Today

Today we walked downtown, across the bridge over to Frösön and then along the shoreline all the way to beachfront on the south side of the island. Noah did pretty well in the stroller, even if the sun does bother him somewhat. I wasn't sure where we were going but isn't it more fun that way sometimes. We sat right in front of the water for a few minutes and Noah got to watch the water. There were a lot of boats out on the water and I imagined being on one. How peaceful it must be. We then hiked back the same way we came and went through the town again, which was crowded with people there for the festivities. It seems like everybody were in groups or in couples. We trodded our way across the crowded town square and walked all the way up to the café close to the woods where we often walk. I had to bring the stroller into the café when I got something to eat even though you're not supposed to because it's cramped in there, but I didn't want to leave Noah alone outside. I had an oat and nougat cake and sparkling lemon water and Noah had a fruit cup. We sat as much in the shade as possible. There was a chocolate brown poodle sitting tied to a tree next to us and I talked to him. Friendly little bugger. I was in no hurry to go home, but eventually we had to make our way home since Noah was getting tired and probably a little fed up sitting in the stroller. Now we're home. There is stuff to do even when you're on your own with a baby. It does feel empty somehow but I try to wave that aside and focus on just making something of the day. Oddly enough I'm not really tired even though we walked so far. We'll see what we get up to tomorrow. The aim is simply to get through the day and try to make the most of it.
