Yesterday was warm, grey and dull and a bit windy, today was warm, grey and dull but with sunshine for a few seconds and very windy and some misty rain when we went out for our morning walk. Not the funniest weather to be honest but it is still better than cold and snow.

 

The moment we almost had sunshine 🙂

The wise weathermen are however guessing that we will get plenty of snow the coming days but day temperatures will be warm and night temperatures will be cold as long as we have snowy weather so I guess that by the end of next week when temperatures will drop we’ll just have a icy covering over our little area here at the outskirts of the world. So I’ll drive to the store tomorrow so I don’t need to be out driving around in that weather 🙂

     

It is after all when we should have winter so no use in complaining I guess 🙂 Nothing much has happened here, it rarely does 🙂 I haven’t seen many signs of animals except for foot prints from mostly wild hogs and Roe deer. Not even the feral cats have been seen lately so that really says we have bad weather 🙂  I still have an old antenna on my roof, I refuse to get up on the roof to remove it because I know that if I fall down I won’t die, I’ll just injure myself badly and it will hurt 🙂 🙂 🙂 Normally the wind doesn’t reach my cottage but sometimes it does reach my roof and that antenna.

We had one raven following us today, too bad they never sit still so I can get a good photo of them.

 

When it does I sometimes can hear a sprrroing sound through the cottage and it took me a long time to understand that the wind made the old antenna vibrate and starting making that sound 🙂 🙂 🙂 Even though I now know what it is I still think it sounds creepy 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and perhaps I’ll have one of my newly baked french rolls, today they turned out delicious but since I always bake from the hip I’ll most likely never be able to do it the same way again 🙂

Have a great day!

I wish You all a Good Yule!

A Green Finch, haven’t seen many of those so far.

 

We Swedes are sort of obcessed by Disney today and it has been so for generations. Swedish Television (SWT), our Pbs, has since 1960 sent an old Disney program called The Wonderful World of Disney. 2020 it became the most viewed tv program ever in this country when almost half the population looked at it on Christmas eve. Back at the beginning anything coming from west of the Soviet Union was view as imperialistic and should be banned from the world 🙂 🙂 🙂 So this was the only time we ever had the chance to see anything Disney on tv, we only had Swedish Television in those days and no commercials (that I still love 🙂 )

     

Despite what all experts have said it is still just as popular and that’s of course because we brainwash the kids to watch it as well, even though they later refuse to see it they always come back when they have children so they too becomes brainwashed to see it. Disney now has its own streaming service and doesn’t sell their programs to other companies any more, except for this one and the SWT 🙂 but from what I’ve read the negotiations are hard every year. The risk for Disney being punished by the Swedes if they don’t sell this particular program to SWT is very big though, You don’t kill very popular traditions like that unpunished 🙂 

     

The program is almost totally exactly the same, First we see when the elves make the presents up at the north pole, a film from the 1930’s I think and now days they’ve removed almost all racist parts 🙂 After that we see short parts from Cinderella (when the mice and birds sing and make her the dress. Snow white when she and the dwarfs are having a party singing and dancing. Chip and Dale when Mickey Mouse by accident brings them in when he has cut his christmas tree and Pluto fights with them. 

     

Lady and the tramp when they are at the restaurant and Robin Hood stealing money from prince John and my favorite the Jungle Book when Baloo meets Mowgli for the first time plus one or two snippets from the latest films. However the most loved one is about Ferdinand the Bull. I think it was in the 80’s they announced that he would be replaced by the Ugly Duckling and all hell broke lose 🙂 🙂 🙂 It went as far as Swedish Television getting threats and they took is so seriously that the showed that film after the Disney program was over.  We’ve never seen the Ugly Duckling after that 🙂 🙂 🙂 Also this program also decides when to eat and give out the present. We had the present before and ate after some could do the opposite but no one ever ate at 3 pm when Donald Duck was shown on tv 🙂 🙂 🙂

This is what christmas is all about for a me 🙂

I wish You all a Good Yule!

The sun so close but still so far away.

We did actually have some sunshine today, not much while we had our morning walk but a few minutes after we had come back home. It was a really good walk though because Alma was unusually quiet, then again she pulled the leash more than usual but I can take that. That sound she has cuts like a knife through the brain.

     

She has an evil eye towards the cattle that walks outside my garden. I have no idea why because she really doesn’t care especially much when we pass the other cattle when walking in the village 🙂 🙂 Every time we’re going outside she runs to the gate and stares towards the cows and shows her displease and they don’t even have to be close to us. Once she even jumped over the gate when a calf came way to close to the fence 🙂 🙂

     

The Yule Gnome passed my cottage today 🙂 I had let the dogs out to pee and did the same myself when I looked up the road and noticed that the gnome was very close to my garden 🙂 🙂 I can only hope the rose bush I stood behind didn’t show too much of me. I doubt that the gnome saw especially much because of the mask in front of the face, it didn’t fit well 🙂 🙂 So I said hi and the voice of the gnome was from a woman and her job today was to walk pass my neighbors cottage so the kids could see how the gnome passed by 🙂 She looked rater much like the old time Yule gnomes looked here back in the days since she was rather thin, more about that either tomorrow or on Yule eve.

     

No white Christmas here this year, on the contrary it seems like it will be a muddy ten coming days. Almost up to 10 C (50 F) some days and rain every now and again. Much like the winters I had growing up by the ocean, If it became cold it was so cold that waiting for a bus or tram would be considered torture and if we were really lucky we would have a fierce wind blowing from the ocean 🙂 🙂 🙂 It did happen that it would be so cold that the ocean froze and when it did they made roads on the ice so even lorries could drive on them, nasty for us but perfect for those living on the island outside my home town 🙂

     

I’ve just had my last cup of tea for the day and today I even made dinner for two more days so I guess I’ll put what’s left in the freezer because on Christmas I’ll have christmas food all day 🙂

     

Have a great day!

Now I know why I slept so bad these last days, the full moon was bright this morning.

A storm passed by during last night, I knew it would be windy but not even close to what it was 🙂 It didn’t reach my garden because my neighbors cottage and garage blocked it but I could hear the roar from the wind blowing through the forest and it was loud! I couldn’t see any trees that had fallen though so the ground must have frozen enough to hold a grip on the trees.

Jackdaws having their morning flight.

 

This is the only place Alma always is quiet at, she saw her first wild hogs here, piglets. Today both she and Malkolm stared down to the trees so I guess there might have been hogs there today again.

I’ve finally made that clay thing I wrote about, a viking ship advent candlestick. If it was supposed to float on water it would sink because it is warped in all directions 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’ve had much fun making it though and that’s why I tried it but I think working with clay is not a hobby I will continuing doing 🙂 🙂 🙂 As it is now it’s also a sure fire-hazard because the lights are put deep in the lichens and they dry as soon as they come indoors and would start to burn as soon as it gets warm enough. So perhaps I must buy some more clay so the the candles stand above the lichens with no risk of them falling down. Even normal advent candlesticks can be dangerous if not watched properly and is one of the biggest reason to fires in homes this time of year.

One could see already at the beginning this ship wouldn’t be seaworthy. I evened out most of the side and then

I painted it. I had the idea to try and paint it so one could see individual planks but realized that I really didn’t care that much 🙂 🙂

Painted some more and decorated it with lichens. As I wrote this is a fire hazard since the candles stand in the lichens and moss but I won’t light the candles and this looks good 🙂

I managed to cancel the second computer order I made yesterday already today. To not risk them missing it I put a message on their web site, their forum, I emailed it and also finally managed to call them 🙂 🙂 To be honest the price was so low that I most likely would have been able to sell it for a better price on our ebay called Tradera if I had failed but why go through that if I don’t need to. One of my brothers’ who’s a Mac fanatic (never had anything else ever) is happy about this, I’m leaving the dark side and have seen the light 🙂 🙂 🙂 He’s the only one I know who has a Mac so I guess we’ll have plenty of phone calls until I’ve understood how those computers work 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

Alma behaved so well today when we were out walking that it surprised me! Oh how I wish this would continue but she has her moments of peace and then back to even worse than before until she calms down again 🙂 🙂 There were a few moments out by the bog when sounds, I can only describe them as sounding like distant explosions, rolled over the bog. Have no clue to what it could have been but they did worry her for a few minutes. A wolf killed a hunting dog not far from here yesterday, I just can’t understand why hunters so willingly let their dogs run out in a forest where they have wolf-packs?? They know this can and will happen but they just refuse to change the hunting methods they have used up till now. After this has happened they go out in media crying how horrible the wolves are and now they’ve lost a family member and the kids are crying. Well if it was a family member why didn’t they keep the dog leashed??

     

I’ve already had my last cup of tea for the day and after this it’s time to fall asleep in front of the tv 🙂

Have a great day!

I think most of the photos I use today were taken yesterday when the world still looked frozen and frosty white. Well Sara as well of course.

The cold and wind free days are over and now we have windy but warmer days instead. The only thing I’m not happy about is how much dirtier the floor becomes 🙂 🙂 Still I prefer warmer weather. I have been born in the wrong part of the world, I should have been born in a  warmer climate where it stayed around 20 C (68 F) all year round 🙂

I would like to say this was taken in the early morning but it was already 9:25 am.

I never picked that last squash in the vegetable garden 🙂

 

Today we must have had some rain during the night and the rest of the day, except for a few minutes, the sky has been evenly grey. Now the sky is clear, the full? moon is bright in the sky and therefor it’ll be cold during the night. Tomorrow the day will be cloudy again and I wonder why it always happen that way and not cloudy nights and sunny days? 🙂

     

I’ve done some laundry today and right now I’m waiting for my french rolls to cool down so I can have one or two before falling asleep in front of the tv 🙂 I’ve had some fun with clay for a couple of days now and have had really fun. I’ll show You when it is done. It isn’t beautiful in any way 🙂 🙂 🙂 but I’ve had lots of fun doing it. The problem is that I really have no good place to work with it, I’ve been standing at the kitchen counter and the stove 🙂 🙂 Back pain as a result but it’ll pass 🙂 I do have a lot more time now when I don’t have a job so I thought I would see what kind of hobby I would like besides photography.

     

I doubt I’ll continue with clay though even though this was a kind that hardens without having to stand in a kiln lots of hours. I have lots more things I can do and also sit down while doing it so if You’re unlucky You might have to look at several more failures until I know if I have another hobby or being happy about having my cameras 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I think it is time to try one of those rolls, this time they at least look good, and of course that last cup of tea for the day 🙂

     

Have a great day!

I went to the mail box and checked if I had gotten any mail, we only get it every second day and I never remember what days they are 🙂 Anyway I took this photo on my way back. The left one is my neighbors and the right one is mine.

Been to the supermarket in the early morning and followed the note I’d written and instead of buying more things I don’t need I actually removed some since I really don’t need them and probably want to have other things next time I’ll go to the grocery store 🙂

     

We were supposed to have rain today but I don’t think we’ve had any, we did get some sunshine instead and that was a good swap I think 🙂 Above 0 C (32 F) temperatures today so the snow and frost is slowly melting away, very slowly it still stays in places where the sun can’t reach. I don’t think Alma has behaved so well ever before as she did today!! I only wish I knew what was different this time 🙂 🙂

     

Every time my or my neighbors cars aren’t working as they should we borrow each others cars. Last year just before Christmas my old Peugeot broke down totally I could borrow their VW, this time they have their Volvo at the garage so now they borrow my Renault 🙂 I might have a rather shit life in some ways this autumn/ winter but I do have the best neighbors one can have 🙂 Also they like when my dogs jump over the fence and plays with their children and that’s a huge relief 🙂 🙂 🙂 So at the moment it’s a good thing I’m at home most of the time 🙂 🙂

     

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day. I baked some french rolls today and they sort of sank and are a bit flat but texture wise they actually are really close to the “real” ones but they taste absolutely nothing at all 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I’ve been sitting here wondering how all taste just have vanished when I remember that I forgot to put in salt 🙂 🙂 🙂 I tend to bake on a hip as we say here but I think I can remember how much of each product I used so I can do them again and put salt in too 🙂 🙂 🙂

Well if Alma is cleaning her up she of course does the same to her 🙂

I wonder what the Yule Gnome is trying to defend himself from? People who’d rather have Julmust? the biggest of all sodas during this time of year 🙂

Have a great day!

Winter wonderland.

We woke up to a village covered in white, well covered is a bit much but it is at least more snow on the ground than last time. It made my neighbor happy because it’s her birthday today and she wanted snow at least today and around Christmas 🙂

     

Even I must admit that it looks beautiful outside now and if the weather sites are somewhat right it might stay like this for a week or longer. I often hear that the snow at least makes it less dark but that’s only true if there is some light reflecting on it, I learned that when I moved to the countryside, if it is cloudy it’s just as dark as it is without snow 🙂 🙂 A clear sky and full moon is the best but since a clear sky usually also means nasty cold I prefer to have it cloudy at nights 🙂 🙂

     

I went to the super market this morning, Tuesday mornings are perfect to go there because there’s so little customers there that one can take time to just walk around looking for what one wants to buy and still not be in the way for others 🙂 That’s a dangerous strategy though because it is too easy to find other things to buy 🙂 I made it through without buying anything that wasn’t on the list though 🙂

     

I’ve started to put seeds in the feeder that is hanging in the huge lilacs and the birds of course loves it and I hope it will stop them from eating all the window putty from my windows. I have no idea what it is that makes them love eating it and it is so annoying! Anyway the small birds are happy and so is the Sparrowhawk. The first thing that happened was a Sparrowhawk catching a house sparrow in front of me. I really can’t be angry because they need food too but I do think it could have been polite enough to wait until I had walked in again 🙂

     

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day, I’ve just made a couple of scones and they are good but I don’t like how they smell for some reason. So the faster I eat these the quicker I can make other ones that doesn’t smell like these 🙂 🙂

     

Have a great day!

A bit grumpy after having a nap in my sweater 🙂

So dark outside.

Time just flew away yesterday and I blame that on the only sport I watch on tv, Biathlon. For those of You who don’t know what that is it is cross country skiing combined with shooting with a rifle on targets. To be honest it is strange that I am so fascinated in this sport because I’m a Conscientious objector and really dislikes cross country skiing 🙂 🙂 🙂 I never sleep as well as I do in front of cross country ski competition 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

They normally have these competitions in the mornings but for some reason they had them in in the afternoon this time, so I forgot to check the clock and when I finally did it was too late to start writing anything. Well nothing much had happened anyway and it was much the same today. The weather isn’t anything but fun. So dark and gloomy today that I had to use ISO 5000 to be able to take any descent photos. If You don’t know what ISO one usually use it’s normally around 200 on a bright day.

   

My hardy Rosemary. So far it has managed to survive down to almost -13 C (8,6 F).

It took some time before we could have our morning walk today, it rained around the time the sun is supposed to show itself and the clouds were so thick that very little light managed to reach us here on the ground. They did thin out some thankfully, otherwise I would have stayed at home 🙂

     

I saw a picture of a Werewolf earlier today and came to think of how our folklore describes them. I can’t find anything that if someone was bitten by a werewolf they too became one. There were some other ways that I’ll describe later on but mostly it was because someone had cursed a person to become one or if one knew ones way with magic one could transform to one by oneself. Usually they did that if they by looking like an animal would kill an enemy but it wasn’t only a wolf they could transform too, a bear was also something they could become. When someone had become a werewolf or (were) bear they usually had a lighter color than normal bears or wolves.

We walked in on one of all the small side roads to the gravel road down to the creek and found this small piece of bog.     

There were a few different ways to get free from this and the easiest one would be if someone saw You and thought they knew this wolf they just screamed out his name three times. One could also be killed by a silver bullet or the worst one they had to kill a pregnant woman and eat the child, must have been a nasty way for someone who had been cursed to become a werewolf. Life wasn’t easier back in the days 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I hope Your First of Advent was a good day and now we’re looking forward to the second 🙂

     

Have a great day!

So I went with my neighbor to get my car this morning and thankfully those working in the reception start half an hour early because it was a bit too chilly to have to stand and wait outside until I could get my car 🙂 I would have survived but it wouldn’t have been nice 🙂

Lots of lichens on the trees says we have a very clean air here.

