The sun has mostly shined all day but the temperature has barely reached above 13C (55,4F). It does feel much warmer in the house on the southern part of it where the sun hits than it does on the northern side (and I mean indoors). So while I’ve been able to have the kitchen door open for quite some time today I’ve still had the radiator on in the living room where there isn’t any window on the south side of it š
We were out in the early morning and for once we actually saw a couple of Roe deer. Alma went nuts as always but Albin did actually stay quite calm. I did manage to calm down Alma after a couple of minutes but she refused to stop looking at the point where she last saw them š Too many scents after the wild hogs all around us though so she was still all over the place when we were walking. I brought a plastic bag with me and I did find some mushrooms, not the most yummy but they are perfect if one wants to make a mushroom sauce.
No need to make dinner for the coming week at work today, I did that last week and since I’ve been at home all week I still have it in the freezer š Today I also tried cooked food for the first time (well unless one counts toast as cooked, it is after all sort of fried) and so far so good š
Economists are surprised that we have stopped to buy other things than necessities much earlier than they anticipated. I wonder why since they’ve scared the crap out of people telling us that electricity and petrol prices will be insanely high the coming winter. Also all the central banks have raised the interest rates to stop the inflation, which has no effect on the electricity and gas prices what so ever, making the living costs insanely high as well for lots of people. So how can they be surprised at all? Of course people will stop buying things they really don’t need when they’re told the coming winter will be as close to harmagedon as possible without actually go through Harmagedon for most people š š š
Well nothing much we can do about it anyway to be honest , all we can do is to hope it won’t be too bad. It is time for a cup of tea and some toast and after that it’s time to give the dogs their food too.
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
I don’t know why they’re surprised, either. Everything gets more expensive practically on a weekly basis. The only thing not going up for a lot of us is our income. I’m not looking forward to the cost of heating my house this winter. The thermostat is going to be set as low as is practicable. I’m knitting heavy sweaters as fast as I can. š Woolly socks, too. Here’s hoping the winter is mild and mostly sunny so I can sit on the front porch to get warm. š
Today is supposed to be in the 80s and summery. It’s getting there. The sun is warm but the breeze is very cool.
Glad to read you are attempting non toast cooked food. Things addre looking up.
Have a great evening.

Hi Caryn!
All we really can do, besides knitting sweaters and socks š is to hope for a warm winter š Not looking promising though, the temperature barely rose above 50F here today and the northern winds really don’t help at all š š
We haven’t gotten our raise yet, we should have had it already in April but it looks as if we’ll get it with our next pay. Won’t do any bigger difference to be honest, the inflation and the rise of the interest rate will most likely be three times higher than what we’ll get š š š
First day at work and their bad planning made my dat really calm and nice š š š
Have a great day!
Christer.
