it was hotter than in hell here in the cottage yesterday evening, well outside as well to be honest. The fan was working hard to help us make slightly less cooler than melting 🙂 I did manage to fall asleep and wasn’t the least annoyed when I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of heavy raining.

Just hearing the rain made it feel cooler. Apparently we also had thunder passing by but I didn’t hear anything of that though. I wouldn’t hear if the world exploded when I’m sleeping 🙂 🙂 It continued to rain well in to the morning. I must admit that it did feel a bit chilly when the dogs and I went out for our walk but I enjoyed every second of it. It was unfortunately warm enough for the flies to fly around but it was almost only the annoying forest flies and very few if any horse flies.

They’re guessing that we’ll get lots of rain and thunder on Monday and the temperature will stay around 20C (68F) for the rest of the week and after this heat wave I’m really looking forward to that 🙂 My neighbor mowed the lawn outside our gardens today, I napped 🙂 🙂 I have been rather active today though. I’ve done most of the laundry and I’ve finally planted all the carnivorous plants in the big pot I bought.

I took a look through Instagram and I do like the few commercial adds I find there. I don’t know why but some of the adds show things only a big time farmer would by 🙂 🙂 I did however see one add from a business that seems to sell anything and today they sold a baking machine. I sort of would like to have that one. It wasn’t that expensive and had good reviews but do I really need a baking machine? Well perhaps maybe 🙂 🙂 I do bake a lot of bread in periods and this one had a timer so that I would wake up to freshly baked bread in the morning. To be honest I thought all those baking machines had such a timer. So I might buy it if that add shows up again.

I’ve also shaved off all hair on my head and it feels so nice 🙂 I did look fro my mosquito hat before I started because I would hate to feel tiny flies walking all over my head while walking in the forest, not to forget that horse fly bites must be nasty if they bite on the skull 🙂 🙂 🙂 I wonder if horseflies would be interested in visiting carnivorous plants? 🙂 🙂 🙂

It is time for something to eat and after that fall asleep in front of the tv. I have the window beside me open and I can hear that it is drizzling outside. I can also hear the rather annoying magpies in my garden. I wonder if they would react if I hung up a stuffed magpie toy upside-down in my garden? I know that if someone kill a magpie and then hang it in the garden the magpies will stay away. I like them too much to have any killed though so perhaps a stuffed one would work 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!
