Christmas isn’t that far away.

Less than one month to christmas or Jul (Yule) as we call it and it is even less left until it stops getting darker and turns toward longer days again. Even though December is just as grey and dreary as any winter month it still feels better just because Christmas really starts at December first. […]

The wind is the same but now it’s raining.

So if yesterdays weather looked nice from indoors todays wetaher doesn’t and isn’t either 🙂 There was at least no wind in the earky morning when we went out for our walk but it did rain consistently for the entire hour we were outside. To be honest, none of the dogs wanted to take a […]

We’ve had quite a lovely day here today. It started a bit cloudy but was warm enough for me to only have a sweater when walking with the dogs. That would have been enough even when it was as coldest here as well since it at least was impossible not to boil while walking with […]

Not as uneventful as I wish it had been :-)

WordPress have lowered the amount of gigabyte I can use for free, from 3 GB to 1Gb and that would mean I would have to start a new blog so often that I finally caved in and bought more space. Now I have 6GB per year but I’ll have to pay for it. So from […]

Easter continues.

So easter continues and today most families gather for easter dinner (well could be lunch as well, the thing is that relatives who can’t stand each other normally now do and after this they usually don’t meet until midsummer again 🙂 🙂 ) Like always we swedes eats loads of pickled herring, personally I can’t […]

Happy Easter!

So easter has begun, well at least the holidays because I guess one really should say that easter started on Monday. Weather has been so nice the week that no big amounts of cranes has gathered by the lake. twelve thousand as most but there’s still a wall of sound from the lake while they […]

Another rather wonderful day here. The night was pretty cold but after the sun rose the temperature also rose fairly quickly. Yesterday we had around 20 cm (8 inches) of snow on the gravel roads and today big parts of the roads were snow free 🙂 They still haven’t changed the wetaher forecasts so we’ll […]

We almost had spring for a while.

It really was spring like here for a while so I thought I might start here again, then the rain came and now it snows. They tend to change the weather forecasts faster than a spinning wind power plants but at the moment it looks like we’ll get nasty cold nights and barely survivable warm […]

Now he has to pay :-)

Nova is lying on her back beside my chair and demands belly rubbings. It’s a bit tricky to do that while typing and she also lets out the most horrible farts so I refuse to do any belly rubbing on her right now 🙂 🙂 🙂 She is very picky when it comes to where […]

Well I’m still alive :-)

These last days have been a bit tough. Sneezing during days and coughing during nights. The throat has sometimes been really nasty but it is amazing how much better it feels after having half a teaspoon with honey slowly melting down the throat. The pain almost goes away totally after just ten minutes. It’s important […]
