When it’s dark here it really is dark.

So I was at the job interview yesterday and I felt rather good afterwards. I went to another place in another town but he said the other place looked much the same and I really liked this place. Not especially big but it fitted a couple of cars that they were working on. So I think if not all but most cars had dents and plastic details sanded and painted but no bigger vehicles.Β 

He’ll cal me wether I get the job or not so now I’ll just have to wait. I can’t remember when the job ad will be removed but I guess it will be a week or two before I’ll hear anything. So until then I’ll just keep on enjoying every day as I have so far. Just hoping for sunnier weather because it is hard to be outside doing anything, especially since the dogs hate rain πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ We do need lots more to be honest since the groundwater levels still are really low and I hope that all the rain that fell yesterday has helped with that πŸ™‚

The water levels are really high now, not because of the rain but by beavers blocking the water πŸ™‚

0C (32F) this morning but I couldn’t see any frost when we went out on our morning walk. We had some sunshine but lots of clouds did their best to stop it. Still warm enough to keep the radiators off for a couple of hours. The neighbours have now moved out and it’s so boring to see how dark it is down there. When it is dark here it’s pitch black and it is impossible to see anything. I made a video or two showing that and I’ll see if I can find it. Many years old and other neighbours but still shows what it is like here during winter. It doesn’t help much with snow on the ground because it needs light to reflect and if we can’t see the moon it will still be just as dark πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I passed the big freezer in the supermarket the other day and they had giant (or are they called Jumbo) shrimp. I know one shouldn’t buy those since the “shrimp farms” destroy the mangroves, at least that was what happened years ago but perhaps they’ve managed to change that now days? Anyway I really wanted some Chinese food when I saw them, I really like deep fried shrimps but can’t really have them any more since they tend to have wheat in the dough. So I thought why not do it myself but with corn flour instead? Or should I just fry them even though it wouldn’t be the same.. Most of the time I really don’t think about not being able to eat anything with gluten but sometimes it’s really annoying πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It is time to make that last cup of tea for the day. For once they actually show something on tv that I want to see. It is called PΓ₯ SpΓ₯ret (On the tracks) where two two person teams tries to guess where a train (can also be some other kind of transport) will guess what the final destination (always a town) is. this trip can be from all over the world and they get clues all along the way, The earlier they can guess the destination the more points the team will get. Sometimes it’s really tricky but sometimes when it is a town nearby it’s easy of course πŸ™‚ People can also compete via the Swedish Television app if they like to. Β We’ve seen parts of the world one never could believe existed πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ No price money for the winners, only the honour πŸ™‚

There should be two videos below here where You can hear my voice explaining what You are watching πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

  1. It is so dark, you must be able to see millions or billions more stars than people who live where there’s more light at night. Like being at sea at night where you can’t tell where the water and sky meet at the horizon because it’s all black.

    1. Hi catsworking!

      I can see lots of stars and I guess galaxies up in the sky but we do have some light pollution from FalkΓΆping and Skara, the two closest towns. I sometimes take photos of the night sky and it is really hard to see the constellations in those photos, the camera catch so many more stars out there than the eyes do. No problems when looking up with only the eyes though πŸ™‚

      Yes being out at sea shows even more stars than here but our summers are so full of light almost all hours of the day/ night that I have actually never seen a star when I was out with my sailboat πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚
