A horrible smell of burnt metal and god knows what :-)

The photos comes from today and yesterday.

We had a sort of nice weather yesterday, not much sunshine but quiet windy with warm winds, today another storm, well that is perhaps a bit much to call it but the gusts were really strong. Still rather warm though. I didn’t want to walk in the forest because the risk of falling trees and I didn’t want to walk in the village because of the gusts so we walked down to the creek. Almost in the forest but the trees along both the road and creek are rather low compared to the forest.

     

It’s always slightly impossible to walk with Alma the first two hundred meters (much the same in yards) , she’s everywhere and nowhere at the same time quite often whining and screaming like obcessed but after that she behaved really well, I guess all the treats in my pocket helped me with that 🙂 🙂 🙂 To be honest she really doesn’t do anything to get the treats, she’s happy to get them if she for some reason do something right for once 🙂 🙂 She will remember nothing of that by the day after 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I sat down to watch tv when we came home and suddenly a smell filled the air, sort of metallic burning and really wet wood combination, I can’t describe it any better and it was pretty awful. So I started to sniff around all electrical things that was on and I just couldn’t find from where it came. So for a while I thought it might be the tv itself slowly melting inside. I pulled out the cord and opened a door to let the air out. I was worried that perhaps the cords inside the walls, I hate having cords in the walls since this is an old tree cottage and god knows what I would be able to do if they started to burn in there.

     

Anyway, after the door had been open for a while the air smelled a bit better so I sat down in my reclines and watched the air to see if there was any smoke in it. That’s when I heard a thermostat klicking behind me.  There is an old radiator on the wall beneath the window that I haven’t used in well over twenty years because it never managed to be especially warm and I guess that the dogs when squeezing between the wall and my recliner have managed to press on the On/ Off button while passing through. So when that started to warm up well over twenty years of dust getting in to that radiator slowly started to burn off 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

You might wonder why I haven’t replaced that radiator years ago? Well in it is connected straight to the electric wiring and has no contact to pull out, also new radiators like that has a quick connect so one just can disconnect it and replace the old radiator. Here the cord goes straight in t the wall. Plus I’ve tried to remove it from the wall but I just can’t get it even to wiggle, it is stuck 🙂 🙂 🙂 So since I don’t want the dogs to accidentally start it again, I’m not worried it will start to burn but that smell was awful 🙂 The On/Off button isn’t easy to press, so I’ve now put up a cover over that button 🙂 🙂 🙂 One day I’ll get an electrician come over here and remove all those now turned off old radiators. They were really good radiators for their time but the ones I have now, with an  electric plug are so much better.

     

I think it is time for that last cup of tea and then most likely dooze off in front of the tv 🙂

 

Have a great day!

I missed a foggy morning walk.

The only foggy photo I took today 🙂

We had thick fog this morning, perfect for a morning walk but I was going to visit my friend in the garden center and it takes some time to get there so I had to skip the morning walk. We had our “morning” walk when I came home just after noon instead.

     

I do miss the days when I had my own garden center but it was a lot of work for very little money. Unless it’s a holiday of some kind or beginning of spring very little happens, very fun though but it is nice to have dinner every now and again 🙂 🙂 🙂 Quite often if not always I get some plants/flowers with me home, it is when the plants are too old to sell 🙂 So today I came home with two Butterfly orchids that had seen better days and a huge Croton. Crotons really hate dry air so they usually don’t last for long in modern homes, it usually don’t take long time before the first pests arrive, like spider mites and even if one can be successful in removing them the first time they don’t take long to come back.

     

Too dry air in a 100 year old cottage is rarely a problem as long as the plant doesn’t stand too close to a radiator but it is so big that I have no idea where to place it 🙂 🙂 🙂 Don’t need much sunlight though so perhaps I can find a spot in the bathroom? Not that I have much space there either but it will not be a very dry air in there anyway 🙂 🙂 Or perhaps I’ll place that orchid I was wondering about where to place just in case Sara the cat would get the idea to chew on it in the bathroom and the Croton by the entrance door where daylight can reach it? I think that might be a good idea.

