We are supposed to have loads of rain today, bucket fulls of rain. We did have rain during the night, a soft and gentle summer rain but after that mostly drizzle as best. I’m sort of disappointed to be homes 🙂 Ok the day isn’t over yet and the Swedish weather site says lots of rain or very little in the evening while the Norwegian says sort of what we had during last night, not enough at all. I’m afraid the Norwegian site use to be the one one can trust.
I haven’t been just idling around waiting for the rain though, I’ve made a pasta sauce in the slow cooker and I’ve baked bread as well. Also I decided that I would start the filter in the aquarium again. It is filled with a quarter to what it can take because I thought the plants in it should survive just in case I would buy some fish again. I emptied since I had to work evening shift a couple of times and didn’t know how wild the dogs would be when I wasn’t at home. I would have liked to have them in the dog yard while I worked but since they bark at anything moving when it is dark outside they would wake up my neighbours and they are just too good to do something like that to.
It took me one hour to get the filter to actually work and not just sound as if it was working again 🙂 🙂 I did fill it with water as much as possible and it still refused to work. It turned out that even though it was filled it still had som much air inside that it couldn’t work. I’ve watered my tomato plants and tomatillo plants with the water that was inside the filter before I cleaned it. Aquarium water is an amazingly good fertiliser so I hope they will enjoy it 🙂 🙂
It is time for that last cup of tea for the day, I have in fact the cup beside me 🙂 The reason I made the pasta sauce is because I want to try and bake pierogies, something I’ve never done before. So I’ll put it in a lunch box and in the freezer until it is time to do it. For a while, long ago pierogies were the street food to eat but then the kebab came and now days very few actually seems to know what a real pierogi is. It’s actually raining outside again, still just a gentle summer rain though.
Have a great day!

A gentle summer rain is better than no rain and it will at least not run off quickly like summer downpours often do. We had some rain last week. It was supposed to be buckets of rain but I didn’t get that. Instead it was a mostly polite rain with a 5 minute mini thunder rant in the middle.
Isn’t it annoying when you keep coming across a tool or item that you don’t need right away but when you do need it it has completely disappeared? I have a habit of moving those things to a “safer” or “more logical” place. Then I can’t remember what was logical or safe about the pace I put them and can’t find them anymore until I don’t need them.
Alma has quite a patrician profile. Sarah’s red collar looks very good on her.
Sunny with moderate temperatures here so far. I’m contemplating removing the air condition from the window. It will probably be a heat wave right after I do that. 😀

Hi Caryn!
True. We didn’t get as much as I hoped but we had a gentle rain all night so everything look more alive now 🙂 We also had thunder passing to the west of us so I guess that’s where the most rai failed. In other places they barely got anything.
It is! I’m pretty sure I had it in the hallway by the entrance but now I just can’t find it at all 🙂 🙂 Would have been nice to have that extra water barrel last night and since I really want to have it I guess I’ll never find that saw again 🙂 🙂 🙂
She has and yes it does look good on the Monsterkitten 🙂
A light fog this morning but now the sun’s shining 🙂