 

I was going to the store as well today but it was too early for that as well, so I drove to my old work place and made a visit to my old work friends. Times  are hard now so they didn’t have much to do. I may not like the leadership of that place but I don’t want my old friends to lose their jobs. The leadership made a huge miscalculation to how much we would have to do when they started the evening/night shift so people have had to go. Well that happens when one believes one is a god but quite frankly is dumb as a doorknob 🙂 🙂 🙂

   

After that I went to the grocery store in that village, I’ve done most of my grocery shopping there since I moved to this county and that’s over 27 years now, so I won’t stop now just because I don’t live nearby. I don’t go there as often though but since I know them all it’s worth the trip every now and again 🙂 I didn’t have any shopping list today but surprisingly I managed to get everything I wanted but for a cheese. I remember that I turned towards the cheese but something caught my eye and I never got one with me home 🙂 🙂 So it’s a good thing that I have a neighbor working at a supermarket 🙂 So now I have what I need for almost a week I think 🙂

   

I think someone is out cutting down trees somewhere close to the creek. To be honest I can’t hear anything sounding like those huge saws they have but something big that makes a lots of noise works down there anyway. I don’t think anyone will work there tomorrow so I think I’ll have our morning walk there tomorrow. If they work we won’t come anywhere near before Alma freaks out, she is very sensitive to noise and it doesn’t have to be especially loud, she was so stressed on our walk today and we walked far away. Next time we’ll go to the vet I’ll ask him if there’s anything I can give her so she doesn’t work herself up like she does. It has gone worse again after Nova had to leave.

   

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and I might make myself a couple of sandwiches, perhaps have some christmas ham, beetroot salad(I’ve understood that our beetroot salad isn’t the same You have on the other side of the ocean, we have vinegar and mayo as the base in ours) and I might even have a couple of slices of strong cheese 🙂

Not many photos from the wild life camera lately. So here’s one of the cats from the farm uphill 🙂

Have a great day!

A bit chilly.

We had a clear sky when I woke up this morning and I could see that the sun was rising even though it still was a couple of hours before that happened. I opened the door and followed the dogs outside and realized that if we stayed outdoor for more than a few minutes we would all die 🙂 🙂 still standing as the ones the Ice queen in Narnia froze to statues 🙂 🙂

     

-12 C (10,4 F) but thankfully no wind at that moment. we did get a very weak wind when we went out on our walk though but by then the sun was up shining, not that it felt especially much warmer but my imagination is strong so I decided it was 🙂 🙂  We walked down to the bog and out to the island I like so much to walk at.  This time I decided that we should walk on the more beautiful side of it. I think it must have been well over a year since we were there, can’t remember Malkolm ever walking there so it must have been long before he moved here. That side of the island is as it most beautiful when spring hasn’t turned to summer because the sun reach that side and all mosses and lichens shine so beautiful in that light early in the morning.

   

What I didn’t know was that lots of dead trees had fallen during the storms that it was impossible to walk that way. It’s a nature reserve so fallen trees stays where they are. So instead we had to walk through a dense shrubbery containing mostly of young birches, really fun to do that with a dog like Alma 🙂 🙂 🙂 We finally managed to walk through it and to the island again. Unfortunately the frozen water in the bog was covered with snow and so was all moss and lichens, not by much but enough to hide what it looks like there. Still a beautiful place though. We did hear a deer jumping away so after that Alma was slightly impossible to walk with.

    This is actually the county border, I live around 200 meters from it.

I did make a macaroni pudding today and I must say it was delicious 🙂 I ate too much of course but there’s still enough left for dinner tomorrow. I also tried one of all the recipes on apple pie made in a micro. Well I wouldn’t call what I did a pie in any way, it was more like oatmeal cookies with apples mixed in 🙂 🙂 Still really nice but not a pie. There seems to be loads of those recipes so I think I’ll try another tomorrow 🙂

     

It’ll have be cold tomorrow as well and sunshine all day long, at least that is what they all are guessing but it will be almost 10 C (50 F)  on Sunday. It will also rain they say but I will not complain, I really don’t like winter 🙂 I really am born in the wrong part of the world when it comes to the cold season 🙂 🙂 Time for a last cup of tea for the day and then some tv watching, for once there’s actually something I want to see 🙂

     

Have a great day!

The water filled puddles are impossible to see when the thin layer of snow covers them.

Lots of snow falling for about five minutes so not much on the ground.

So we’ve missed almost all snow but I heard it was a bit chaotic on th e northern parts of our west coast during the morning and now they expect up to 50 cm (20 inches) of snow at the east coast just north of our Capital Stockholm. Down here where I live we even had some nice sunshine during the day but also some snowfall but it looked worse than it actually was.