This is a really muddy place that we have to pass to get to the island. Put your foot in the wrong place and You will sink down to Your knee in mud 🙂 🙂

   

Anyway, we walked out to the bog and the island I like there and today we followed it, on the less beautiful side, for as long as we could. Alma had behaved reasonable good until we came out to the island but was extra stressed when we started to walk. We made quite a lot of noise by walking on all the fallen and now dry branches and that when I hear something moving. We stopped and I saw in the corner of my eye something moving. It was wild hogs. At least one rather big boar and three smaller ones. Alma couldn’t see them thankfully so she stood quiet and tried to see what it was moving. The hogs walked in to the thicker forest on the island so we continues to walk our own way.

It is easy to walk here because of the absolute flat surface, the other side of the island is just the opposite and also very swampy 🙂
This tree looks like something that will wake up at night and start wandering around looking for prey 🙂

Behind those birches there’s a big but swampy meadow, I only walk there during droughts 🙂

Alma doesn’t like wild hogs so she was pretty happy when we arrived back home again but I have to say that if this had happened a year ago it would have been more troublesome to go back home at all 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well I think it is time for that last cup of tea for the day but nothing to eat, I made rice porridge again today and it is filling well and there’s no risk of getting hungry again today 🙂 By the way I also picked up the Quality Street tin box this morning, now I’ll place it in the pantry and never look at it before Christmas eve morning 🙂

 

It looks like there still is mist at the far back of the photo, odd because the fog/ mist had already vanished elsewhere.
and where’s the bridge over the creek?

Have a great day!

Our squirrels are really shy so this was a surprise to see today 🙂

Foggy morning.

· 8 Comments ·

As I wrote yesterday we had really thick fog last evening so I expected I wouldn’t see much when the dogs and I was outside just before going to bed. We had a clear sky and absolutely no fog what so ever, so I must admit I was a bit disappointed.

     

The first thing I did after I had woken up was to see what it looked like out there and the fog had returned 🙂 plus it was below 0C (32F) so it felt a bit nasty chilly to be honest 🙂 We went out to the bog and it was absolutely quiet and no wind. These last days I’ve heard spring songs from birds, the only thing I heard today was a couple of Ravens when they passed above us.

     

I went to the supermarket after our walk, I really didn’t need much but I needed to post a letter. A couple of days ago I was offered to see if I had “invisible” bleeding in my intestines so they could catch and cancer in my intestines. I’m not sure if this is because of my kidney, they have started doing tests for all kinds of things when we come to a certain age, free of charge of course. It could just be a coincident and of course I did what they asked for. Just as well check the entire system when I can 🙂 🙂

     

Anyway, I went to the super market and was just going to buy some milk and perhaps something to have on my sandwiches. So I came home with a small kitchen assistant, they are already displaying everything christmas there now and I guess this is seen as a christmas present. It was really cheap and online it would have cost almost twice 🙂 So I’ve already used it today to bake a loaf of bread that now is in the oven. This was my christmas present to myself this year 🙂 I can’t remember the brand right now but the reviews are good, I really should check something like that before buying anything 🙂 🙂

     

Besides that nothing much has happened, the fog stayed until I came back home after the supermarket and after that it has just been grey and dull. I don’t mind really, I didn’t have anything planned and we have been outside in the garden every now and again.

     

They have made an update on Windows Photo program and it annoys me so much. Windows wants me to upload every photo to the one drive app up in the clouds 🙂 I refuse that so then they make it harder with the downloading. It creates a folder by itself and put all photos in that, the problem is that it’s impossible to find again!!! So I need to move the photos from that folder to one I’ve made to be able to find them again 🙂 🙂 🙂 Also anything from my wildlife camera doesn’t show up when I try to download it to the blog?!!! I now must download it to YouTube and then download it here. Nothing exciting so far, just a couple of Roe deer passing by.

     

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and a slice or two from the new bread 🙂

Have a great day!

Grey and dull.

· 14 Comments ·

The weather has been grey and dull and we’ve had misty rain most of the time. Also so dark that I’ve had to have lights on all day. We’ve been out in the forest but to be honest this day has sucked the energy out of us all so not even Alma was especially overjoyed to have any walks 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I must admit that I will be happy when the elections in the US are over 🙂 🙂 Our different tv companies has shown bigger interest in this election that they’ve done to our own 🙂 🙂 Today for instance they showed when the Polling stations opened up all over the country, discussed everything and anything about the presidential candidates, pros and cons for us and our economy and to be honest a little too much enthusiastic over all. They’ve checked how we Swedes would vote if we were allowed and 80% would vote for Kamala (I think Obama would have gotten over 92% but that was before our fascists grew big), only the fascists would vote for the orange nazi. I’ll also be very happy when all the spam mail begging for money will end coming to my e-mail account 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m up to 60 e-mails every day now.

