It is snowing again and will continue for a day or two more. How much we’ll get is hard to guess since they change the amount on the web sites all the time. It will most likely stay for the rest of the week but after that they’re guessing we’ll get warmer temperatures again. I’m not surprised though because as the first Crane arrives here we usually get at least one more snow storm before spring really arrives.
The two days previous to this one was quite wonderful though, a bit chilly in the mornings but sunny and temperatures rose to 10C (50F) and above. Lots more Cranes have arrived though so now I can hear them every morning as soon as I go outside 🙂 I’ve also heard the Larch and the Eurasian curlew. The last one has become a bit rare so I always enjoy hearing it again. So even if spring has reached a temporary halt it feels good to know it’s just around the corner.
I’ve been a bit busy now, well busy isn’t perhaps the right word but I have been to an interview at a staffing agency for a job in the same village as where I worked before but for another company. I must say it did feel like a good meeting so now I’ll have to wait and see what happens. The staffing agency will now recommend the people they think will work well for that company so all I can do now is to wait and hope for the best.
A while ago the employment agency asked if I wanted the help from a job coach and I said why not and today I met her for the first time. She asked me what I had done so far to get a job and it turns out I’m doing what they want me to do. I’ll have a talk with her over the phone every second week and meet her in person the other weeks. When I returned back home she had mailed me some links to companies looking for hiring people. So tomorrow I’ll send an application to each place, as long as the orange idiot doesn’t disturb the world too much I might have a chance.
I would say that the cold is gone but the coughing isn’t. Still very little coughing during nights thankfully. Lots of people have that cold or flu or what ever it is at the moment so I guess I should be happy about having it early especially now when we’ll get winter weather back. I could at least go outside to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather, those having it now just have to suffer through it and not have anything to make the day better.
Our morning walk was quite nice though, despite the cold wind and dark skies. We walked out to the bog and stood at the end of the peninsula. Alma is behaving so much better now, even the whining is quieting down. We stood there at the end looking out over the bog, all quiet, when we suddenly heard something walking towards us in the thicket. Two wild hogs that must have known we were there suddenly showed themselves to us. This was a bit too much for Alma so she started to whine a lot, so they slowly turned away from us and walked in to the thicket again. I did however get a photos of one of them, even if it only was the back side of it 🙂
It is time for something to eat, haven’t had dinner today. Thinking something easy like sausage and baked white beans. I’ll have my last cup of tea for the day after that 🙂
Have a great day!

Best wishes on your job search and finding one soon. The orange maniac has said before that he wishes more people from Norway would come to the U.S. The idiot actually thinks any Norwegian would want to give up all the benefits of living there to be here getting threatened and terrorized by a mental patient every day. We pray for someone for find way to have a net thrown over him so he can be taken to a place where he can get help, or at least go on trial for his lifetime of crime and now treason.
His only beef against Sweden would be joining NATO, but he hasn’t been complaining about that, so maybe he forgot or nobody told him.
We in the United States sit here watching him sink the stock market so we lose all our investments and savings, while his clown buddy Elon dismantles all the retirement benefits we paid for our whole lives so we won’t have those to live on, either. We’re in frightening times. Count your blessings you are in Sweden and your government isn’t being run by lunatics and cowards.

Hi catsworking!
He sure does need to be taken somewhere to be treated for what ever is wrong in his head and they can bring the rest of the gang as well.
Well ha has praised us for our school system a few days ago. Our school system is a wreak and a disaster so I’m not surprised that he likes it. Here anyone can start a school, get money from the state and then take out as much profit as they please and they do. They need to keep the grades high enough though so now we have a grade inflation, so kids graduating school has wonderful grades but knows absolutely nothing!!!
Our problem is that our economy almost entirely depends on our export so we are extremely vulnerable to what happens to other countries as well. So no matter if we are liked by him or not we still never can feel safe from him 🙂 🙂 🙂

I hope the staffing agency gets you a great job that pays well and is interesting. In the meantime, you can practice being retired. It’s not as easy as it looks. 🙂
The weather here today was beautiful! It was 62F, pure sun and blue skies and not a lot of wind. I took the dogs to the lake. It was a little windier at the lake but still lovely. We only walked half the path we usually walk because Rocky’s wobbly but he was happy to be there and even trotted a fair amount. They met a couple of dogs and played a bit. Tomorrow there will be snow flurries. It’s March. I found 4 croci in the side yard. Things are looking up.
I found the boar in the photo. The birds are singing every morning in spite of the cold winds. There were two turkeys in front of my house this morning. It was good to see them again. Of course, my camera was inside the house so no photos.

Hi Caryn!
I do hope so too but there’s always the lottery 🙂 🙂 🙂
I do practice being retired all the time now 🙂 🙂 Kind of like it 🙂
Sounds like a nice walk but today is anything but nice here, lots of snow falling and a nasty wind but it can’t reach while walking in the forest and it doesn’t reach my garden 🙂 Not much singing from the birds today and it will most likely be the same tomorrow because it will continue to snow they say.
Isn’t it always like that, no camera and that’s when things happen 🙂 🙂 🙂
