Category: The Cat.

It was cold this morning when the dogs, monster kitten and I woke up. -14C (6,8F) but there was no wind at all so when I walked out in to the shine from the rising sun it actually felt rather nice even though I only wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants. It didn’t take long before I could hear drops dripping from the roof.

Still I can’t say that the snow did a lot of melting during the day even though it did become rather warm. Today the birds started to sing again and I could hear cranes from fields not too far away. I could also hear Alma the entire walk because today she decided that whining in a high pitched tone would make us all happy πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ She did behave very well otherwise. Instead I had to scold Malkolm because he decided that if Alma was supposed to walk without pulling the leash someone else had to πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I haven’t done much today though, applied for some jobs and been outside in the garden every now and again. The snow is slowly melting around the early spring bulbs but that’s it. This is the time of year when newly plants die, the ones planted last autumn that is. Their roots haven’t spread down properly Β in to the ground so if the ground still is frozen they’ll dry out pretty quickly when the warmer weather comes, that little soil that they brought with them from the pot will dry out really quickly and since the ground is frozen it can’t get any moisture from it. So just before the cold weather would arrive I was outside watering everything I planted last autumn and those plants that live on the border to what they can manage. All I can do now is to wish that I watered enough.

Everything down in the cool cellar are now getting tiny leafs, rather annoying since I can’t bring anything of it outside and since one of the plant lights I had broke so it is a bit too dark down there now. Can’t do much about it though, not until the nights a get warmer. As soon as they’ve gotten used to be outside they usually can take a night or two in a row without getting damaged. Doesn’t look like that will happen in the closest seven day πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I think I have one peach tree, five apricots, two red mulberries and lots of quince seedlings and even though mice? (could also be a monster kitten πŸ™‚ ) have chewed on all the giant sequoias it still looks like four of them have survived, cross Your fingers and hold Your thumbs for good luck πŸ™‚

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and I hope that it will warm up quickly tomorrow morning (after a pretty cold night again) so I don’t have to scrape ice from the car before I’ll go to the supermarket πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

The snow started to fall already yesterday afternoon, just tiny flakes but with time they grew bigger and multiplied as well. I’m not surprised because this always happens after the first crane has arrived πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I’m not a fan of it though, I would have preferred it to stay green and nice. The weather sites seems to agree that this is the last snow for this time and from Thursday and eight days into the future we’ll have cold nights but fairly warm and sunny days, none of us will believe that’ll happen until it does πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

The wind today is a bit nasty so we had our morning walk in the forest where it couldn’t reach us. All birds were quiet, even the jays and ravens seems to have thought this weather was just too much πŸ™‚ Yes I admit that it does look pretty with snow everywhere but it is enough to see it in photos and post cards πŸ™‚ Back in the days warm weather like we had just a day ago was quite unusual in March. March was sort of the last winter month and April could go either way. Just around 21 years ago we still had winter the first of May when I opened my garden centre. It was so cold that I couldn’t bring out any spring flowers.

Now days it’s rather unusual to have winter at all in April, the only exception in recent years was last April when I brought home Malkolm, we had had spring temperatures for quite some time when easter came and Malkolm as well plus a snowstorm we haven’t had in years πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ 40cm (16 inches) of snow here but not far away they had 90cm (36 inches) during one day πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Β I don’t miss the old winters but they were more predictable. Winter now days seems to be shorter but more intense when they come.

Since the wind can’t reach my garden I thought it would be a good idea to let the monster kitten meet snow for the first time πŸ™‚ Well I would be lying if I said I think she likes it πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ She just stood still looking at all this white garbage on the ground and falling from the sky. So I brought her to the apple tree where she was the last time she was outside with the rest of us, she didn’t like that either and suddenly she started to shiver so I put her inside my jacket and brought her inside again. I think I honestly can say that there’s at the moment no risk she freely would go outside again until the snow is gone πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Spring flowers are thankfully used to setbacks in the weather but I was surprised to see this spring iris in bloom now.

It is time for a pot of tea and perhaps read a book or see if they show any interesting re-run on tv. I can also take a nap even though last night was the first night in some time that I slept really well.