     

We’ve been in the garden quite a lot today because it has been rather warm. There’s still two walnuts hanging in the tree and it seems they refuse to fall down, I have peeled all the walnuts that has fallen down. The misty rain forced us to go inside rather often, misty rain eats its way through any form of clothes so it really isn’t nice after a while. So instead I’ve baked two loafs of bread, not a total success but way better than the last time. The odd thing is that one actually can cut a couple of slices just after it has come out from the oven but try it a few seconds later and the bread just collapses 🙂 🙂 🙂

So since it was so dark and gloomy today and like always this time of year I felt a little Christmas spirit I made some rice porridge 🙂 And of course I used the Christmas porridge plate 🙂
It is basically round rice (even though any rice can be used, it just gets a slightly different texture). First boiled in some water for 15 minutes and after that let it simmer in milk in around 40 to 60 minutes.
I do have a piece of cinnamon in it while it boils but when it is done I sprinkle more over it all and today I also added some strawberry jam 🙂

No wolves yesterday either but a couple of Roe deer instead. Alma’s tail indicated that they might not be around any longer but there are plenty of other animals around so I hope our fox pass by soon. Back in the days when we had lots of moose here they quite often passed by even during day time, so there’s a minimal chance the camera might be able to get one of those too. I doubt that and Red deer or Fallow deer will come close enough though, they are still too shy to come close to our cottages.

It is time for that last cup of tea and most likely a sandwich or two. Both the dogs and the kitten will have a tiny piece each. I’m not surprised that the dogs like it but Sara the cat will go insane if she doesn’t get some too 🙂 🙂

   

Have a great day!

The bog.

It was a good thing it was this little badger the dogs fought in the garden last winter and not the big male, he would have broken all bones in my dogs.

I’m sorry I can’t show You a photo of a wolf today but as You can see the camera caught a badger instead. It is most likely the same badger Alma and Albin had two fights with in the garden, just slightly bigger 🙂 Last nights photos was less good, to be honest the camera had changed from photos to videos but that didn’t matter, we had frost during the night so the lens was covered in it 🙂 I could see something walking by and it did look like a canine of some sort but it was most likely the fox that also visit the garden at nights. No frost tonight so perhaps the camera will catch that canine again but as photos instead.

Out to the bog we went.

   

Our walk this morning wasn’t anything out of the ordinary and to be honest neither was yesterdays morning walk but we did go out to my favorite island in the bog. It has dried up so much now that it is possible to walk there now, so today You’ll see photos from that island and most of You have never seen that place before. I couldn’t see any signs of wolves being there but Alma was a bit stressed with her tail hanging so we only walked there for a short while and on the less beautiful side of the island (I write island because this is actually an old lake they’ve tried to empty totally a century ago but failed since the lake is a spring lake). I hope I can show You the rest soon, it all depends on rain and wolves 🙂 🙂

     

I went to the store in the village where I used to work and after that I visited my old work friends. It was fun to talk to them but I must admit I didn’t feel especially sad leaving 🙂 🙂 It didn’t feel like I was leaving a happy place to be honest. They do at least have free coffee though 🙂  We had frost in the morning here and even though it almost reached 10C (50F) the ground still stayed frozen all day long. Earlier they guessed that we now would go towards colder weather, now they say we’ll have warmer weather again 🙂 🙂 No sunshine for quite some time though but I can survive without that for a while 🙂

     

I think it is time for that last cup of tea for the day and perhaps some hard bread sandwiches with it. Tomorrow I’ll have to bake more bread, I failed some last time, too little flour I guess even though I actually put in more than I should. The bread instead of rising it sort of flouted out and became almost flat 🙂 🙂 🙂 The taste was good though and that’s more important 🙂

It isn’t easy to find the small bridge so one can pass over the creek if one doesn’t know where it is 🙂

   

Have a great day!

