Good night
The picture was taken at 22.30 tonight ... It will not be dark at night now ... Daylight 24 hours a day ... We have a little trouble sleeping :-)
With Saturday
My friend Mario from Portugal wrote there were 30 ° C in the shade where he lived ... So hot, isn't it here in Kuummiut, approx. 8 ° C in the shade today ... But at the sunny side of the house are great to stay ... Here my wife and our daughter are sitting and enjoy the good weather ...

Enclosed...
Again a lovely warm sunny day ... Calm almost all day .. It feels like being in prison here in the house ...The fjord wisper to me come,come.. But I am still sick, and I have to be inside the house ...
Afternoon ...Snow evaporates now... They are no water from melting snow, the snow just disappears into the air ... At the port is now placed a lockout .. It consists of a very strong rope which is stretched at the entrance to the port ... It prevents icebergs in to enter the port ...
Morning
Calm ... In the horizon I can now see the pack ice ... In a few days, perhaps Ammassalik Fjord is filled with pack ice...

Bye to the sledge
The snow is melting fast now ... There is daylight 24 hours a day ... The plants are growing, it will soon be summer ... We have traveled with our little sledge the whole winter ... Now the sledge will be put away and wheelbarrows should be out running again...

Lyrics to Ajajajaa
Ajajajaa
They lived
In peace
For hundreds of years
Ajajajaa
They respected their song deeply.
Later it lived among them in silence,
As the heartbeat of life
Ajajajaa
Alas, their song was silenced by the eastern beliefs
Put out of by a strong wind of change.
The beauty it gave
Its people
Ended.
Their spirit suffocated.
Ajajajaa
It was forgotten for many years,
The people grew weak
Full of despair
Ajajajaa
Longing for their lost identity
They waited for the return of their song.
Wishing to gain strength from it once more
Ajajajaa
It came like a wind from the great mountains
Ending the time of darkness.
Restoring the old song
Returning the heartbeat of the people
Who once again grew strong
Ajajajaa
Now their spirit is set on a journey.
Destined to travel forever.
Ajajajaa
