Today was really nice despite no sunshine but it was warm, no wind and a few times we had some rain. Showers of drizzle is perhaps a better name for it though 🙂 Alma woke me up at 5 am , was outside for a minute, came straight back in and went to sleep on the sofa 🙂 I wouldn’t have mind sleeping an hour or so too but I had a cup of coffee and a bowl of corn flakes instead 🙂
We walked down to the creek and it’s so nice to do that this time of year when there are no flies annoying us and what’s even better is that no mosquitoes did either. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about ticks, I picked six of them from the dogs by the time we had come home and I also found two already drinking the blood from Malkolm.
I tried three of a work friends allergy pills this week, the kind one can buy over the counter. First day nothing special happened beside the fact that I didn’t have any nose bleed any more, second day nothing happened at all but after the third pill I suddenly wasn’t that tired any more and now my nose isn’t that stuffed either, so I went online and bought a packet together with eye drops. It’s not a nice feeling when it feels like having sand paper under the eyelids 🙂 🙂 🙂
I also did what I always do on Sundays, the laundry and the dinner for next week ate work. I’ve promised to work overtime on Saturday and I’m already regretting it 🙂 🙂 🙂 Then again I’ll have to start saving money again so I can sacrifice one Saturday and still survive it 🙂 I have also sown melon seeds, I always fail with melons but always try it again 🙂 I have actually sown a lot of seeds both yesterday and today but can’t for my life remember what 🙂 🙂 I’ve also replanted tomatoes and some other things and brought out the last plants from the patio, the risk of frost the coming week is minimal.
The fight with the nettles and cleavers is also going on and even if I’m successful at the moment I know both will win over me in the long run 🙂 🙂 I still have lots of vegetable seeds to sow, like beans and peas but I’ll with with those until the ground is a bit warmer. It is time for that last cup of tea and perhaps a sandwich too and after that some snoozing in front of the tv 🙂
Have a great day!

Glad that you are feeling better with the medications, Christer. Thankfully, I have never had allergy issues, unlike Patrick, who deals with them every season by coughing and blowing his nose, a lot. We had a weekend of rain and now the sun is out, but only for a couple of days, as the forecast is for ore rain coming by the end of this week.
Bad news about the ticks, which may put me off from going for any walks in the nearby park for awhile especially after all the rainy weather. It is also very muddy there now as the ground has not had any time to dry out before the next week of rainy weather comes around 😟

Hi Beatrice!
The pills I ordered have arrived together with the eye drops today, so I hope that I in a couple of days will feel much better 🙂
I never had any allergies when I was a kid, they arrived later in life and the older I get the worse they become 🙂 🙂
When ever they’ve said we’ll get rain we’ve gotten very little so even though I love the weather we’re having now I wouldn’t mind a day or two with lots of rain 🙂
I think our tick situation would have been worse if we actually had gotten more rain, they really dislike dry weather because they too will dry out and die, so instead they bury themselves in the ground until it is humid enough for them. Nasty animals no matter what 🙂 🙂
