Renewing the electricity contract.

I’ve nothing to say really. The weather has been nice and work days have passed quickly. I went to the optician yesterday and he corrected what I felt was wrong, I’ll get a text message the day the lenses arrive. It is time to renew my electricity contract. I haven’t checked what they offer yet […]

I’m so glad she stayed in the garden.

I let the dogs out just before going to bed yesterday evening, Albin came back rather soon and just as he was walking indoors I hear Alma bark like crazy and she’s not playing, she was furious. She was at the other side of the garden, barking towards the big pasture but since it was […]

The cold air hit me like a ton of bricks.

Some morning it feels like it’s just impossible to wake up, this morning was one of those. Then I opened the door to let the dogs out and I woke up in a second, it was -4C (24,8F) and that cold air hit me like a ton of bricks 🙂 🙂 🙂 The rest of […]

Strong winds and sunshine.

It drizzled some when I drove home after work today but I think that was all we got, places in the south tip of this country got more today than they usually get during this month. Well they’ve had so little rain this year that they need it but I guess the problem is that […]

Plum, satsuma and apple jam :-)

It was supposed to be cloudy all day here so I wasn’t the least surprised that we’ve had sunshine for most part of the day. Ok there has been clouds but the sun has had long periods of shining through. It has been fairly warm as well, 17C (62,6F) so the radiators have been turned […]

It’s a mushroom year.

We’ve had a rather nice day over here. It started out cloudy but then the clouds broke up and after that it’s been rather sunny. Lots of smaller clouds up there in the sky but still sunny enough to warm up my little cottage. I went to the optician yesterday and this time it was […]

I’m glad I like toast :-)

Nothing has happened here, I’m still at home since my stomach is quite wobbly and I still haven’t tried cooked food yet. I’m so glad I like toast and rose-hip soup 🙂 🙂 🙂 The weather has been rather mixed. Either strong winds and rain or almost no wind and mostly sunny. I have been […]

Autumn is definitely here now.

It’s not the nicest of days here. It rained quite a lot last night so the humidity is high but the temperature is low. There’s a rawness in the air that tells me that autumn definitely has arrived. There was actually some sunshine when we were out walking this morning but I can’t say it […]

A bit too heavy.

The day started rather nice, reasonable warm for being an autumn morning and the sun slowly rising. After that it sort of went down hill 🙂 Strong and chilly winds arrived and so did clouds. We did get some sunshine later in the day but the winds were too chilly for the sun to warm […]

Just a normal Sunday.

This Sunday has passed like most other Sundays. I’ve done the laundry and dinner for next week at work. Not the most exciting of days but the dinner was mostly made by the slow cooker so all I had to do was to go outside and collect the vegetables and potatoes and then put it […]

The first frost!

We had our first morning with frost yesterday. The temperature sunk to 0C (32F) for just long enough time to give me a sheet of ice over the entire car. I can’t say I liked it 🙂 🙂 🙂 Normally the first frost arrives at September 6 so it came a week early. When I’m […]