Have a great day!

Another wonderful spring day.

So any photo with sunshine is from yesterday.

Two days with temperatures above 10C (50F). Yesterday sunshine all day and today we weren’t supposed to have sunshine so it started to shine after we had come back from our morning walk and lasted almost until the sun was about to set. It has been so nice to being outside but colder weather is on the way. Tomorrow will be the last day with spring temperatures and after that it’ll cool down a lot.

However one isn’t getting any wiser by looking at the weather sites Β because they show so different temperatures that it’s impossible to even guess πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So I’ll do my best to enjoy tomorrow and the sunshine we’ll get.

Most of the cold is gone now but I still have the coughing and I know it most likely will stay for quite some time. I’ve either coughed so hard or sneezed, because I do that as well, that a new little muscle most likely is ruptured but now on my right back side. I know it isn’t Alma this time because she has behaved exemplary these last days. The only thing she still does that annoys me is the whining but actually less than normal. We have of course only walked where the risk of meeting anyone is minimal but I’m still impressed!

I drove to the grocery store yesterday and checked if I could see any Crane but no such luck, lots of different geese and what we call song swans (relatives to Trumpet swans). I think however that I heard a crane this morning but the sound was hard to hear because it was from a long distance. Still they will start arriving any day soon now πŸ™‚

The first one I found today. The sun broke through and the croci opened up πŸ™‚

Yesterday I also allowed Sara to be outside with us. The door was open because I was going in and out of it for a while and then she nonchalantly tried to walk outside not knowing I had my eyes on her the entire time πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So I carried her around in the garden and then let her walk on the biggest branch of my biggest apple tree. I think she liked it but she wasn’t even close to want to go outside today, lots to so through for her I guess πŸ™‚

It is time for that last cup of tea and then watch some tv I think πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

Windy.

More or less s storm outside and it will be worse during the night so we haven’t had any walk today, too dangerous to walk amongst trees in these winds. The steady wind isn’t that bad but the gusts are, we’ve spent a lot of time in the garden instead, not the same but better than nothing.

Alma is close to ending being in heat and Malcolm’s injection is close to sick in to a 100% so tonight Malkolm and I won’t be leashed together so all of You cross Your fingers and hold Your thumbs for good luck and that my guess is right πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I’ll also go the the grocery store for the first time in a long time tomorrow and I’ll bring the dogs, Alma in the back seat so she has plenty of space to be tangled into the safety belts πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ and Malkolm beside me in the passenger seat. The winds will still be strong so it’ll be fun to drive to the top of the mountain with no shelter from the forest πŸ™‚ No risk of tipping over in the gusts but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a bumpy ride πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It is soon time to bring out the monster kitten to the garden, I’ll need to make some kind of harness because I don’t want her to walk away by her own already now. She’s too small to meet any of the bigger cats in the area on her own yet. It is so much easier in summer when the doors are open all day and she can walk in and out as she pleases and most likely won’t walk away too far, I can say that all she wants right now is to wander the world by her self and she’s really not prepared for that.

It is time for that last cup of tea and then watch some tv.

Have a great day!

Feeling better and spring’s approaching :-)

We’ve had a couple of wonderful spring days here. Chilly nights perhaps but sunny and warm days. The birds are singing spring songs and I hear the drum rolls from woodpeckers all over the forest. Earlier in February I also heard the owls when it went dark and I do like that sound. Haven’t heard the foxes or the Lynx so far though.

The cold is slowly going away, it shows no hurry to do so though but it is easier to breathe now when the pain is almost gone but a too deep breath only starts the coughing again πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ It doesn’t feel like I’ve run a half marathon when we come back home after our walks either thankfully. By the way the photos You’ll see today can be from three days, two days ago or from today.