I woke up early today and since it was dark outside I couldn’t see how foggy it was, it was still quite foggy when the light finally returned. I had planned on walking in the village today but then I heard the dogs barking everywhere so I changed my mind, I really didn’t want Alma to stress up and start screaming, I just didn’t have that energy today 🙂 🙂

     

The hunters were out in the forest though so we didn’t have our morning walk until after noon. One hunter was still there though because his Beagle hadn’t returned. I had heard a dog bark twice down by the creek so he thought it must be his dog and drove down there. The problem was he still couldn’t find him. The dog still hadn’t returned when we came back again so I prepared myself to go out with Malkolm who loves to follow tracks and loves all dogs as well just in case they hadn’t found the dog before it started to get dark again. Luckily they did find him just before darkness would arrive.

     

I don’t like it when they have dogs running around by themselves now when we have wolves in the area even though I haven’t seen any signs of them being here in a long time but one never knows. Everything went well though 🙂 So instead of going out to try and find a dog I baked two loafs of bread, it would perhaps been better to let them stay in the oven for five minutes longer but the taste is really nice 🙂

       

I think it is time for that last cup of tea for the day and perhaps one more sandwich. When I’ve bought a cheap, low quality tea and I did that on purpose this time, I like to put in different spices in it. Today I feel like something christmassy so in the tea there will be sliced ginger, cardamom seeds, some cloves and a piece of cinnamon 🙂

I found a Marigold in bloom in my garden today.
My Holly-leaved barberry has buds, I don’t think it is supposed to.
And the Pawpaws are still green.

Have a great day!

It was there just for a second, then it was gone again.

Sunny and warm today, it did feel like an early summer day with a lukewarm wind blowing as well. I wasn’t sure Nova wanted to follow us on a walk today because yesterday I was pretty sure she wouldn’t last till today. It was tough for her walking up stairs or even get up from the dog bed.

     

Today it was quite the opposite She was the first one out jumping the stairs as if she was young again and really enjoyed our walk 🙂 🙂 The only time she wasn’t happy was when I vacuumed the floors, she hates the vacuum cleaner and for good reasons because she was severely abused as a puppy when they hit her with the tube and scared her and her siblings almost to death with the machine on. She does accept that I do it but isn’t happy about it, that’s why I usually use a cleaning brush most of the time.

     

Now the sun rise so late that I can’t say we went out in the early morning 🙂 we did however go out as soon as the sun had risen above the few clouds we had in the sky. We walked out to the bog and on the way we could hear people shouting over at the castles grounds. At first I thought someone was shouting after their dog but then I hear the shots, they were hunting. So instead of going down to the creek we went out to the bog. No moose flies today thankfully but lots of small dragonfly relatives, they are really small but still beautiful even though they doesn’t seem t have any colors. 

     

When we had been out there for a while we slowly walked back homewards. It was time to continue with what I do with Alma now to try and calm her down (so far so good even though all the shouting from the hunting party had stressed her up quite a lot) so we stopped and everything worked as I hoped. That’s when I looked up and ahead of us when a fox slowly walked in front of us. Not even Alma made a sound oddly enough. I picked up my camera, took one photo but didn’t have any time to adjust it and then the fox was gone. To be honest I do think that photo turned out amazingly well 🙂

   

There it was, just for a second and then it was gone again.

The hunters, well those who shouted to scare the animals towards the hunters anyway, came a bit too close, I think they went over to the wrong side and if they do and are being found out they can actually be seen as poachers, by scaring away animals to be hunted on their area so there’s less animals for other hunters. They could of course have permission but I doubt that. We walked homewards slowly just to be able to enjoy the wonderful weather we had. After that they day has been relatively calm and I’ve baked some french rolls plus the vacuuming, a tough day 🙂

     

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day,watch some tv and then bed.

Have a great day!

Warmish.

The four walnuts I found on the ground yesterday.

It’s quiet in my cottage, the dogs and kitten are sleeping and even though the tv is on downstairs I can’t hear it. We went out to the bog this morning and I tried something old with Alma, I thought she has become older so perhaps it will work this time. It is more quiet out there and even though we do see animals every now and again that still can’t compare to a huge tractor passing in front of us, curious calves running towards us and dogs barking in dog yards 🙂

     

To my very big surprise it worked really well! This was only one day but we’ll continue with this for a while and if it works I’ll tell You what we did 🙂 It was fairly warm already in the morning and with almost no wind it did feel like an early spring day.  No birds singing of course but some tweeting from smaller birds flying by and I could hear a Jay screaming from somewhere in the forest plus a few Ravens as well. One moose fly that I managed to get rid of when we had arrived here at home again, they should all be dead by this time of the year but there’s always a few that survives for a longer period I’m afraid.

