Hot again today and I don’t like it. It has even been so hot that people at work who usually go outside during every break refused to do so today 🙂 🙂 🙂 I knew I would have to fetch a package today so I managed to go home a couple of hours early 🙂
It was the lens I bought at our EBay, called Tradera, that finally had arrived. Turned out that the seller were on vacation when I won it with my bid. I wouldn’t have cared if it just had said so in the add instead of getting to know it after I had bought it 🙂 🙂 🙂 Still I’ve tried it today and I really can’t complain. It is nice to once again have a tele-photo lens that works as it should. To be honest it has such a wide range that I don’t have to have any smaller lens as long as this one works.
Earlier this week I bought two really big peaches called Golden Peach. Nasty expensive but I thought that I at least should try once. They were really delicious and evenly light orange all over. I’ll see if I can find any more in the store tomorrow. Later on I bought some nectarines and all were just slightly bigger than a big plum. They too are delicious but I must admit that I’ve never seen that small nectarines before. So I’ve saved the kernels and I’ll sow them next winter. There’s no guarantee that, if any of them germinates and grow to be big enough to give fruits, that the fruits will look the same but then again I do like to sow seeds and see what happens 🙂
I’ll go to the physiotherapist for the last time tomorrow and I must say that my shoulders feels much better. They aren’t good in any way but I can work and didn’t need any surgery to get here and that’s a relief. After that I’ll only have to work one more week and then vacation starts 🙂 After this heat wave I’m really looking forward to it and I do hope that we’ll have temperatures around 20C (68F) and no higher than 25C (77F).
Nova’s eyes became better pretty quick after they had swollen up last week. Have no idea why this happened and I really wish I did know why because after the walk we had today I went to take a shower and when I came back from the bathroom one of her eyes were really swollen again. She doesn’t feel any pain and had a healthy apetite so I know it doesn’t disturb her but it does disturb me 🙂 🙂 🙂 She walked by herself most of the walk and I have no idea what she was doing while I took the shower but sometime around the walk and my shower she’s been in contact with something she can’t tolerate. I guess it’s some kind of grass pollen and I’ve ruled out insect bites because insect bites are irritating for a long time and she doesn’t even seem to know something is different 🙂
It’s time to drink something cold and after that I’ll most likely fall asleep in front of the tv, I’ve already fallen asleep in front of it once today 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
I had to google sea kale because I’d never heard of it. Thomas Jefferson grew it at Monticello. What does it taste like?
Growers are growing bigger fruit these days and it doesn’t improve the taste much. I had some blueberries not long ago that were the size of big grapes and I’ve had grapes that were bigger than cherry tomatoes. It’s not good when you have to slice your blueberries up before you put them in something. 😀
Very strange about Nova’s eyes.
The weather has been very nice here the last week or so. There was one rainy day last weekend which we needed and there was a thunderstorm last night. We needed that rain, too. But the temperature has been high 70’s low 80’s Fahrenheit with a nice breeze.
I’m glad to see that your shoulder has improved so much and even gladder that your vacation is coming up soon. Yay Vacation!
Have a great day.

Hi Caryn!
Taste is hard to describe but the flowers aren’t far from broccoli and the leafs and stalks are like green peas + cale. Quite nice to be honest.
That’s why I was a bit surprised because those peaches were quite tasty and seeing that small nectarines (very tasty as well) sort of surprised me. Normally new variants are big and tasteless. I’ve never seen that big grapes and blueberries though, You’re right one shouldn’t have to slice blueberries 🙂 🙂 🙂
I can’t figure out what it is giving that reaction. Today she’s almost back to normal again but since I have no idea what it is I can’t stop this from happening again. At least she doesn’t seem to care about it herself 🙂
89,6F again today! I do hope they’ve guessed it right that the cooler weather will arrive tomorrow with loads of rain and most likely thunder as well 🙂
Yes Yay vacation 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.
