A really nice day.

We have had a really nice day after a rather damp and chilly morning. It felt like it should be frost but it was all the humidity (98%) that made it feel so bad. That changed as soon as the sun rose and made life so much nicer. The good thing with these cold mornings […]

The forest is colourful now.

We didn’t have frost last night and neither did we have any fog, at least I don’t think so. For once I woke two hours later than usual so I can’t say for sure that no fog ever showed up here. We went out on our morning walk as soon as the sun had risen […]

We’ve had really mixed weather this week.

We’ve had very mixed weather here this week, anything from sunny and Scandinavian hot to almost chilly and heavy rain. Today however has been rather nice, cool and sunny morning, a few hours with cloudy weather and now sunny and just enough warm. Strong winds blowing all wee though. Wee went down to the creek […]

Just as chilly today.

It’s bit chilly again today (and they’re saying it will be the same tomorrow but turn warmer on Tuesday. We’re lucky if it reaches 18C (64,4F) today. I don’t mind after the long heatwaves we’ve had. The morning was quite nice though, no wind, the sun rising and a few birds singing. It must have […]

They tried again.

The morning was cool and nice but after that it has become warmer and warmer again, still the real heatwave won’t arrive until early next week. The temperatures will rise to around 30C (86F) and possibly a bit higher as well. That’s when I’m so happy about working all mornings cleaning a big pool πŸ™‚ […]

A bit chilly before the next heatwave.

So it was only 2C (35,6F) last night, when we went up and out, way too early, it had risen to 4C (39,2F) and I would lie if I said it felt nice πŸ™‚ Still it really woke me up and gave me a good start to the working day πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Anyway, so […]

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 […]

We had company this morning.

Sunny morning and frost again but just below 0C (32F) so it didn’t feel that cold. The Cuckoo birds sound echoed all over the village and the bog. I heard it coming from north the first time and that means we’ll have another dry summer. The saying is that if one hear it from north […]

Cold night but no moose.

It’s really annoying because they’ve changed things here on WP and not for the better I’m afraid, now I need to re-learn how to put in photos here in the post and I don’t like it. Before I had a bar above what I wrote where I easily could just press a media button and […]

I didn’t expect to meet that on our walk.

Greylags on they way out to the bog. A beautiful sunrise and a cold morning, not as cold as yesterday but cold enough to kill the plants that had survived yesterday but was badly hit by the frost yesterday. My neighbours tomato plants said good buy and the one I had in the greenhouse Β that […]

Nasty arctic winds.

  Just as cold this morning as it was yesterday, -6C (21,2F) and that was one night too many for the annuals I put in the greenhouse to see how well they would do if the night would be as cold as that. Β Still a bitterly cold arctic wind blowing so it didn’t feel as […]

Warm weather is on the way.

  Yesterday was horrid, nasty cold and strong winds directly from the arctic and cloudy almost all day. Not even the dogs wanted to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time. I had turned off the radiator in my bedroom so I woke up freezing in the middle of the night […]
