Slow days stuns the brain.

All photos comes from the folder “For a rainy day”, today was too grey and dull to take any photos. This photo comes from my old Flexaret III camera.

So yesterday while I was working I suddenly got a phone cal from my neighbor and I thought that can’t be a good thing. Either my cottage is burning down or Alma has escaped from the dog yard again. Thankfully it was the latter one πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So I had to drive home to fix the place where she had escaped from. The weather was really nice, sunshine, no wind and therefore rather warm.

I’m so glad that Albin actually is a really obedient dog that knows he isn’t allowed to leave the dog yard when I’m not at home because it would have been much harder to find him if he had seen anything moving because he had run after it πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I’m never worried about Nova πŸ™‚ Alma spent most of the time with my neighbors and I’m so glad they really love her. Alma is now really good friends with their three year old daughter. They even filmed Almas visit to them πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I did go back to work for almost an hour before it was time to go back home again and everyone at work found it hilarious πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It was a bit slow at work today (no phone calls from my neighbors thankfully). I had plenty to do but time passed so slowly. Days like that sort of stuns the brain so when I went to the grocery store after work I wanted to renew my lottery tickets. Nothing strange but today I really couldn’t get it right. Here when we’re playing the lottery or any other thing like that we must get our identity card or drivers license registred in the machine. I really wanted to give her my license but instead tried with my bank card πŸ™‚ When I finally got it right I thought I just as well renew it for two more times but forgot to say that, so when I was about to pay I thought that it was way too cheap. So we had to re do it again and behind me the queue grew large.

I had a written note with me so I knew exactly what I wanted to buy today and it wasn’t until I had paid that I realized that I had forgotten to buy anything for dinner at work next week, so back in to the store and find something. I was lucky though because some kids were stopping most people to get to the till so I could sort of go around them all and get first in line again πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It was really nice to come home and to see that all the dogs were where they were supposed to be πŸ™‚ I let the dogs run around in the garden but thought I saw how Alma jumped over the fence to the neighbors again. So I shouted out her name and it turns out that she was at the opposite side of the garden. I thought it must have been a cat or a big bird going that way instead so I said to her that she was a good bird πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ It took a couple of time before I managed to say good girl πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

We have an Englishman working at the factory now days, he works the evening shift but we do meet for a couple of hours every day. He has lived in Sweden for around 18 years but he has a little problem, when ever someone understands he’s from England they automatically starts to talk English to him πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ He thinks he’s bad in swedish though so we (are of course no better) all talk english with him πŸ™‚ He sked me where I got my accent from because it does sound as if I’ve lived in England. He knows that I’ve just passed by as best, so I told him that when I lived in Gothenburg we had cable tv and the only channel I watched back then was a channel called BBC Prime. I must have worked all evenings or nights then because I watched Good Morning Britain every day.

I realized that I didn’t speak english as they did on tv so I started to repeat more or less every word they said until I came close enough to how they sounded. I call it BBC english πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So I can only than the two who hosted good morning britain, Ms Anne Diamond and Nick Owen for how I speak english πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ He laughed out loud and says it sounds posh and I think that is the only thing posh about me πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

  1. Hi Christer,
    It’s nice that your neighbors like Alma and she and their little girl are such great friends. No wonder she’s jumping the fence. It’s play time. πŸ˜„
    That’s cool that you learned to speak like BBC presenters. Most of the British programming I see now seems to have more of a Manchester accent except for BBC news which tends to be mostly Welsh.
    It’s a lovely autumn day here. There’s wall to wall blue sky and sun. It’s 41⁰F and it feels like 41⁰F except on my front steps where it feels more like 70⁰F. That’s no bad thing except if one is wearing a heavy sweater because it’s cold inside the house.
    Have a great day.

    1. Hi Caryn!

      It would have been really awkward if they hadn’t πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      The fun thing is that if they had had other dialects I would have spoken like that instead πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Most tv show hosts back then still mostly didn’t speak with a speciffic dialect but that has thankfully changed by now, it was much the same here on swedish television back then but now days people are allowed to sound like they actually do. It would have been fun to have a welsh dialect πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      Early morning here right now and I just let the dogs outside to pee and I was surprised to feel that the sky was peeing here too, a gentle rain and no wind made it miss hitting my windows so I couldn’t hear it. Definitely jacket weather here today.

      Have a great day!

      Christer.
