Longing for that rain and cool weather to arrive.

It has been, for us Scandinavians, nasty hot here with temperatures around 33C (91,4F). Guess if I’m happy to be caring about the public pool in Floby every day 🙂 Today I decided I should sweep all the stairs in the pool and brush away all sand that the bathers had brought in with them […]

Sun warm strawberries.

I’m sitting here in front of the computer eating strawberries that my neighbours kids thought I should have 🙂 Yes I am spoiled 🙂 🙂 They had been to one of the many self picking places today because the season for strawberries is almost open and this was supposed to be the last weekend they […]

Scandinavian hot again.

26C (78,8F) now in the afternoon and even though there’s a wind blowing it still feels a bit too warm. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to live in a place where this is a rather low temperature 🙂 🙂 🙂 The morning was nice though, 13C (55,4F) just as the sun […]

They tried again.

The morning was cool and nice but after that it has become warmer and warmer again, still the real heatwave won’t arrive until early next week. The temperatures will rise to around 30C (86F) and possibly a bit higher as well. That’s when I’m so happy about working all mornings cleaning a big pool 🙂 […]

A bit chilly before the next heatwave.

So it was only 2C (35,6F) last night, when we went up and out, way too early, it had risen to 4C (39,2F) and I would lie if I said it felt nice 🙂 Still it really woke me up and gave me a good start to the working day 🙂 🙂 🙂 Anyway, so […]

A really nice morning.

So we had a rather cool morning today so the morning walk was totally fly free 🙂 It was only when we were almost at home it became warm enough for the flies to start annoying me. To be honest though, we do have almost alarmingly few flies and mosquitoes this year. You who have […]

Cool and rain.

So it has finally cooled down and with that we also got rain. We’ll get lots of it if we’re lucky because no matter how much I dislike rain we do need it now. I’ve started to work at 6 am now so the pool robot cleaners get enough time to clean up before the […]

Still too hot.

It has been sticky warm all day (much warmer than they had guessed) with the exception when the thunder passed. It was a meh thunder to be honest and very little rain fell. The little rain did however make sure the humidity went all the way up to 100%. So I haven’t done especially much […]

So hot!

I really don’t understand how people can live in these high temperatures. It rose to 35C (95F) quite early in the day but then we had a short lived thunderstorm passing by so the temperature dropped to 22C (71,6F) It did however not take long before we had 35C (95F) again after that plus the […]

They behaved so well.

My neighbour and I went to the pool to do the tests and check the repair I had done on a thin tube earlier in the week. It was so nice there now in the morning before anyone was awake enough to even consider going to the pool . The water is heated so even […]

Most of it seems to have missed us.

They warned us of heavy showers and thunderstorms today but so far we’ve had a light thunder passing by and a gentle summer rain. From what I can see on the weather sites it’s over for this time. I do wonder where those heavy showers were. We had sunshine when we were out on our […]

Midsummer.

Personally I think we always should celebrate midsummer on the midsummer solstice but that would be inconvenient for businesses so now we celebrate it as earliest at June 19th or as late as June 25th and always on a Friday. Midsummers eve isn’t a holiday but tomorrow is. Still only a few people work today […]
