The weather has been rather mixed today. Quite warm and very windy. Lots of clouds but still lots of sunshine and one surprising shower with five lightnings hitting not too far away to the south west of the village. I had almost all windows open but the ones in the living room when I looked outside and thought it must be raining. I did manage to close them all before the heavy raining started and the thunder started to thunder 🙂
I’ve ordered a “new” mobile phone. I really didn’t want to but realized that I really need to. I have a few cracks in it but so far that hasn’t been any problem but so the other day, when I had the phone in my hand while looking at Albin and Alma playing, I suddenly heard a rather quiet but still clear cracking sound. Turns out that the phone now cracks more and more and it’s just enough to hold it for it to happen.
So I went to the website where I bought my computer, the one that sell used computers and phones. Turns out they had a sale on phones so now I bought an almost new Samsung Galaxy Note 9. It was almost a third of the price buying a new in a store. They go through all phones and deletes anything personal from the previous owner. My guess is that some company had it as a phone for an employee and that the company stopped to excists not long after they got the phone and that it is repossessed. Still I would rather continue to have the phone I now have but I doubt that the glass will hold much longer. I really dislike having to get a new phone or computer.
I’ve mowed the lawn today, haven’t mowed since before the heatwave so in some places the grass were pretty high. Especially in those places where the water hose were placed, the one that is perforated so that the water slowly waters the plants 🙂 🙂 🙂 I did think the flies were slightly insane since the wind reached my garden but now I understand it was because of the coming thunder. I was actually planning to just mow a part of it all but since the wind blow so that it felt cooler than it was I just continued and mowed it all.
My bon bons and film rolls have arrived at the grocery store in Gudhem today so I’ll go and pick them up tomorrow. First however I’ll go and buy a new garden hose, one that isn’t perforated 🙂 🙂 There’s really no need to water the lawn, the less it grows the better for me 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
I do like that rose.
Most of my grass is getting crispy as we are in a moderate drought right now. We had 0.05 inches of rain last night. I water a few places when I refill the bird water basin. (It’s too small to call a bird bath and I’ve never seen a bird in it. They perch on the rim to drink then they go bathe in the street puddle if there is one.) My other chore yesterday was to remove all the walnuts from the low hanging branches on the old tree. The branches are sweeping the ground from the weight of the nuts and the nuts aren’t close to full size. The lawn guy was in danger of getting conked in the head or having an eye poked out.
Today is hot and humid. The house is shut and the AC is running.
Have a great day.

Hi Caryn!
The grass was rather crispy before the heavy rainfalls passed by but now it’s lush and green again. The Norwegian weather site says rain and thunder tonight and on early Saturday morning, the big swedish one say meh, perhaps rain 🙂 🙂 I always trust the Norwegian before the Swedish one.
I have a pedestal with a dinner plate standing on it, just enough water for the birds to drink from and also bees and there’s no risk the bees will drown in it. I really should make a good bird bath because sometimes they try to take a bath in my water barrels. So far no bird has drowned but I guess it’s just a matter of time.
Still no need to remove walnuts here 🙂 🙂 🙂
Just below 68 as warmest here today, typical Swedish summer weather 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.

Buying any new electronic can be challenging and, like yourself, I will also be getting a newer phone within the next few months. Thankfully, it will be another Apple mobile, so backing up and then restoring the information will be rather easy. However, I may also replace/update my desktop computer and that will be more challenging, but I plan to do it at the Apple store that is nearby. Good luck to you with your newer phone. That rose is beautiful.

Hi Beatrice!
I think one can do just the same with any kind of phone now days but I’ve never used the cloud so I wouldn’t know what to do 🙂
It is beautiful 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.
