There’s lesson to learn here but I don’t know what.

Not as cold last night as previous nights but still frost everywhere.

We’ve had another rather wonderful day here, a bit chilly in the wind but otherwise mostly sunny. I got a text message yesterday from my neighbors, they asked me if I wanted an armchair, You know the kind that one can lean back and then get a sort of foot step to rest the legs on and also a bit of a rocking chair?

There was a halo around the sun this morning, it was so big that I only could photo a small part of it.

They didn’t have the space for it and I like those kinds of armchairs so I said yes. I had to remove the one I had first though, a rattan armchair that I can’t use since I doubt that I now days can get up from if I sit in it 🙂 🙂 🙂 That started a series of cleaning events. I found several more places where Teodor had had his toilet, especially beneath the rattan armchair. I also tossed away a lot of other things I really have no need for and continued out to the kitchen where I finally removed all cardboard boxes and moved them to the car so that I can put them in the recycling containers.

This photo was taken two seconds before the hare crossed the field.

I also filled two empty big dog food sacks with all kinds of rubbish and then thankfully they asked me to come over and have a cup of coffee and also see what kinds of seeds we’re having since we’ll grow our vegetables together this year. If they hadn’t only god knows how much I had cleaned before I would fall down to the floor totally exhausted 🙂 🙂 🙂

We walked down to the creek again this morning. Everything went well, ok Alma had to walk behind me so that she couldn’t rip my shoulder to pieces again. Then we saw a hare running across a field. I don’t know why but she starts to scream as if she is ripped apart by something and I really can’t calm her down. Albin is much the same but he’s relatively quiet compared to her. The walk was sort of destroyed after that even though she finally did calm down. We had just arrived to the gate here when she suddenly saw another hare cross the cow pasture outside my property. She just sat down and quietly looked at it???

I guess I can learn something from this but I’m not sure what 🙂 🙂 🙂 She’s rather impossible when we’re out walking (some days are really good though) but the coolest dog in the world when we’re at home. She gets insane if she sees a wild animal when we’re out walking but really doesn’t care if we’re at home or at least close to it. Doesn’t she like taking walks? Can You figure out what the lesson here is since I really can’t?

It is time to go down to my armchair and most likely fall asleep in it 🙂 I think I actually will sleep better there since no dog will be able to share it with me 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!

  1. Hi Christer,
    I call those chairs recliners. I have one in the living room but I won’t sit in it except if I have to do something with the cable boxes. It has some magical property. No matter how wide awake I am, if I sit back and recline in it, I’ll be asleep in seconds.
    Interesting about Alma. Maybe give her high value treats and praise at home when she doesn’t react to wildlife and she’ll make the connection? I don’t know.
    Your neighbor did a good deed by interrupting your cleaning frenzy.
    Have a restful sleep in your recliner. 😄

    1. Hi Caryn!!

      I had never heard that name before but google showed me loads of different ones 🙂

      They are just too comfortable 🙂 🙂 🙂 I just sat down in it and couldn’t get up until after well over an hour 🙂 🙂 🙂 Luckily? both Alma and Albin kept me awake, both wanted to sit in my lap and were a bit annoyed when I didn’t let them 🙂 🙂 🙂 It must be perfect when having a cold and one need to sit up because of coughing!

      I really can’t understand her behaviour 🙂 🙂 No one at work could figure it out either

      I am really lucky with those neighbors 🙂 They are thinking of another baby and their cottage is just too small but they will not move but instead make the cottage bigger. I said thank god because I really don’t want any other neighbors than them 🙂

      Have a great day!

  2. Thanks for the link to your new blog, Christer. I really like the new format and layout better than the previous one. What nice neighbors to offer you a recliner and, of course, getting something “new” always leads to cleaning and decluttering which sounds like you did a lot. yes, it’s good to have good neighbors and hope they do not move.

      I’m not sure about this theme though. I did have a very similar one but with black behind the photos. Can’t find that one again though 🙂 🙂 🙂

      I have been so lucky with my neighbors! So I told them that I can never let them move away 🙂 🙂 🙂 The recliner is sooo comfortable 🙂

      Have a great day!
