If I’ve learned something today it’s that it is always best to be patient :-)

Written by Christer.
I managed to take two photos of the morning mist from the window upstairs.

Much the same nice weather today as yesterday but with stronger wind so the flies kept calm even in the forest. There was morning mist left when I woke up but it was all gone by the time we went out on our morning walk. We might have a chance of morning mist at least tomorrow and possibly on Saturday but they’re guessing it will rain on Sunday.

     

I went to the hospital to get my new shoes and insoles today but first I had to drive in the opposite direction to get a package in Gudhem. I had had a pot of tea before I drove away and I also bought a soda in the grocery store. By the time I came to the hospital I started to feel the need to find a toilet but every time I went there it was occupied so I thought to myself that it wouldn’t take that long to get to the village where I work to find a toilet I could use.

     

I didn’t think of all the harvesters on the road now so it took much longer than I thought it would, so suddenly I felt rather desperate. No one at work today but I have the keys and the security code for the alarm. Then I had this genius idea to loosen the belt because it pressed towards the stomach. I want to teach You one thing while I’m on this little planet of ours, never do that!!! It was like opening a dam. Well I almost made it to work when I finally couldn’t hold it any more 🙂 🙂 🙂 I rushed in to a little wooded area beside the factory 🙂 It wasn’t that horrible because when the pressure became less I could hold it in but I still had to go inside the factory to clean up both me and my clothes 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

So have I learned something today? Yes never drink too much before going somewhere, be patient and wait so I can use the toilet where I am and I’m not young any more because if this had happened when I was in my twenties I would never have shared that with anyone 🙂 🙂 🙂  Besides this very little has happened today, I did however get a bag of plums from my neighbors. At first I thought I would make jam from them but then I tasted one and now I have no left, tomorrow will be a day spent not far from the bathroom I think 🙂

Finally! One of the Texas lupines that looks like it is supposed to, all the other ones has had just a few flosers at most except one that only had one flower. So I’ll make sure to save the seeds from this one and hope that the seedlings will turn out as its parent.
I’ve always believed that all strawberries were spring flowers, my starts now 🙂

 

Nova has finally gotten her appetite back and today she even spent some time with the rest of us in the garden 🙂

I think I’ll skip the tea tonight 🙂 but I think I’ll have some yogurt or quark with vanilla taste, it’ almost as good as ice cream to be honest and since I’ve eaten the last ice cream and the ice cream lorry doesn’t come here until next Wednesday I’ll have the quark 🙂

Have a great day!

  2. Those morning mist photos are stunningly beautiful. Thanks for sharing them.

    Your mention of quark raised my curiosity so I did a little research. It has been described in some sources as soft cheese and other sources describe that its USA closest equivalent is yogurt – particularly the thick Greek-style yogurt.
    At times I prefer to have Greek-style yogurt with mixed fresh berries rather than ice cream.

    One tree in your walk photos appears to have round green fruit that I can’t clearly see well enough to identify whether they are unripe apples, other unripe fruit or possibly nuts such as walnut?

    1. Hi Denali Sam!

      I would say that it’s like a thicker version of Greek yogurt, I’ve even used it to pancakes when I haven’t had any jam. I guess one could use it as a soft cheese but even if it is thick it would slowly run off the sandwich or what ever one want it to. It seems it comes in a lot of flavors but vanilla and raspberry seems to be the most popular and the one without anything added to it. Think it would work really good natural to make sauce or in a salad perhaps.

      It’s apples growing on the crabapple tree on our way out to the bog or down to the creek. They are actually quite tasteful even though a slightly bitter aftertaste. They’ll turn red when ripe.
