The Cottage by the crane lake.

We didn’t have any walks today the dogs and I. My body is aching everywhere and today was not a day when having dogs pulling the leash would be a good idea 🙂 🙂 🙂 (so the photos You see were taken two days ago and perhaps I’ll toss in a photo taken with my analog cameras).

I’m used to pain since I have rheumatism but today is a bit above that 🙂 🙂 🙂 It is for some reason easier to walk up the stairs than down 🙂 🙂 🙂 The weather hasn’t been that wonderful anyway, ok it is wind free and fairly warm or warmish at least but no sunshine.

I didn’t just sit still though, that would only make it worse. Instead I secured the green house for storm winds. I had already bought a set with ground anchors, wires and the small things like screws. The anchors are the kind that one simply screw down in to the ground. The thing was that I only could find three even though I know I should have four. So I walked around looking for it (I have every now and again used them for other things 🙂 🙂 🙂 ) well while I did that I found a very similar thing, it was for a dog I had and it is a kind of screw that is screwed down in to the ground and one fastens the leash in it.

I never used it though so since it had the same size and works the same way I used it. The problem was that while looking for the fourth anchor I lost the third 🙂 🙂 🙂 This is nothing new but sometimes it scares me 🙂 🙂 I looked for two hours and just couldn’t find it. So I decided to make a pot of tea and take a small break. I had old tea leafs that I needed to bring to my compost and for some reason I wasn’t surprised to see the anchor lying on the compost 🙂 🙂 🙂 So now if a storm comes and the wind actually can reach the green house it should be safe from blowing away 🙂 🙂 at least in theory 🙂

I also found the holder to the ventilation window, it had fallen down beside the big compost so I could attach that and it was fairly easy. so while I was at it I also fastened the door handle so now I’m done for the moment because I’ve ordered a sort of tent pegs for greenhouses. Amazon had good ones that will be screwed down with the help of a drilling machine. It’s not as if I don’t trust the storm anchors but I only have sand in the ground and it just feels like I would be able to pull them up by hand 🙂 🙂 This was the first time I’ve ordered anything from Amazon and so far so good 🙂 Amazon isn’t that big over here since we already have many similar sites we rather go to instead.

I hope I’ll be able to have walks tomorrow, if not for any other reason than that the dogs need to be somewhere else than here. It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and later I’ll check what’s on tv.
