Time to Turn the Lights On!!

 We still have long days and it has been warm.  Although I have not been going out that much, except for an evening walk.  But this summer i stayed here and so witnessed the long days and so know how by this time of the year people are happy that days are getting shorter.

Now when I go for walks about 8:00 pm or so the lights in the houses are on, making them look like small castles.  

Every few years there are new trends and fashions even for the houses.  And the following is one such trend. The new floors/porches (mainly for the outdoors) whether made of wood or concrete have  inbuilt light regulated bulbs.   Come sundown, they light up!!

A friend recently shared with me, 'Oh I went running and then came and took a shower at work.'

Do you have showers at work? I asked.

Yes!

Wow, a very modern office then, like Google and Apple.  

No, she shrugged, its just a very 80s office.

Meaning?

'Well, gyms are a new thing.  When we did not have gyms, usually offices had small gyms and showers within the office to facilitate people exercising.'

Hmmm.....

And just to add, 'Galleria' (meaning malls) are also only two decades old in Sweden
