It hasn’t been as nice as they said it would be today but it has still been pretty nice weather anyway. A bit on the chilly side as soon as the clouds covered the sky. Those times were perfect to take naps on 🙂
It is always interesting to watch how they change the weather predictions every day. Yesterday for instance they showed that we were going to get pretty unstable weather, lower temperatures and anything from a bit of rain to loads of it. Today they show that we’ll have pretty nice weather, just above 20C (68F) but no rain what so ever. It still looks though as the heat they have down in Europe won’t reach us but that can change any minute since it as usual doesn’t look as if they know what they’re doing 🙂 🙂 🙂
As You all know I get my water from a neighbor around 100 meters (much the same in yards) away, if You draw a straight line between us. However the owner of the land between us back when they put down that pipe refuse to let them put it down the straight way, instead it takes a long detour so it is perhaps three times as long 🙂 🙂 🙂 No problem really to be honest and to be even more honest I doubt that anyone now days actually know where that pipe is placed 🙂 🙂 🙂 Anyway, I’m the only one using that water now days but the one having the pump on his property is kind enough to still care for the filter so I didn’t have to buy a new one and install it here.
Every time he fixes anything with that filter though some of what has been caught in that filter ends up in the pipe, can’t be helped and back in the days when we both used that water I never noticed anything because he then pour out that water into his garden through his garden hose. He can’t do that any more since he now have communal water and those water taps were closed. Now days it all comes to me 🙂 🙂 🙂 He always tells me when this is about to happen but I don’t use that much water and the pipes are soo long so I actually never can guess when it will arrive over here 🙂 🙂 🙂 It did that last Monday and as worst it looked like I was pouring out very strong tea from my taps 🙂 🙂 🙂
There’s nothing wrong with the water, it is mostly rust and some silt but it really looks bad 🙂 So it has been a good thing that I’ve sowed a lot of seeds and that we didn’t get that much rain because to get rid of it and to get back my clean water I’ve watered a lot 🙂 In between when I have needed water I’ve just filtered it through thick paper but it is really nice to just be able to use the water out from the tap again 🙂 The seeds I’ve sown are finally showing up in my vegetable patch. I had to wait for them to so I then knew exactly where those plants were and how many that showed up in case I needed to sow again. As soon as the seeds I sowed today shows up I’ll be able to cover the soil with grass from the lawn mower.
I’ll go back to work tomorrow. I can’t say I feel back to normal but I don’t have any fewer now. It’ll be a short week anyway. Friday’s off since we’ll celebrate midsummer and I’ll be at the hospital for my twenty years inspection of my right hip on Tuesday. I guess I’ll go back next year for the tenth (really eleventh) year inspection of my left hip. I wonder why they couldn’t do both at the same time, it would just take five more minutes to be honest. It really doesn’t matter, I’ll always enjoy a day off from work 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
It’s a cute little spawn of Satan with its tiny pine cone. Is it red or brown?
It is odd that they don’t do both hips at the same time. Maybe they don’t want to subject you to too many rays of whatever machine they’re using to check them.
Our town flushes the water supply pipes at different times during the year. They always announce what areas they are doing in the local newspaper. Apparently nobody actually reads the local newspaper even if they have it delivered to their houses because it’s guaranteed that someone will make a complaining Facebook post on the community page asking about brown water in their neighborhood. It’s kind of amusing.
The weather over the weekend was mostly dreary. Sunday was downright cold. Early spring cold. It snowed in the northern parts of the area. I was happy I hadn’t put my winter sweaters away. 🙂 Today is much better. It’s still cool and the breeze has a definite nip in it but the sun is shining and it’s warm. Tomorrow is supposed to be just as good.
Have a great day.

Hi Caryn!
We only see them as cute here since they are so shy 🙂 It’s pure luck to see one this close to be honest.It leaned towards red in the color.
He did actually check how it worked but they didn’t x-ray it this time. Turns out I was wrong about how long it was since I had my second hip fixed, it isn’t ten years but twelve. So I’ll see the doctor in three years again when it’s the fifteenth anniversary.
I’m actually surprised about how many actually read the local newspapers here. I’m not one of them though 🙂 🙂 🙂
Another sunny and warm day here, a prefect day to have off from work 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.

I think we need more pine martins here. Too many squirrels that have gotten too bold and too smart from outwitting people’s bird feeders and pest proofed houses. Suburban squirrels need more landscape of fear.

Yes martens would do the job. They’ve stopped hunting martens here so our squirrels are afraid of most things, and angry too it seems because I can hear them sounding angry when we walk by them 🙂 🙂
