Finally cooling down!

Yesterday was horrible. We didn’t set a new heat record but it was still the hottest day in 73 years. Here in the village it reached 36C (96,8F) before it slowly, slowly started to get less hot. I really don’t want to go through that kind of heat again but most likely I will because […]

The beginning of our three day heat wave.

  It has been hot here today, Scandinavian hot that is, 28C (82,4F) and it isn’t nice at all. No problem at the beginning of it though because we had a strong and cool wind blowing but when the wind died out so did our energy 🙂 Alma tried to be full of energy for […]

I really don’t like to change phone.

Another rather nice day, at least after a while. The morning was quite chilly but we had sunshine and the flies were still hiding in the vegetation trying to stay warm. We went out on a short walk because Nova didn’t seem to want to go at all. She isn’t as alert that she once […]

A little surprise thunderstorm.

The weather has been rather mixed today. Quite warm and very windy. Lots of clouds but still lots of sunshine and one surprising shower with five lightnings hitting not too far away to the south west of the village. I had almost all windows open but the ones in the living room when I looked […]

Lots of napping today :-)

I really haven’t done much today besides napping for a couple of hours and going through the dogs checking for ticks. The rainy weather really brought out those nasty critters again. We have very few slugs and snails though so that’s at least something. It stayed towards the chilly side until noon today. It was […]

Sometimes I’m glad they don’t like rain :-)

The weather is the most exciting thing happening here lately. Sometimes the sun shine, sometimes the rain fall and every now and again a rather wimpish thunderstorm passes by. I did order a new slow cooker. I looked at the best in test 2022 a Crok-pot  (4,7 liters, 1,24 gallon US) was the best one. […]

We had thunder but I didn’t notice it :-)

I knew that we would get both clouds and rain and most possibly thunder later today so we went out on our walk as soon as we had woken up because the sun was shining and it was cool and nice outside. Just enough warm for the forest flies to fly around but cool enough […]

Almost cold in the morning :-)

it was hotter than in hell here in the cottage yesterday evening, well outside as well to be honest. The fan was working hard to help us make slightly less cooler than melting 🙂 I did manage to fall asleep and wasn’t the least annoyed when I woke up in the middle of the night […]

I think it hoped we wouldn’t see it :-)

It hasn’t been as nice as they said it would be today but it has still been pretty nice weather anyway. A bit on the chilly side as soon as the clouds covered the sky. Those times were perfect to take naps on 🙂 It is always interesting to watch how they change the weather […]

I didn’t expect that :-)

We’e had a rather nice day again, mostly sunny till afternoon arrived but now a sheet of grey clouds cover the sky. It’s just above 20C (68F) with a kind lukewarm wind blowing. I’ve had the kitchen door open since early morning so the dogs have been able to go out and in as they’ve […]

I’m pretty sure it’ll stay a while.

I’m slightly worse today than yesterday so I have mostly been sleeping to be honest. The kitchen door has been open though so the dogs have been able to go outside and play almost all day. I had to close the door twice because of heavy showers passing by and the lightning app warned about […]

It’s always fun to get a summer cold.

I sound like I have been drinking whiskey and smoking twenty four seven for the last thirty years 🙂 My throat hurts and it feels like fever comes and goes as it pleases. I did feel a bit off yesterday but thought it was just being Friday and I’m getting up at 3:30 am in […]
