman, unless of course he actually wrote it himself, I find that somewhat unlikely though.
Since I can’t a find a good answer to this question on google (all I found there was people debating whether the rhyme went up to ten or not, something I seriously doubt the original rhyme does but that’s a different story) I’m now stretching out to you, my few, earnest readers in an attempt to clarify this. So the question is, who originally wrote this rhyme and how does it actually go?
