We have thunder in the area, not especially close at the moment but one can clearly hear it. The day started sunny and cool though so we were out on our morning walk around 7 am. It was unfortunately not cool enough to keep the flies calm so we had a black cloud flying around us. I wore a hoodie though so they never got the chance to visit inside my ears and for some reason wearing a hoodie also prevents them from trying to go inside my nostrils as well 🙂 🙂
It didn’t take long before the rain arrived again so we have mostly stayed indoors and went outside when the rain had a temporary stop. So I did the laundry and baked a bread in between 🙂 I also took a long nap in the sofa and this time both dogs decided they should sleep beside me in the sofa 🙂 🙂 🙂 Alma by my feet and Malkolm by my side with half his body over my stomach. I’m surprised that I managed to fall asleep but it could have been the lack of oxygen since it was a bit hard to breathe that was the cause 🙂 🙂 🙂
We did have sunshine for a while but now we’re back to rain and thunder is not far away. It is much warmer than they guessed it would be so I hope the thunder passes by and cool things down a bit. It’s rather quiet in the village, some birds sing and one dog is yapping a lot. Normally that starts most other dogs as well but I guess they don’t have the energy now when it is so warm 🙂 I think someone on my gravel road is trying to repair an old moped because I could hear how they were trying to start it up the road but then just slid down the slope quietly. It has happened several times this week so I guess they aren’t especially successful 🙂
I have the day off tomorrow because I need to go to the bank to see if they can help me renew my digital bank id without me having to get something called an international id card or get a new passport. A new drivers license doesn’t help at all for some reason. So I’ll also buy a couple of big bags with soil and on the way home make a visit to my old workplace and the grocery store in the same village. it will most likely rain anyway so it’ll be a nice little trip to do.
It is time for a pot of tea and perhaps something to eat as well.
Have a great day!

We could use a good rain here, but none is in the forecast. What we will be getting is more hot temps for the net few days , then rain is forecast afterwards. Hope that you get the digital ID straightened out. Are you looking forward to visiting your former workplace and hopefully seeing some of your work mates?

Hi Beatrice!
It’s pouring down here at the moment and it’ll rain tomorrow as well but after that it’ll be sunny and warm for a while. I don’t mind the rain yet since I’ll be working all summer 🙂 🙂
It was so much easier than I thought it would be to fix the bankId thing 🙂 I’ll tell You more about it tomorrow I think.
I usually give them a visit when I’m in the area, not many people around since it is vacation time but the right people were there 🙂

At the moment we are having a line of thunderstorms that pour like crazy for just a few minutes, and then the sun pops back out. It’s darkening and thundering for the fourth time now.
I was on the computer when the first one started. It suddenly went from full sun to pouring in buckets. I had a pot of daisies out on the deck I didn’t want to get smashed, and I got soaked in the few seconds it took me to bring them in.
This series of little storms is very unusual. Normally, it’s just one big downpour and then we’re done and it’s even steamier.

Hi catsworking!
No thunder today but the rain is pouring down. It’s quite nice and I’ve had the kitchen door open so th dogs have done some raids outside every now and again 🙂 🙂
The things we do to save the things we like 🙂 and with rain like that it’s impossible to just hurry outside and back in without getting soaked 🙂 🙂
It’s quite the opposite here most times, small thunderstorms passing by with nicer weather in between 🙂 and it used to cool down quite considerable but that’s not the case any more, the humidity just makes it so much worse 🙂 🙂 🙂
