The winds are so strong today that I didn’t want to take a walk in the forest because the gusts might push some trees to the ground and I really don’t want to get one over anyone of us. Besides that it’s a really nice day, just enough warm and sunny. We did get some drops of rain and more will come tomorrow but that’s nothing compared to what we got yesterday.

I left work a bit early yesterday because some papers would have to be signed before the road association meeting. The rain had started early and then the thunder arrived. To be honest most of it passed north of us but we did get the showers and the hail. I walked five meters from the car to the house door and was soaking wet before I arrived at the house 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m so glad that the dog food I had ordered arrived the day before 🙂 🙂 The meeting went very well, we were only five people there so the meeting didn’t take long and after that we had some coffee and biscuits 🙂 I wasn’t away from home more than an hour including the drive there and back 🙂

Today my apricot tree finally arrived so I had to pick it up at the big package delivery center in Falköping. I did wonder why I couldn’t fetch it at my normal place in Gudhem but I had forgotten to check how high it actually was. It is just as or slightly taller than I am and I did have some problems getting it in to my car 🙂 🙂 🙂 I had to cut off just enough of the box it arrived in to be able to shut the tailgate. Another problem was the wind.

The package was high but not especially wide to be honest but the strong wind caught it and I’m lucky it didn’t use us as a kite 🙂 The tailgate was headed just towards the wind so at first I couldn’t open it up. It was a bit tricky to hold the package at the same time 🙂 🙂 It was almost as difficult to shut it when all wind pressed in the the car and I tried to push the tailgate down 🙂 🙂 We now I have it at home and it will be standing at the north side of my cottage where the wind can’t reach it until it calmes down and I can find some place to plant it.

I’ll leave work early tomorrow as well since I’m going to the physiotherapist again. I won’t go back to work after that since there will be very little time left until I stop working for the day.  I’m waiting for another package as well, I’ve ordered a fence so I can make it higher so that Alma won’t jump over it (well at least I hope she won’t 🙂 🙂 ) and I’ll also fence in my vegetable patches since Albin would eat anything edible he could reach 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!
