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 […]

More mushroom picking.

I had planned on having a long nap today, instead I once again fried mushrooms in butter. The last time that resulted in 1,496 Kg (around 3.3 lbs), today I can put 993 grams (2,2 lbs) in the freezer again 🙂 To be honest I do eat a lot of mushrooms but I don’t think […]

I’ve done my duty.

So today we have the elections for a new parliament and also elections for our regions and counties. We always have our elections on the second Sunday in September so we know that as many as possible can go and vote. We can of course pre vote but I don’t think we can send any […]

A busy day.

I would have loved to sleep a little bit longer today but I woke up at 4 am and since the dogs noticed I had very little choice than to get up, go outside and check if Doris the badger was in the or not before I could let the dogs outside. Also, the Monster […]

Heavy showers and thunder.

This spider lives at one of the kitchen windows, looks more scary than she actually is 🙂 So we were supposed to have rain all day today so I wasn’t the least surprised that the sun shone here for several hours. The rain did come after a while though and how it rained 🙂 Heavy […]

A rather nice day.

The rain is pouring down and all it took to make it start was my neighbour going outside working on their cottage 🙂 🙂 We did have some sunshine during the early day but clouds arrived pretty early and we had some drizzle as worst. Ten minutes in on him going outside and the rain […]

The beginning of autumn?

I’ve already felt that there’s change in the air but even though it has been rather warm today that feeling is much stronger. Could be because the trees now are dropping their leafs but I think that’s mostly because of the drought we still have despite the latest rain and perhaps because of the rain […]

Still summer warm.

Summer is back and today it was even Scandinavian hot (over 25C (77F) ) but we had a weak but cool wind blowing so I really couldn’t complain. It will cool down on Friday and if they’re right we’ll have plenty of rain during the entire weekend and beyond. I will not complain 🙂 This […]

Almost as nice today :-)

The weather has been nice today but not as nice as yesterday. Mostly because the clouds stayed for much longer this morning than they did yesterday morning and we’ve had some wind and three drops of rain. All in all though it has been one of the nicer days this summer 🙂 We walked out […]

A rather perfect day weather-wise.

I thought it would be cold here this morning because yesterday evening had a cold bite in the air. It didn’t stay clear though so very little morning mist but 8C (46,4F) and no wind. The dogs woke me up at 3:45 and it did sound as if they really needed to go outside. So […]

I’m tired of this drought now!

Yesterday was horrible, temperature wise. 30C (86F) and the wind just made it worse by being warm as well. Everything dried out so I had lots of watering to do when I came back home from work. It did help some but there are lots of roots looking for those few drops of water they […]
