  • Felt much cooler that it actually was.

    August 16, 2026

    We’ve had a really nice and cool day here today. Looking at the thermometer says fairly warm but we had a cool, semi strong wind blowing and big parts of the day was cloudy so it actually felt much nicer than it was 🙂 Hunters out all day in the forest so we have spent…

  • I’m tired of this drought now!

    August 15, 2026

    Yesterday was horrible, temperature wise. 30C (86F) and the wind just made it worse by being warm as well. Everything dried out so I had lots of watering to do when I came back home from work. It did help some but there are lots of roots looking for those few drops of water they…

  • Still summer warm.

    August 9, 2026

    The dogs woke me up at 3:20 am and I really didn’t want to get up. However if it was because they needed to do their business and I didn’t want it to happen indoors I had to get up. I’m not sure what they did because they ran around the garden a couple of…

  • We’ve had really mixed weather this week.

    August 8, 2026

    We’ve had very mixed weather here this week, anything from sunny and Scandinavian hot to almost chilly and heavy rain. Today however has been rather nice, cool and sunny morning, a few hours with cloudy weather and now sunny and just enough warm. Strong winds blowing all wee though. Wee went down to the creek…

  • Not a start of the morning I like to have :-)

    August 2, 2026

    It was just before 4:30 this morning, I woke up to hearing the dings run up and down the stairs so I thought I better get up and let them out because I really didn’t want an accident happening just because I was to slow to open the door. Turns out that they really didn’t…

  • It actually works as a substitute for ice cream :-)

    August 1, 2026

    The temperature rose to 32C (89,6F) on Thursday and the night was way too warm as well so I’m still very tired after that. Not only I but most of us had a hard time that day. Today however we’re back to 20C (68F) and life feels good 🙂 It’ll stay like this, mostly sunny…

  • Just as chilly today.

    July 26, 2026

    It’s bit chilly again today (and they’re saying it will be the same tomorrow but turn warmer on Tuesday. We’re lucky if it reaches 18C (64,4F) today. I don’t mind after the long heatwaves we’ve had. The morning was quite nice though, no wind, the sun rising and a few birds singing. It must have…

  • A bit chilly today.

    July 25, 2026

    Cloudy here today and every now and again some rain has fallen. Not much, not even enough to make the ground beneath the tree canopies even damp. Also a bit chilly since it just reached 17C (60,8F). The work week was warm though so I guess this weather made the day a perfect day to…

  • It felt like an autumn day.

    July 19, 2026

    The temperature never rose above 12C (53,6F) today and I think that if I hadn’t known it will rise up to 20C (68F) already tomorrow it would have annoyed me quite a bit 🙂 but I have to say it did feel rather nice despite it also raining well in to the afternoon. We needed…

  • Finally rain :-)

    July 18, 2026

    We didn’t get especially much rain during last night but what difference it made to the vegetation! Everything looked alive and that wasn’t the case yesterday. I must admit that I still felt a bit disappointed but it is what it is. We woke up around 3 am today and normally I would just have…

  • Longing for that rain and cool weather to arrive.

    July 17, 2026

    It has been, for us Scandinavians, nasty hot here with temperatures around 33C (91,4F). Guess if I’m happy to be caring about the public pool in Floby every day 🙂 Today I decided I should sweep all the stairs in the pool and brush away all sand that the bathers had brought in with them…

  • Sun warm strawberries.

    July 12, 2026

    I’m sitting here in front of the computer eating strawberries that my neighbours kids thought I should have 🙂 Yes I am spoiled 🙂 🙂 They had been to one of the many self picking places today because the season for strawberries is almost open and this was supposed to be the last weekend they…
