Have a good continuing of the Yule.

Last Sunday when we took a walk out on the bog I found some tracks in the snow when we walked on my favorite island out there. beneath the canopy there was just a thin layer of powdered snow so I really couldn’t see what animals they came from but it was clear that they […]

We even had sunshine!

Days have passed and things are still rather slow here. I did feel nausea at work on Thursday though and my stomach rumbled a lot so I went home quite early in the day. Felt really bad and started freezing so I went to bed, slept a couple of hours. After that I kept on […]

We never see wild life any longer.

The weather has been rather pleasant today, we went out as soon as I noticed that the sun rose but since it felt a bit chilly I decided to put on the winter jacket. Too bad that Alma decided that today was the day she would stop behaving at all 🙂 🙂 It felt like […]

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 […]

The rain keeps her indoors :-)

The rain has been pouring down for two days now. So no walks after work since none of the dogs would follow me outside 🙂 🙂 The grass on the entrance side is now so wet and soggy that not even the dogs will walk there, well walk is the wrong word since sliding in […]

Sound travels well in sandy soil.

I’ve done all my chores early today and to be honest there weren’t that many to do. The laundry, dinner for next week and dinner for today. We had pancakes today and we also had pancakes yesterday 🙂 The dogs get one each and I’ll have as many I can get out from the batter […]

Slow days stuns the brain.

So yesterday while I was working I suddenly got a phone cal from my neighbor and I thought that can’t be a good thing. Either my cottage is burning down or Alma has escaped from the dog yard again. Thankfully it was the latter one 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I had to drive home to […]

Concrete ice.

Yesterday night I didn’t get much sleep. Nova got some kind of stomach flu and had to go outside every now and again, usually just as I started to fall asleep again. Also at 1:30 am I needed to go to the bathroom myself and after that it was even harder to fall asleep. So […]

I hope it helps the ground water levels.

The rain is pouring down and even here where the ground mostly contains sand it’s now impossible to walk around on the lawn without sliding around 🙂 🙂 Still we need it so that the ground water levels finally rise again. We’ve had a warning about our ground water levels for well over half a […]

Sunny days.

Nothing special has happened, the days pass fairly quickly anyway. The sun has been shining these last two days and even though the sky has been more or less cloud free we still haven’t had frost at nights. That will change tonight they say, so I’m preparing myself for ice scraping the car tomorrow morning. […]

I didn’t know they were on.

So the moose hunt has begun so we can’t take our walks in the forest today (nor yesterday). Well they left pretty early yesterday so we might be able to go there later today but the lovely sunshine will most likely be gone by then. The temperature fell down to 0C (32F) this morning but […]

Does it stand for Does Not Serve? :-)

I tried to go out on the net yesterday and I don’t think I’ve had such good coverage in many years but still I couldn’t. When my computer tried to locate what the problem was it said that something was wrong with a DNS server. I have no idea what that is but I guess […]
