I’m having a long weekend and the weather is quite wonderful. Yesterday was a bit chilly even though the sun shone most parts of the day but the cold feeling from the day before when we had thunder, rain, hailstorms and snow falling really didn’t want to leave. Today it was gone though, no wind, sunshine, birds singing and the first annoying flies have arrived 🙂 🙂 It almost feels like summer.
Today I was expecting a package. Normally they just leave it outside my door but since it weighed more than 20 Kg (44 pound) I for some reason had to stay at home to get it. No problem since I had taken the day off anyway. My cottage can be seen very clearly when one drives down the slope but still the postal service employees can’t find my cottage!! I was standing by my gate looking at the driver passing my cottage, passing my neighbors cottage and stopping just before she reached the beekeepers cottage. There she stood for at least five minutes while I was shouting towards her and jumping and waving my hands. Turns out that she had called a college to ask for where I lived. Turns out that it helps to threaten to call the police if they missed me again 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’ve done one set of laundry today, all my work t-shirts. I’ve also mowed the lawn, the grass started to grow way too fast for my liking so I did it today, normally I do it on Saturdays or more often on Sundays. I have an electric mower, not a battery driven one, they just cost way too much and one need two batteries (and the batteries are insanely expensive) even to mow a small garden as mine is. So instead I have a long cord, well actually I have plenty of shorter ones and it works fine as long as I plan how to mow so I don’t have to cross the cord risking to cut it off 🙂 🙂 Instead I tend to step on is to the cord gets unplugged. I always sound as if i planned that stop by saying to my dogs why have You put that thing there 🙂 🙂 🙂
All I have left to do today, because the dogs and I had our pancake Sunday already today 🙂 is to bake two loafs of bread. I’m almost out of hard bread and I haven’t had any other kind of bread for several days, I must admit that I’ve been way too lazy to bake and the store bought ones are just gross. Turns out that my work friends wife just found out that she too most likely is gluten intolerant, she’s just a few years younger than me. So I told my work friend who I think bought everything gluten free he could find, that she should bake her own bread because she will not like the one she can buy unless she loves toast insanely much 🙂 🙂 I tried two new gluten free cookie variants I found in the store, they were just as awful as all other cookies I’ve bought. So so far there’s only one edible cookie and it’s an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips in it.
It’s time to give the dogs their dinner and after that a walk in the forest and then baking those breads. I’ll sow something as well, most likely broccolo (a sort of in between broccoli and cauliflower) Looks more like a greenish cauliflower but tastes more like broccoli, a good thing since I really don’t like cauliflower 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!

Christer,
It looks like summer is there with everything so green. Nala would be off and running if she saw any critters. Even in the backyard she has been a mighty hunter. She even brings inside her dead prey.
I hate doing laundry but my washer needs a serviceman so my last laundry was taken to a place where it was done for me. It was such a pleasure I didn’t care what it costs.
Everything here is dry as we haven’t had rain or a while, but we are supposed to have rain all day tomorrow. I hope so!!

Hi Kat!
It does feel like summer but to be honest that would be too early, I guess that we now have entered presummer. Not quite summer bit a bit too warm for it to be spring 🙂
Nova is the only one leash free and she doesn’t give a s..t about wildlife 🙂 🙂 🙂 Alma and Albin would run after it and that would be the last thing I would see of them 🙂 🙂 🙂
I don’t know if we have those places that do laundry, unless it’s dry cleaning. I do remember a laundromat from when I was a kid around 54 years ago 🙂 🙂 🙂
Just found out that there actually is a laundromat in Stockholm, our capital, so we do have at least one in this country 🙂 🙂 🙂 All apartment buildings or every apartment (where they don’t have) have laundry rooms one can use and they are really good. One just mark what date and hour one wants to use it.
That last rain/ hail and snow storm we had really soaked the ground here.
Have a great day!
