It felt like an autumn day.

The temperature never rose above 12C (53,6F) today and I think that if I hadn’t known it will rise up to 20C (68F) already tomorrow it would have annoyed me quite a bit πŸ™‚ but I have to say it did feel rather nice despite it also raining well in to the afternoon. We needed […]

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 […]

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 […]

So much colder than I thought it would be.

My neighbours keep finding the Monsters old collars in their garden, this one has been lost for at least six months πŸ™‚ The night was much colder that I thought it would be, it was -7C (19,4F) when we went out on our morning walk and I could see that my neighbour had had to […]

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 […]

Well I didn’t expect that would happen.

  So I left the cottage to release another mouse from the box trap before having the morning walk with the dogs. Β I was a bit later than usual, around nine am even though I had been up since before six am just because it still was so cold after the night and a cold […]

Finally :-)

  Finally! It has been above 0C (32F) for almost all day and still is even though the sun is long gone. It was 4C (39,2F) as warmest and I’ve enjoyed every second of it πŸ™‚ I’ve also collected melt water for both my plants and aquarium. The rain water barrels are still deep frozen […]

The last big cold weather before it turns?

  Nast cold this morning and I would lie if I said it is much warmer now. So we haven’t had any walk yet because the snow is still so cold in places where the sun can’t reach it that it would risk damaging the dogs paws but the day isn’t over yet so there […]

Wildlife a bit too close.

  So another cold night and morning. We did actually have some sunshine even though it shone through thin clouds. We managed to have the beginning of our morning walk while it was calm but the closer we came to home the more the wind started to blow. Β We neither heard or saw any animals […]

Drama in the Olympics :-)

  Well I have tried to change the colours the text is in when someone commenting here but it turns out to be more tricky than I thought it would be πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ With the colours here now You can at least see what You are writing πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I’ll check it more later […]

Well it is winter.

  A rather grey and dull day today but thankfully just a weak wind blowing from east. I can’t remember when the wind came from east for this long in my life. Usually we get western winds from the ocean here and that’s when I don’t notice them at all here in the garden πŸ™‚ […]
