The story of
The Swedish summer
There once was a porch at an office in the north of Sweden. Some of the employees used to go there to make the most of Sweden’s few weeks of summer. Swedes have a problematic relationship with the sun during the summer. When you sit in the sun, you will roll up your pants and shirt. Finally, you can enjoy yourself! But the enjoyment only lasts for a little while. As a matter of fact, the enjoyment will always be threatened by clouds. You will anxiously sit in your chair and wait for the next cloud to cover the sun. When the cloud has entered, you will rapidly become cold and you are forced to put on your jacket again. That is how it goes, over and over again. The ones that decide to sit under the umbrella may have a more constant experience of temperature; however, it tends to be difficult to create an extensive shadow with the umbrella. Therefore, it is very difficult to enjoy the Swedish summer.