     

I found eight more walnuts on the ground today and since almost all leafs are gone from the tree now I found seven more up there just waiting to fall down. This year I’ll use a hammer to crack them since they destroyed my very sturdy nut cracker last year 🙂 🙂 🙂 It wasn’t the best nut cracker to be honest but since it was made from thick iron I never thought they would break it 🙂 🙂 🙂 They’re still green on the outside so it’ll take some time until I can crack them open. I hope that they aren’t empty like the few hazelnuts I got 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

It will stay relatively warm and nice for a while now, with that I mean up to 59F as most but it looks like the sun will stay away most of it. I won’t complain even if the sun will hide behind the clouds as long as it is around that temperature. I’m not a fan of winter, truly dislike below freezing temperatures, hate scraping ice from the car windows and hate even more to shovel snow from the ground. To be honest it’s just four meters I really need to shovel and some around the car but I really can’t stand it. Now days winter tends to arrive when we usually was waiting for spring, some time in March and with fierce snow storms. Like this year when it arrived twice, the last time it came at easter just when I had brought home Malkolm. We had had spring for a few weeks by then when the snow arrived again and forced me to take a week of vacation because I couldn’t leave a small puppy in a dog house/ yard when we had well over 40 cm (16 inches) of snow everywhere 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day but I think I’ll skip anything to eat. I’m not hungry and don’t even crave anything sweet, a first time to be honest 🙂

I must say that this little compost works really well.     

Have a great day!

My second favorite weather.

· 2 Comments ·

Well none of us slept especially well last night because a certain kitten decided it was fun to terrorize the dogs 🙂 every now and again she also decided to go close to my head and start to sniff all over my face 🙂 🙂 🙂 She’s a little monster that cat 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

So none of us was especially eager to go out for our walk to be honest 🙂 Then I removed the curtains from the window and noticed that we had wonderful fog and I changed my mind, one never knows for how long it lasts. I didn’t have to worry about it going away though, it lasted for very long after we had come back home. Sometimes it was so thick that the camera couldn’t focus on anything 🙂

     

I really like to walk around on the bog when we can but this year it has rained so much that it has been more or less impossible to and when it is this foggy it would be down right stupid to do so because one can easily get lost even on a sunny day. But we did walk to the bog staying on dry land on my favorite peninsula instead. Alma, who behaved really well for being her today, and Malkolm stared out over the bog. They could both hear and smell what was out there but I could only guess and of course my mind went towards beings and folklore 🙂

     

They’ve changed the weather predictions for the rest of this week from grey, dull and rainy to sunny, dry and almost warm, up to almost 15C (59F) on Friday. You all know by now that that can change several times every day and when Friday finally arrives it might snow instead 🙂 🙂 I don’t think the risk of snow is especially big even though it has already snowed way up north and since they up there seems to like winter they’ve saved snow from last year so they have already started to cross country skiing. Not my cup of tea but I’m not judging peoples strange behaviours 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I think it is time for a pot of tea and perhaps a cookie or two. I might get visitors later this week so I’ve even bought instant coffee so perhaps I’ll have a cup of coffee instead? I’ve only used my coffee maker for tea so if one then suddenly makes coffee in it  it will give a coffee with a side taste of Earl Grey tea 🙂 🙂 🙂

   

Have a great day!

The coldest night so far but since the sun rose and there weren’t any clouds (but morning mist) it soon became a really pleasant morning. We went out to the forest as soon as I could see the sun rising through my kitchen window, no risk of any surviving moose flies in the air when it was that cold.

     

Nova is much better again and the first one to demand food in the morning 🙂 well Sara screams as soon as she think I’m awake but that could be about anything really 🙂 🙂  Nova is too thin though, even though the vet says that she looks great since she’s so old. I think I’ll start giving her more treats, even directly in to her food, better that way since the two other won’t notice it that much if I do it that way 🙂

     

The world isn’t a happy place right now, war in Ukraine, war in the middle east and the risk of Trump becoming a president again feels too big. plus that we have gang wars here in Sweden so it’s times like this it feels really nice to live in a village at the outskirts of the world. Very little happens here any time of the year. The dogs and I are almost always alone on our walks in the forest or out on the bog, the only thing we really need to look out for are angry moose and wild hogs 🙂 Yes we have wolves but they are almost never seen, only tracks made when they have passed by and to be honest, one can never know how moose and hogs will behave if one meet them 🙂

     

That I also have the best neighbors one can get helps a lot as well 🙂 The beekeepers cottage is still empty and not a single person came when they had an open house for buyers. No one wants to buy a place for double what it is worth. I do hope however that it won’t be empty for too long, rodents love that and when they start invading a place things can go down hill pretty fast.  I won $ 9 US on the lottery yesterday but I’m afraid that won’t help me much 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

Have a great day!