The monster-kitten is back to her evil ways, every day she attacks the dogs πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Alma has finally started to react to it so the little monster has realised she’s best to use when napping and not playing πŸ™‚ Malkolm still accepts that she chews on him but then again he’s just a year old yet so that might change. His shot has finally started to kick in while Alma slowly is going out of heat. Every now and again though they show that I still can’t trust them being alone for any longer period of time πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I must say that being leashed to him during nights is working without any problems at all, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have said that if it was Alma who had to be leashed to me, she would have been dragging me on the floors all over the cottage πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day. I’ll have nothing to eat though, a good thing with this cold is that I haven’t been hungry at all, normally no sickness of any kind has dampened my appetite but this one has πŸ™‚ I’ve been under surgery lots of time and every time I have woken up I’ve asked when I can have something to eat πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

Warmer winds.

So today was the last day with cold weather and sunshine for quite some time it seems, I’ll miss the sunshine but not the temperatures πŸ™‚ The low pressure is arriving with a roaring wind now and it might even be as warm as 10C (50F) already on Saturday.

This morning however was still pretty cold and the sun shone as well. Thankfully once again totally wind free (it arrived later in the day) so it was quite nice being outside walking. Alma behaved reasonable well but Malkolm pulled the leash instead. He’s not that big and strong though so that isn’t so bad to be honest but if Alma isn’t allowed to do it neither is he. I must start thinking about the possibility that the tutor on my kidney has grown and that I’ll get treatment during the summer so having dogs pulling the leash when I most likely won’t be especially strong is a bad idea. However we aren’t there yet so perhaps I can make them both calm down by then.

I’m so lucky that my neighbour works in a supermarket now when Alma is in heat and the shot Malkolm had doesn’t work properly yet because I realised that the cat litter wouldn’t last for long so she brought home a bag for me plus I suddenly had a craving for some soda, I normally don’t drink soda unless I have a head ache so it will be something with caffein in it. Today I wanted something else, so now I have pear soda at home. I didn’t think they still made that so when she said they sold it I really wanted it πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I remember when being at my mormors’ (grandmother on my mothers side) I was always allowed to go downstairs to get a soda and I usually chased between raspberry soda or pear soda πŸ™‚ I was also always allowed to take an ice cream if I wanted to πŸ™‚

The monster kitten was allowed to be without the cone of shame for a couple of hours today and she really enjoyed it. Tomorrow it’ll be eight days after surgery so I’ll allow her to be without it even longer and on Saturday she will not have it any more. It should be totally healed already now I think but it might still be a bit fragile I guess so better be safe than sorry. The scar doesn’t seem to bother her at all though Β  but to be honest neither does the cone πŸ™‚ The only thing is that the the place where the cone is tied together seems to be itching, as soon as it goes off the itching stops.

Today I won’t have that last cup of tea for the day, instead I’ll have some pear soda πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

A tad chilly :-)

For being me I woke up quite late this morning, I can’t say that it was anything but dark outside but I could see that it slowly was going towards brighter where the sun would rise. I took a look at the thermometer and then I took a new look at it, -18C (-0,4F). Β It was cold outside but it didn’t feel that cold because of low humidity and no wind. I took a look at the stars and Betelgeuse is still shining bright orange up there. It is 645,2 lightyears away so even if it had gone supernova 500 years ago we still wouldn’t know about it πŸ™‚

The bitter cold weather we’ve had for a few days now will soon leave us. On Tuesday the day suddenly will have above 0C (32F) temperatures but nights will still be pretty chilly. Well I’m not out and about at nights so I don’t mind that but it feels nice that day temperatures will be more pleasant again. I think it was still -15C (5F) when we went out on our morning walk but the sun gave away quite a lot of heat so I enjoyed it quite a lot. Thankfully neither Alma nor Malkolm have sensitive paws. We weren’t supposed to have any snow the other day so of course it snowed πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ we didn’t get much though but I still don’t like it but it does make things look more beautiful to be honest.

Sara the monster kitten seems to feel much better now, she even tried to jump up on the aquarium this morning πŸ™‚ it didn’t work of course and I think I like that cone πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ As soon as we get more stable warm weather I’ll bring her out so that she can start inspecting her domains. Since I think her mother was/ is one of the farm cats up the road I do hope they won’t be too hard on her, my neighbours cats might be something else though, they have reigned in my garden for a couple of years now and might not want to resign.

