I’ve failed the only goal I had for this vacation and it was such an easy goal to reach to be honest. I had decided that I should take a nap every day all four weeks but I’ve only really done it since last Friday 🙂 🙂 🙂 (I don’t count dozing off in front of the tv though).
It wasn’t the nicest weather when we woke up today, not especially chilly but the rain was pouring down. I really didn’t mind the rain but I had to force the dogs outside so that they would do their businesses 🙂 🙂
The rain has come and gone every now and again the entire day and it stayed on the cool side, it was quite nice being outside to be honest. Then the sun suddenly showed itself and when it did it suddenly became rather
warm and with the high humidity it went from nice to rather nasty. I looked at the weather sites and yesterday they showed that it would stay on the cool side today but now they suddenly show that we’ll have temperatures
up to 27C ( F). It’s just for on day thankfully, already tomorrow evening a cold front will pass by with lots of rain and most possibly thunder as well.
It does look as if the anti tick spray works pretty well. Neither Nova nor Alma have had more than a couple of the nasty buggers walking on them. The lemon scented collar on Albin is harder to say anything about. I have
found a couple on him but he rarely have any walking around or biting him anyway. Flies are biting them all though so neither the spray or the collar helps towards them I’m afraid. I guess it’s the same insects that bite me when I walk
barefoot on my lawn. It itches for a short while and the red markings that show also disappears pretty quick but it had made me not walking barefoot outside before going to bed 🙂 🙂 🙂
I went to buy groceries and pick up a package as soon as the stores opened today. I had ordered a new filter for my aquarium. The fish I have (platyfish) likes it so much that they are too many and it takes no time at all before I need to change the water. It is nice that they like it there but the joy of changing the water quickly fades off 🙂 🙂 🙂 I do use that water in my vegetable patch though so at least I have some good use for it. I haven’t picked it all together yet though but it will be up and running at least tomorrow 🙂 I really would like to have a 600 liters ( 158,5 gallon US) like I once had but I doubt that the over 100 years old floors here would managed to carry that kind of weight 🙂 🙂 🙂
It is time to have something to eat and after that most likely fall asleep in front of the tv 🙂 I haven’t checked but I doubt they’ll show anything interesting on any channel, summer is re-run time.
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
I would count falling asleep in front of the tv as technical naps. You’re not in bed and it’s not your normal sleep time sp it’s a nap.
The black walnut is much bigger than I thought. It looks very lush. Has it flowered yet?
It’s 82⁰F here and sunny. Not humid yet and that’s good. There’s a lovely breeze outside which makes sitting in the shade very pleasant. Tomorrow it will hit 100⁰F with high humidity but no rain. Ugh.
Have a great evening.

Hi Caryn!
I sort of agree but a nap would be something I would do consciously and something extra I would do, the other ones just happens 🙂 🙂 🙂
It must be around 4 meters high now but it hasn’t flowered yet. I wonder if fighting the tree cancer is delaying it a bit? It doesn’t help to threaten it with cutting it down either 🙂 🙂 🙂
This morning is on the cool side but the sunshine they had promised shines with its absence 🙂 🙂 Ok the sun does show when gaps in the clouds come at the right place but that doesn’t happen especially often. Thunder last night and it was really aggressive. Loved it 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.

Any time you fall asleep when not in bed can count as a nap, I agree with Caryn. The light comng through in that first photo was magnificent and I wondered if you used your phone or camera.
Also, so you always carry both your cell phone and a camera(s) when out on your walks?

Hi Beatrice!
A nap is more an active plan though 🙂 🙂 🙂
I used my camera for that photo. If You look at the bottom of each post You’ll be able to see what cameras I’ve used.
No quite often I leave my phone at home. If anyone really wants to reach me they’ll continue to call until I come home again 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.
