Back to work again.

It is raining and thunder is closing in as well. We didn’t have any thunder at all when the heatwave was here or when the cold weather started but now we’ve had it several times. I hope it won’t be as bad as it was the last time because it lasted for hours and sometimes […]

The rain has given back what the drought took away :-)

The weather has really been mixed today. Steady rain in the early morning but after that it has been mixed between heavy showers and sunshine. One minute sunshine and one minute showers just to go back to sunshine again. The dogs refused to go outside until rather late for being us so when we finally […]

I could have mowed it all.

Nova decided that we should walk in the forest this morning and it was so cool that even mosquitoes kept to themselves until we were almost at home and the sun had warmed up the air. Very few ticks again when we came home and I hope it will continue like that from now on. […]

The weather is anything but boring today :-)

I’m not sure if we’re having a storm but the winds are strong and the gusts roar through the forest. The winds even reach my garden and that’s unusual. We had rain almost all morning, except for when we were out on our morning walk, it started shortly after we had come home so I […]

First week soon to be over.

The weather has been rather mixed this first week of my vacation. Everything from sunny and hot to a bit chilly and heavy raining. Today is really nice though, mostly sunshine, a nice breeze and around 20C (68F). It was supposed to be like this yesterday but like always our weather service managed to miss […]

Finally cool air and rain :-)

It rained quite a lot here this morning and it has also cooled down considerable so it feels like life is back on track again. It has also blown quite a lot so the walk after work was really nice since both flies and mosquitoes blew away from us 🙂 🙂 🙂 I have two […]

Too hot!

It is hot and humid and I really don’t like it. How many times can one shower in a day before doing harm to oneself 🙂 🙂 🙂 Mosquitoes irritates and horse flies bite but Alma actually managed to take one that was a bit too brave and flew a bit too close to her […]

Almost forgot :-)

I almost forgot to write something here today. I can’t say that I’ve been very busy but I’ve been doing things all day but in a slow but steady pace. We’ve been out on our walks so now we all have plenty more mosquito bites but it looks like the dogs don’t feel the itching […]

The nettles slid down my arm.

I have a thorn in one of my fingers and it hurts every time I press down a key with it so now I’m trying to not use it at all. I can see the thorn so I’ll get it out after this. I have the thorn there just because I cleared out another area […]

Not happy about it.

We’ve had a rather nice week over here sunny and warm but not too warm. The rain that they said would fall here, and it would be well over an inch, never arrived. I have no idea where it went instead though but none at work had gotten any. So instead I’ve been watering both […]

The sunshine is really hot.

We were supposed to have a gray and dull day here with little to no sunshine so is anyone surprised when I say that we’ve mostly had sunshine all day? 🙂 🙂 🙂 21C (69,8F) but really hot in the sunshine. I even hesitated to take the dogs for a walk because of how hot […]

So we won.

It is raining. We weren’t supposed to get rain today but this comes from thunderstorms nearby and it is very dry in the ground so I doubt that anyone is complaining about it. It isn’t dry in my garden though, like in winter when the cold temperatures flow down through my garden so does the […]