Nothing much else has happened here like it should be. Tomorrow I’ll go to the grocery store in Gudhem to buy a few things I don’t have at home. I’ll bring the dogs. Alma will have the back seat all for herself and Malkolm in the passenger seat beside me. That would make it very hard for them to reach each other just in case, I really don’t want puppies no matter how cute they are πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It is time for that last cup of tea and after that it would have been nice to just go to bed but that would most likely just mean I’ll wake up a couple of hours earlier instead πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

That made grocery shopping a bit more tricky :-)

Β 

Last night just before I fell asleep I heard a what I think is a fox kill an animal, could have been a hare but didn’t think much about it. Hares cane make the most horrible sounds, as my mother always says, when they are killed they sound like a woman getting stabbed with a knife in her back. I would perhaps say it differently πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ but it’s true. It didn’t sound quite like that but I couldn’t figure out what else it could be.

-14C (6,8F) this morning but wonderful sunshine and no wind so it didn’t feel bad at all πŸ™‚

It wasn’t until this morning when I couldn’t find the monster kitten I started to worry about it. After all she’s small and really fast when she wants to so I started to wonder if she possibly had managed to get out, I was however still pretty sure she was asleep on one of the sofas when we walked up to the bedroom. I had looked everywhere downstairs and just couldn’t find her. So I said to Alma find the kitten and it took her ten seconds by showing me that she was sleeping in my bed πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ :-)Alma is a natural when it comes to find missing things she knows what they are called. Every time Malkolm disappears I just tell her to get Β Malkolm an a short time after she brings him home πŸ™‚ Good thing because one of my neighbours daughters are amazingly quick to vanish from the surface of the earth, so far she’s never been really lost but if that would happen I’m sure Alma would find her quickly.

It actually looks like The monster has accepted the punishment of having a cone around her head πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ She isn’t stopped by it in any way, she just finds a new way to handle reality and so far it has worked great. She was of course not too happy this morning but thankfully the painkillers she’s gotten she’s up and about almost like normal. It does help a lot that they have given the pill a taste of something she really likes so she just ate it out of my hand πŸ™‚

Alma is supposed to be in heat next month, that’s why Malkolm got his injection yesterday, it takes around a month before it is working at 100% So I wasn’t the least surprised to find out that she’s in heat now πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ :-)She is really good at taking care of any blood but yesterday evening I found a small drop on the floor. Thankfully he hasn’t shown too much interest in her yet and with each day it should be less and less but I once had surprise puppies after a dog was here (a brother to one of my dogs, old Erna) where he got the injection too late and my old Erna went in to heat. He never showed any interest in her until I had to go away for two hours πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Even though this was anything but good those dogs were the most easygoing dogs I’ve ever had here πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Orvar and Hector had two sisters as well and they were just as wonderful (yes the new owners knew about it).

Grocery shopping will be a bit difficult now though because I really can’t leave those two alone in the dog yard. So I’ll either have to bring them in the car if I just need something small and I just have to go to the small grocery store in Gudhem but I can thankfully ask my neighbour who works in a super market if she can help me if I need a bit more πŸ™‚ I really have the best of neighbours πŸ™‚

It is time for a last cup of tea, in fact I already have it here by the computer πŸ™‚ and then most likely read a book because I doubt there will be anything interesting on tv.

Have a great day!

The vet visit.

The photos will be a mix taken these last days.

I had set the alarm today because we were going to the vet this morning. Malkolm would get the chemical neutering and Sara the real surgery. We were all up long before the alarm started so we even could go back to bed and just wait for it to start :-)Well I couldn’t leave Alma at home because I like try little cottage and the little I have here in my home. I couldn’t leave her in the dog yard because this is not the time to renovate it, too cold to even try to dig down net in the ground πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So she came along as well.

