Sound travels well in sandy soil.

I’ve done all my chores early today and to be honest there weren’t that many to do. The laundry, dinner for next week and dinner for today. We had pancakes today and we also had pancakes yesterday πŸ™‚ The dogs get one each and I’ll have as many I can get out from the batter πŸ™‚

Most of yesterday morning and also this morning rained away, I didn’t mind really because today the hunters were out hunting so we couldn’t do much anyway and yesterday the afternoon was quite nice even though there was no sign of the sun. It’ll be much the same the coming week, rain in the beginning of the week but just grey and dull for the rest of it.

No one won the big lottery last week so now one person can win one billion Swedish kronor on Tuesday (that would be something around, depending on the value of the US dollar,$ 90- 100 million US. That’s so much money that I can’t understand it but I’m willing to win it just to try and actually understand how much it is πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So I didn’t win the jackpot but I did get back twice to what I payed so that’s always nice. I know of only two universal truths, one is that anything that lives will die and the second one is that I’ll never be happy with how much I’ll win on the lottery πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ but I am willing to be proven wrong in that latter one πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I checked the place where Alma had escaped the dog yard and she had already started to work hard on that place again, so I have now strengthened that area so that it at least will take a day or so before she can do a real try to get out again. I will also buy more toys and put in the dog house. The problem is that either one or all of them do their best to hide the things from the other dogs. A bit annoying to be honest. I’m sometimes lucky to find one toy because the one responsible for digging it down did a lousy job not covering it properly πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

These are called Finger mushrooms here.

The castle owners have cut down lots of trees lately. Only Spruces though because of the bark beetle.

My neighbor is out chopping fire wood. For some reason sandy ground lead the sound really well so I can hear it here in my cottage, the sound when the chopped logs fall to the wooden floor in their wood shed sounds really strange. At first it sounded as if someone fired away fireworks πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ For a while I did wonder if the Russians possibly could attack us so I went downstairs and opened the door and that’s when I realized he was chopping fire wood πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I can also hear when they use a hammer in their cellar, it’s really odd πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It would be nice to take a nap but I’m pretty sure that if I do I won’t be able to fall asleep tonight. Then again I know I’ll most likely fall asleep in front of the tv tonight so perhaps I just as well should take a nap πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

  1. The trees are looking very bare now, Christer, and I suspect that after the torrential rains we had today, the ones here will look the same if I am able to walk in the park by the end of the week when it has a chance to dry out. It sounds like your dogs are quite resourceful in knowing how to escape the dog pen.

    1. Some trees, like my black walnut, seems to refuse letting those old leafs go though πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      Alma unfortunately likes to search for weak spots and then start to work with them πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Thankfully we’ve had pouring rain here for two days and she hates that and have stayed indoors most of the time πŸ™‚ She’s quite intelligent when she likes to πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      Have a great day!

      Christer.
