So a new year is here and I doubt that it’ll be any different from the last one. Well there’s a risk that many will lose their jobs because of a recession but otherwise I’m pretty sure it’ll stay the same. I never have any higher hopes for a coming year and that’s why I never feel disappointed about how it ended up 🙂 🙂 🙂 Over here the year started grey and dull, some drizzle and thankfully some fog. If we won’t have any sunshine I think we at least should have some fog 🙂
Yesterday when we were out walking in the morning we walked down to the creek. We walk a lot there now since the dogs still are a bit hesitant to walk out on the bog, even when we just walk out on the peninsula they’re a bit more attentive than usual. So anyway we were walking down the long gravel road to the creek when Albin suddenly started to look behind us. At first just a glance every now and again but then he stopped, turned around and took a long look behind us. I must admit that it feels a bit worrisome when a dog like Albin does something like that 🙂 🙂 🙂 Nova rarely cares about what happens behind us and Alma, well Alma is like she is and rarely notice anything 🙂 🙂
We followed the creek out to the fields and then suddenly Nova too realizes that something is close to us and she starts to hurry. I wasn’t really worried until Alma reacted as well 🙂 🙂 but suddenly instead of looking behind us they all started to look towards our left side. I could never see anything but the dogs were all in a hurry to get home. Later when it had become dark and was going outside in the garden they went to the side of the cottage, sniffed some in the air and went back indoors. I was out there too, with my headlamp on but I still couldn’t see anything out there. We walked the same way today and none of them seemed to care about anything and behaved just like always. I must say though that Alma behaved really well yesterday and today she barely pulled the leash at all. That in it self is a very strange behaviour from her 🙂 🙂 🙂
Besides that very little has happened here. I wasn’t up when we went in to the new year, I rarely am to be honest. I did start to look at the film Murder on the Orient Express but I must admit that it wasn’t as good as I remembered it to be. Mostly I was annoyed about the man playing Hercule Poirot changed his accent from time to time, he’s supposed to have a french accent byt every now and again he did sound more like he came from Italy 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I never finished it but instead went to bed 🙂 🙂 🙂 There are never any fireworks here since we have lots of cattle and horses here so it was almost as quiet as it always is here. I could hear fireworks from a far distance but that was it. I still have a weeks vacation before I have to go back to work and I’ll enjoy every second of it 🙂
Have a good continuing of the new year!
Happy New Year to you, too, Christer. Another week vacation is a great way to start the year.
It’s always worrisome when the dogs act like something is out there and you can’t see what it is but whatever it is it’s following you. Spooky.

Hi Christer, it was nice to find this New Year’s post and we send our best wishes to you for a happy and healthy 2023. From the photos you posted, it does look like the year has got off to a dreary-looking start as I much preferred to see the snow❄️ We have warm temps, no snow, and rain coming for later this week. Hope you have some better weather for the rest of your vacation time.

Happy New Year, Christer
Winter can be so dark and no sun makes days seem ugly. Tomorrow we’ll have yet another rain storm. We had days of rain the last week or so.
Henry is a barker. He drives me crazy. I bought one of those shock collars for him but haven’t used it yet. I’m afraid he’ll hate me, but a friend told me it worked on her dog, and he still loves her.
I had begun ignoring Henry. One day I saw a package on the steps which was the reason he was barking that time. How would I know? He barks at everything. I decided to pay attention. I realized he has a different bark for a real person at the door than he does for the wind or a car or who knows what else. He still drives me crazy but he does announce a package.
