A perfect day

Got up, had breakfast, got a lift to my aunt's summer cottage. As usual for Swedish summer cottages, it is surrounded by trees. Met my cousin and we got fishing rods from the cellar. We load up with a hamper, get into their boat, and go to a tiny island, where my other cousin and their family have been camping. We tie up, and have coffee on some rocks by the sea. Time for a swim in the Baltic. My cousins and I get in the boat and go fishing. Peter catches a fish on his first throw, though that is the only catch of the day. We go back for more swimming and lunch, and roast in the sun for a bit. Another swim then home.

My cousin is apparently amazed that I can front crawl, so we walk down to the sea so I can teach him. He gets better, but still needs a lot of practise.

At my aunt's cottage we set up a barbecue. In the evening my parents come, and we all get very drunk.