Alma hates car rides but jumped in to the car, Malkolm loves car rides but refused to put his paws in the car at all πŸ™‚ So it was a bit tricky to even lave the village πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I didn’t have to scrape any ice from the car even though it was well below freezing point so I took that as a good omen πŸ™‚ The ride to the vet was unusually calm, Alma only whined a little and managed to tie her and Malkolm together with the seat belts. She calmed down even more when she could put her nose outside the car on both sides, the inside of the car went a bit chilly but it was worth it πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

We could course not bring Alma when it was time to insert the chemical neutering in Malkolm so she had to stay in the office. The vet said this will hurt and he must be absolutely still so he called the ones working there. The syringe was pretty big so I held Β Malkolm firmly and so did two employees as well. That when we all heard Alma shouting her lungs out so I said For heavens sake You didn’t leave her alone there because nothing will remain πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Β but there was one person still there to keep her as calm as she could πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Turns out Malkolm didn’t feel a thing and was so happy when three people hugged him so much πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I had to go back and pick up Sara before lunch and she was not a happy camper but I doubt that she actually managed to notice that we were going back home again. They checked her ears and it turns out she had ear mange so we went to the pharmacy on our way home. Almost the first thing she did was to tear off the cone of shame but I managed to make it a bit more tight but still let hear breathe so I hope it stays on at least during the night, she’s supposed to have it for ten days but that’ll never happen πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ The toughest job will be to keep the dogs away so they don’t clean the area where the surgery took place. I won’t argue with her if the cone at least stays for four days πŸ™‚

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and hope there will be something interesting on tv. I doubt that though πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

I only had to call twice to make it work :-)

Must have been a full moon last night.

We had sunshine for quite some time yesterday and even sunshine for hours today, It was around noon when the clouds managed to cover the sun fully. Also in the morning there was a thin cloud layer but the sun managed to shine through it. Β From now on days will stay just below 0C (32F) but nights will get pretty cold, we might even have the chance to see more of the sun if we’re lucky.

The beekeeper still have his bees here, I don’t think he will be in a hurry to get them since the price for the property is insanely overpriced.

So yesterday I got the new 5G router sent to me. I know I always get frustrated when changing system and nothing ever goes like one wants so I just left the package on the counter until this morning. It is never a good sign when they write must read the instructions before trying to connect. So the first thing I did after our morning walk was to pick out all the things in the packages and to read the instructions. To be honest there wasn’t that much to read more than put up antenna first of all because the system is designed that way.

Ok and of course it said the antenna works much better if it is outdoors. Well they really don’t care if the cables are long enough to put the antenna (a square little thing) at its best location, towards the south east. Well I was lucky there because I could put it on one side of the cottage that is placed south to south east or round the corner with is south east to east. The first wall would have been so much better because then I could just use a ladder to reach the highest point (just three meters above the ground. However the antenna cable wasn’t long enough for that.

The old hunters lodge.

Instead I had to lean out from the window upstairs and put it under my window. Leaning out like that while trying to fasten the holder with four small screws isn’t nice and when I was going to put the antenna in the holder it turns out I’ve placed the holder way too close to the windowsill, if I ever have to remove it I’ll have to break either the windowsill or the antenna πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ The antenna needs electricity so I plugged it in, placed the router on the desk (apparently I should have screwed it to a wall or something but I thought it would be better to have it on the desk.

Well, turns out that there is a cable that needs to be attached from the antenna to the router so at the moment everything is placed just inside the window and I’m pretty sure the monster kitten will do her best to tear it all away during the night πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I’m also pretty sure that if I screw it to the wall beside the window she’ll try even harder to rip it off plus then she’ll have lots of cable she can chew on as well πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I’m mostly proud of that I only had to call my phone company twice to get it to work πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It is time to get that last cup of tea for the day, I’ll have nothing to eat though because we had pancakes today and even though we ate those pretty early in the day I still feel full.

Have a great day!

I should have used one more egg.