Sara has sad eyes, even when she’s hunting Malkolm’s tail she look sad 🙂 The first time she chased Malkolm’s tail he looked horrified 🙂 🙂

Frost last night and this time it hit everywhere. I brought in some unripe tomatoes yesterday so I hope they all will ripen by the window where I’ve hung them. I haven’t actually checked those outdoors today but I doubt they’ll managed to go undamaged.

     

We had a really nice morning walk, it was so cold that not even the moose flies were out flying 🙂 The sun had been up in the sky for a while though so most of the frost had already melted away from the vegetation. I would have liked it to be a bit warmer for the rest of the day though but I guess one can’t have it all 🙂

     

I think Alma look at her self as the mother of all living things and she really is careful when she’s around children, puppies and kittens but for some reason she’s really the opposite when it comes to where she wants to sit or lay down. Today, two times she has either sat down on Sara or laid down over Sara and really haven’t understood why I tore her away or why Sara sounded as if she was fighting for her life, screaming very loud 🙂 🙂 🙂 Sara’s so small that I don’t think she could feel that she was under her 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

Besides that Sara is thriving now. She has now gained just as much weight last week that she actually weighed when we found her, almost 800 grams (1,76 pound)! Her eyes are now clear but I do think she might not  have perfect sight, if I drop some food beside her she knows I’ve dropped it but it takes some time before she can find it. That can of course be totally normal since she’s so young. That in itself doesn’t matter to me but I’ll talk to the vet tomorrow afternoon about it.

     

I haven’t had any nap today so I am a bit tired, how on earth did I manage to stay awake when I worked all day 🙂 🙂 🙂 I haven’t done any chores either, I am already getting lazy 🙂 Well I did bake some bread yesterday but only because I didn’t have any at home and I did go to the store today because I didn’t have either dog or cat food. The dog food will most likely arrive tomorrow but that doesn’t help me today.  The cat is now so important to both Alma and Malkolm that both mostly wants to stay indoors rather than to go outside to the garden or neighbors.  It’ll be nice when this first obsession is over and she is big enough to start pestering them instead, dogs usually comes back to normal when that happens 🙂

       

Have a great day!

 

It feels like it is going the right way.

Yesterday evening.

Sorry about not writing yesterday, I was so tired that I didn’t have any energy over. To be honest I did feel better but once again the night had been disturbed by Alma’s stomach. She’s now on a fish and rice diet and I think I might have to start Malkolm on that too unless he’s better by tomorrow. They are full of energy though and soon there will be no apples on the ground for them to eat 🙂

 

This morning.

I did go to the grocery store yesterday morning and found everything I wanted. I even went and bought myself a couple of trousers. I can’t remember when I bought trousers the last time 🙂 🙂 It’s so much easier to just wear the working trousers when coming home from work and walk out into the forest. I realized however that I really need to have at least one decent pair of trousers if I’m going job hunting 🙂 🙂

     

The thing is that sizes on work trousers aren’t remotely similar to what one find i the stores. I did remember the length size and thinking back I really isn’t even close to how fit I was back then 🙂 🙂 🙂 I took a wild guess and hit it at first guess 🙂 So I grabbed a second pair and was done in fifteen minutes 🙂 I don’t think I was that quick even when I knew my size 🙂 🙂

     

The cold is going the right way, I still have some fever but most of the coughing is gone. It was the right week to get this cold because we’ve had early summer weather here. Cold nights, close to or frost but slightly above 20C (68F). Only a weak wind and yesterday evening started with fog and it stayed all night so we had morning mist until we went out on our morning walk. Today it was cold enough to keep the moose flies calm but I did wear an almost white hoodie, they don’t seem to like them, with the hoodie up. One really don’t want them to crawl around on the head getting stuck in the hair 🙂 🙂 🙂

       

Have a great day!
