So the company I work for started a sort of club for us working more than eleven years in the company, to “strengthen the community feeling”Β (and do fun things together) as I remember them saying. We even got a golden pin with the company logo on. Nothing much happened after that until yesterday when we all were going on a trip together.
Sounds fun doesn’t it? I did try to get out of it but had no such luck π π So we were going to the coast and so far so good. We had a really nice breakfast at a small hotel and that was quite nice too, we had the view over the ocean just outside the windows. It was after that it sort of went downhill. I can’t for my life understand how they thought us going to a company that makes similar things to what we do and then listening to how they met certain regulations during at least two hours in any way would “strengthen the community feeling”???
I was so bored that I for a while thought of just pretending to go to the bathroom and run away to the train station to go back home without them knowing π π π When that meeting finally was over we went to a factory one of the Owners of the company I work for owns. First however we had lunch and the food was actually worse than the one we used to have before we changed to another restaurant and we finally got food that was cooked and actually spiced too π π π
By then I thought it would have been better just to die there and when but we went to the factory, after all it could be fun to see what and how they were doing things there. Well Friday afternoon is perhaps not the best time to visit any other company since they are preparing for going home and nothing much happens? So the best I can say about yesterday is that it is a day I’ll never get back and that I now know I’ll refuse to go on another. I still can’t understand how they thought this in any way would do any good in any way. If anything it just showed us that those higher up in the hierarki really live in another world and most likely have no life outside work. I actually feel really sorry for them.
The walk this morning went fairly well until we met a deer. I really tried to make the deer move before Albin and Alma noticed it but that stupid animal just stood there and watched us. I shouted, jumped around and insulted its intelligence for not running away but it just stood there watching us until Albin and Alma started to scream like insane. The walk was not fun after that and I’ve decided I will notΒ have another walk with those two today. The shoulder pain is enough reason for not taking any more walks today.
It is time to start mowing, perhaps I’ll just do half the lawn today and the rest tomorrow. I’ll also continue with removing the lawn in the potato patch and later on theΒ vegetable patch too. Before anything else though I’ll have a cup of coffee π
Have a great day!

Christer,
It seems you and I have had bad days lately. At least with mine, I didn’t have to listen to boring people or eat bad foods. All I have to do is moan in pain as I walk around the house.
My pine trees are dying as are a couple of oaks. I hate it but some of them have to be cut down. In the last five years, three in the front are gone, and the backyard is next. One oak tree has some sort of a disease. Usually they are sturdy trees.
The sun finally came out but only a few minutes ago. It has warmed to 67Λ, a typical spring day ere on the cape. I wish I was more mobile so I could be out enjoying the day.
Take care and have a great Sunday!

Hi Kat!
Then again Your pain is still there, mine did at least go away when we finally came back home π π
Our pines are still fine but we too have had problems with oaks, it’s some kind of fungus that slowly kill them. I haven’t heard about it lately so perhaps the oaks can fight it somehow?
We’ve had a wonderful day here π Sunshine with a weak and cool wind and 73,4F. One really can’t ask for more.
You too!
Christer.
