My two week holiday is coming to an end and on Monday it is time for work again. For the first time, I did not go anywhere for a holiday trip. We stayed at home to finish the various renovation projects. I have basically been working harder on my holiday than during normal work weeks. We have painted the winter garden on the inside (outside is planned for next year), finished the electric wiring, loud speaker, and light installations in winter garden and balcony, painted the shutters and the railing on the balcony, removed and put new terrace tiles in place. Except for the bigger projects I have also done some minor improvements throughout the apartment, like changing some outlets and installed some new light sources and hung up two bikes on the wall in the cellar.
But the holiday has not only been about working, my parents were here for two days and we did a tour to Thun on Monday this week. The road over Brünigpass and via Brienzersee and Thunersee is quite stunning so it was a pleasure to do that trip together.
A little side project during my holiday was to replace OpenIndiana with Debian Wheezy (7.6) on the file server. Open Solaris/OpenIndiana was decent during the five years I trusted them with my data but Debian is far more maintainable for me so it is definitely a welcome switch. This time I am giving LVM a chance and by combining RAID and LVM I think I will have a solution that won’t make me miss ZFS.
As a side note I today noticed that both Luanda and N’Djamena are in front, i.e. more expensive, of Zurich on Mercer’s annual comparison of the cost of living. I have heard that Luanda is expensive but I did not think that expensive.
Nice to read, see and listen to the laud speakers in every roome. Good sound as well.
Hi both of you and thanks for all information. It´s nice to improve at home, many do
in Sweden and use ROT-avdrag. At the moment we grind (slipar av) kitchen chairs
and varich them. We have been on the west coast and visit Jonny and Ingela and even
visiting Visingsö in Vättern and travelling around by car. What a lovely summer we have had. So many swimming tours as we have hade this summer , haven´t we had
Before. By the way, I´ve changed my e-mail, had only trubbel with Hotmail, so now it is oman.gunnel@gmail.com. We have ordered a Cruise from Barcelona for 8 nights,

first Cruise we are going to do, very exciting. We vill explain to you if we can recommend to you.
Lots of love, Gunnel och Raoul, five my love to Freja