Β 

Β 

So they said the sun would make an appearance in the afternoon today, it didn’t. They are saying we’ll have sunshine all day tomorrow and I’ll believe it if it happens πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Still we had a really nice walk this morning, yes alma did pull the leash a lot but she didn’t whine! I’ve noticed that I’m much more patient with her when she doesn’t whine, that sound eats its way in to the brain and slices it into pieces and when she doesn’t whine I’m not that hard on her when she pulls the leash πŸ™‚

Β 

The hunters were supposed to be here both yesterday and today but I don’t think anyone showed up, the weather hasn’t been with them at all. They were supposed to hunt for hares but I have barely seen even one since last summer. The hare plague comes and goes here so I guess it was here this summer and now it’ll take a few years until they’ve grown in numbers again. We humans can actually get the hare plague via mosquito bites and it can end badly as we also can get vole fever and that can also end badly. Vole fever thankfully only if one get rid of their droppings and don’t wear a face mask. Starts like a cold and after that it just goes down hill.

I made a shrimp and vegetable pie today. The pie crust was excellent and didn’t sink a bit but the filling never really got thicker. The taste however was really yummy so I had no problems eating it πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I think I had an egg too little for the filling. I didn’t want a huge pie, after all it is only for me so I reduced the ingredients with a third, I shouldn’t have done that with the egg I think πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ but the taste is the only thing that matters to be honest, so I could actually say that today I had a soup pie πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I’ve had a little setback with the flu today, I started to boil when we were out on our morning walk and the coughing has been worse. I also have a slight headache but I think that one comes from our walks and Almas’ pulling the leash, she is rather erratic and open never knows when she’ll try and run forward in high speed πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚Β 

The Monster kitten is attacking poor Malkolm ferociously.

and Alma is so happy that it isn’t her πŸ™‚

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and after that fixing the dishes awaits.

Have a great day!

After that she had a well deserved nap πŸ™‚

Why did they waste paper on that?

The “lake” behind the dog yard.

Β 

We’ve had sunshine for one and a half day!!! It felt like walking around in another world, birds were singing, the air smelled wonderful and I even felt a hope that the world soon would turn back to its normal violent self without that fat orange man creating chaos. Now the grey and duck weather has returned but they’re guessing next week will give us lots of sunshine. We’ll see if that happens.

I got a letter from my phone company that said the order was done. I had absolutely idea what that meant but wasn’t too worried because it didn’t cost anything πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ It drove me slightly crazy though not to know what it was so I called the company. Even they were a bit confused (and I didn’t have to wait for more than three minutes until I got help?!!) but then we realised that I had created a new e-mail address and that must be what the order was πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Why on earth do they send me over five pages to tell me that, without actually telling me what it was πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Β πŸ™‚

Then the guy said: You’re paying an awful lot for Your internet, both the phone and the computer, so now they’ll send me a new router with 5G connection, we lowered the amount of data for the phone but I now have unlimited amount for the computer and this will cost me around $ 25 US a month less than before. Normally I would perhaps not bothered that much but now when I’m unemployed I took it. Apparently this new router will have an antenna and I have a wild monster kitten, could be fun to try and get the best signal for the router πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I also called the vet so that Sara can be neutered and Malkolm get a chemical neutering that will last for six months because soon Alma will be in heat. They couldn’t answer but the answering machine said to leave a message and they would call me back. Two hours passed and no call back. I’ll have to call again on Monday so it gets done. I don’t like this chemical thing, one never know what hormones will do besides what it should but since the prices are so insanely high it must be done this time.Β 

I also went to the grocery store in the village where I used to work this morning. I’ve done my grocery shopping there since I moved to this region. 27 years now, so even if it is a bit far to go there I still want to do it every now and again. After that I went to the factory and had a chat with all my old work friends and they aren’t happy. Very little to do in most parts of the factory. The main problem though is the same as when I worked there, the leadership. If You’re a leader in a work place Your job is to make people feel they are important and make them like the workplace, that isn’t happening there I’m afraid.

The sun is actually already giving away some heat noe, a bit early but I like it, nights the temperature can drop down to -8 C (17,6F) This is a season we call Springwinter. Not spring because it is still too cold at nights but not winter either because it is too warm during the days. A prefect season for picnics πŸ™‚

It is time for a last cup of tea and then my favourite show on tv.Β 

Have a great day!
