So much rain and I want more.

It has rained here since yesterday afternoon, I don’t have a rain meter but a friend of mine has gotten just more than an inch of rain. I now have two full water barrels and three on they way to become that and each can contain around 325 litres (around 84 gallons US). I think they all will be full after this weekend since they’re guessing we’ll have lots of rain all the time ๐Ÿ™‚

The dogs aren’t that happy about it though ๐Ÿ™‚ first they become wet and after they’ll have to be cleaned and dried. I can understand becoming more wet is less fun but Since they don’t like that why on earth is it so terrible to be dried after? ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ After all they didn’t want to be wet from the beginning ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

Must be over 100 cranes in the field.

I was gone a big part of yesterday visiting a city called Boris. I think the traffic in Falkรถping, a small town in comparison, is bad. The traffic in Borรฅs was much worse and I this was around lunch time when traffic is slow ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ Also the GPS in my phone refused to show me where I was for some reason, so I knew where I should be but had no idea if I actually was there or at least close ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ll tell You more about it next week.

Two days in a row now the temperature never reached 10C (50F) but today it barely passed ๐Ÿ™‚ It will become much warmer from Monday but I’m happy as long as we don’t have frost during the night ๐Ÿ™‚ I think it must have been close to snowfall here because the temperature dropped down to almost 0C (32F). We didn’t get it but some places further south of here had snow when they woke up.

I’ve already had a pot of tea but I’m thinking of making another one, my kidneys will have to work overtime ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ I might have a bowl with yogurt later on but I’m not especially hungry for once. The sun is actually showing itself now, won’t last for long though, the clouds slowly arriving here are very dark led grey ๐Ÿ™‚

Have a great day!

    We got some rain today, too. Maybe a bit more tonight. Tomorrow will be grey and cold. After that it will get hot and humid. The weather reporter said we should think about installing our AC units this weekend (in the cold and wet) because next week is going to be in the high 80s Fahrenheit.

    It looks very green where you are. Like a northern rain forest.

      Hi Caryn!

      Lots of sun in the morning and mostly cloudy after that, so warm and nice in the sunshine and so cold and nasty when the clouds cover the sky ๐Ÿ™‚ Some rain on and off here but nothing that shows in the water barrels.
      It’ll get warm here too next week, Scandinavian warm that is so absolutely no need for an AC ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

    It has been cool this week in Virginia, really perfect weather to clean all the tree crap off the cars, but instead I’ve been sick all week with COVID. I caught it from getting my teeth cleaned. The dentist’s was the only time/place I was around people. They wore masks, but a tool must have been infected.

    I had managed to never have COVID until now, but it finally got me. I think I had the strain they’ve been calling “razor blade throat” because that’s what it felt like.

    They predict mid-90sF for the weekend and next week and dry, but we really need rain.

    The guy who mows my yard should have come today, but I told him to wait another week. I don’t want my weeds newly cut when it turns very hot and dry.

      Hi catsworking!

      Too bad about getting Covid! I hope it doesn’t stay for long!

      I’ve had it a couple of times but the first time was the worst and I actually thought I would die. That was before any vaccine was made, the second time wasn’t fun either but more like a nasty cold.I haven’t heard about that one, good to know just in case I’ll get it!

      We will get around 68F here next week and that’s summer temperatures for us ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ We’ve had some more rain but nothing that can be noticed in the water barrels.
      I think I’ll need to mow next week because of the rain and then warm weather, the compost will be happy to get new food ๐Ÿ™‚

        My fever was finally gone yesterday morning so I think I am through it. Still have the cough and I sound like a frog, but feel fine. It just s a very nasty virus! Hope I never see it again. Three times was more than your share.

        Hi catsworking!

        I’m glad to read that! Coughs always outstay their welcome to be honest:-) just as long as the fever is gone it’s a good sign ๐Ÿ™‚

        Yes I felt the first time was more than enough ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ what makes it worse is that, for a short time after, get even more sick from the vaccine. Last time the fever reached 41C (105.8F)for almost a day. It’s bad to have a fever when being sick but really shitty to have one when one isn’t ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

        I always have a bad reaction to the COVID vaccine and feel lousy the whole next day with a little fever around 100-101F.

        Got my last booster about 6 months ago, but didnโ€™t get a reminder to update it like I usually do, then I caught COVID. I donโ€™t even know if they are updating the vaccine anymore. With that lunatic KennedyJr saying all vaccines are bad, I donโ€™t know if anyone knows what to trust anymore.

        I have my annual checkup tomorrow, it happens, so Iโ€™ll ask my doctor if he has any idea. But I guess since I just had COVID I shouldnโ€™t get a shot. But then I read that now they think these new strains donโ€™t give you any immunity. What a mess.

        So annoying since some people don’t feel anything at all!

        Kennedy Jr was really the wrong man in any place really. I wonder how many deaths he’s responsible for now and how many it will be when he in one way or the other is removed?

        It’s like the influenza, it changes so quickly that the old vaccines won’t help at all. One can only hope that it in the end will mutate towards something like a common cold.