Much nicer weather yesterday so most photos comes from then.

   

I hadn’t planed on leaving my cottage until as earliest on Friday but I got a message that I could go to the vet to bring old Nova back home. So to the vet I went and just as I was about to leave the vet came and asked how Sara the cat was 🙂 He truly likes that little kitten of ours 🙂 🙂 I told him that I didn’t plan on letting her outside for quite some time yet because she’s tiny and he said yes maybe when summer arrives 🙂 I was planning some time after Christmas, for a short moment depending on the weather 🙂 I guess it depends on how much she wants it and she will be in a leash the first times 🙂

     

My neighbors kids had chickenpox last week, I didn’t know that when I walked in to their home 🙂 🙂 I have a tendency to get it even though I’ve already had it several times, I’ve heard that it is because my immune system is, as a nurse said to me, quite fucked up because of my rheumatism which is an autoimmune disease. So now I’m just waiting for that itching again, it isn’t that long ago I had it 🙂 🙂 to be honest it was more or less over by the time I was there so I’ll most likely not get it but now of course I do feel that it itches everywhere 🙂 🙂 🙂 Just like finding one tick walking on an arm and after that one feel they walk everywhere 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I think it’s time for that last cup of tea for the day and perhaps some hard bread with christmas ham on. They’ve already started to sell slices of it in the stores so I bought a little package, goes really well with some brie 🙂

     

Have a great day!

     

One more day before winter.

The beekeepers bees are still here, they’ll be easier to move now when it will become colder.

Really nice morning here today but the hunters were out in the forest and I didn’t want to walk in the village so it took some time before we could have our morning walk. The hunters aren’t however very patient people so they left pretty soon anyway 🙂

     

They’re guessing that we’ll have pretty much the same weather tomorrow but after that it’ll change to below 0C (32F) temperatures both day and night plus we’ll get up to 25 cm (10 inches of snow starting Tuesday evening till Thursday evening. So after having our morning walk tomorrow I’ll go to the super market and buy everything I’ll need for the rest of the week. I’m not happy to be unemployed but it sure feels good to not have to be out driving in that kind of weather.

     

I’ve now planted the last plants in the garden, one rose and four Sea ​​buckthorn. Have You ever eaten the berries from the Sea ​​buckthorn? They are delicious, a mix of passion fruit, pine apple and oranges (slightly sour) according to myself 🙂 There’s only one problem and that’s to pick them. Firstly they are protected by thorns from hell and they tend to burst when one tries to remove them 🙂 So one usually cuts off the branches they they are attached to and slowly rip them off starting from the bottom of the branch, because they tend to point towards the tip of the branch, over a bucket so both the berries and the juice drops down in to the bucket. they are absolutely best as fresh but works almost as well as jelly or ade. These bushes are so small that it’ll take a couple of years before they give berries I think.

     

So two years ago I started to have a Christmas tree again. I stopped to have one when one of my old dogs thought that no matter where a tree stands it is supposed to be peed on, referable every day and he was a big dog, weighed 52 kg (around 105 pound). So when he no longer was with me and both cats were gone as well I bought me a plastic tree that looked surprisingly much like a living tree. It has been rather nice to put it up every time to be honest. Now Sara the cat is here and she climbs everywhere and likes to chew on cables I’m afraid so no more christmas tree for me 🙂 🙂 I do have the battery driven light chain though and if I remember it right it would work for a tree outside, the thing is that I then would have to remember to turn it on and off every day so I think I’ll skip that.

Finally only two leafs hanging on the Pawpaw tree.

I want to place the Quince tree seedlings (I have four more than these) in the cool cellar but they refuse to drop their leafs and it is the same with the Peach tree. I might have to remove most of the leafs by hand or hope they start their winter rest anyway, I don’t have any space beneath the plant light any longer.

This is most likely the most sad looking Thuja there is 🙂 The surrounding trees grew so much faster that it almost get no light at all 🙂

This is what an Iceberg salad looks like when it is about to flower. Can still be eaten but needs to stand in water a couple of days because it is really bitter now 🙂

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and at the same time give the animals their dinners. Nothing worth watching on tv tonight so at the moment I have no idea what to do but I’ll most likely snooze in  front of the tv while wondering what to do 🙂

       

Have a great day!
