Longer days is a major advantage in the summer but I also enjoy the beautiful ladies in their bikini's at the beach a lot too!

I'd have to have a 'blacked-out' room in order to get off to sleep (or a lot of sleeping pills)

Nice Mon!
But since you're a Swede, you can probably appreciate a nice dark & cold day as well

As always you are right my friend, I expect to hear from him any day now.

Can you change the thread title to 2nd best part of the summer?

I'm not a fan of winter or cold/wet weather, so relocating from Aus has been climatically challenging
