Well, after 1000 miles of driving to and from northern Sweden, where we picked up an old porcelain stove, I've had some time to think about possible ideas to surprise my W. Here they are - do they seem on the right wavelength?
1. a nice dinner in the city, just the two of us, followed by a walk to overnight on a yacht that has been converted into a hotel, in separate rooms (no pressure), but with a single red rose in hers. If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then maybe separate rooms does too... 2. spend a weekend in Ireland or London (there are seriously cheap flights from here), to a show or a museum, dinner at a curry joint or Irish pub, the kids with friends 3. stay overnight at an island hotel or hostel with dinner, some place where you can hear, smell and feel the sea. The archipelago near here has a bunch of such places, maybe even involving hiking to the hotel from the ferry, adding adventure.
I remember people telling us to reserve and spend one night a week, every week, with just each other a long time ago, but we never did it. In retrospect that seems good advice.
Clear night with stars - more like this and it is soon time for all boats to come out of the water -
More tomorrow after office is finished and brain is not fogged from driving -

ps. The interesting part of OM is that he has novelty on his side, both as a person and for being in a new place. I can only somewhat hope to match that. My he have at least as many character flaws in him as I do...
