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 πŸ™‚ 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 […]

Still summer warm.

The dogs woke me up at 3:20 am and I really didn’t want to get up. However if it was because they needed to do their business and I didn’t want it to happen indoors I had to get up. I’m not sure what they did because they ran around the garden a couple of […]

We’ve had really mixed weather this week.

We’ve had very mixed weather here this week, anything from sunny and Scandinavian hot to almost chilly and heavy rain. Today however has been rather nice, cool and sunny morning, a few hours with cloudy weather and now sunny and just enough warm. Strong winds blowing all wee though. Wee went down to the creek […]

Not a start of the morning I like to have :-)

It was just before 4:30 this morning, I woke up to hearing the dings run up and down the stairs so I thought I better get up and let them out because I really didn’t want an accident happening just because I was to slow to open the door. Turns out that they really didn’t […]

It actually works as a substitute for ice cream :-)

The temperature rose to 32C (89,6F) on Thursday and the night was way too warm as well so I’m still very tired after that. Not only I but most of us had a hard time that day. Today however we’re back to 20C (68F) and life feels good πŸ™‚ It’ll stay like this, mostly sunny […]

Just as chilly today.

It’s bit chilly again today (and they’re saying it will be the same tomorrow but turn warmer on Tuesday. We’re lucky if it reaches 18C (64,4F) today. I don’t mind after the long heatwaves we’ve had. The morning was quite nice though, no wind, the sun rising and a few birds singing. It must have […]

Finally rain :-)

We didn’t get especially much rain during last night but what difference it made to the vegetation! Everything looked alive and that wasn’t the case yesterday. I must admit that I still felt a bit disappointed but it is what it is. We woke up around 3 am today and normally I would just have […]

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 πŸ™‚ 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 […]
