02-09-03 Late summer report	The weather this summer has been something extra ordinary. Webmaster has not been able to resist the warm sun and has, without remorse, abandoned the artificial light from the computer monitor, which explains the passive web. The Holmö Day attracted some people although this was one of the few summer days with less good weather. The song festival (Visfestivalen) was a successful attraction with lots of visitors in the audience. The chaos from last year never occured. Many visitors had learned the lesson and brought tents and stayed the whole weekend instead of queueing at the ferry for hours. During August, the summer continued in full power. Many were them who had used up all vacation days and looked, in envy from the ferry, on the ones in shorts having a cold beer on the new porch at Hamnkrogen.

It was in the last minute the firebrigade together with about 40 volunteers managed to get the fire under control.
