First week soon to be over.

The weather has been rather mixed this first week of my vacation. Everything from sunny and hot to a bit chilly and heavy raining. Today is really nice though, mostly sunshine, a nice breeze and around 20C (68F). It was supposed to be like this yesterday but like always our weather service managed to miss […]

Vacation time :-)

Vacation time and I won’t have to go to work for four weeks πŸ™‚ I must admit that it feels rather good πŸ™‚ The day did move slower than frozen molasses though πŸ™‚ I had things to paint all day and time should have flown but I guess that I longed for vacation too much […]

The coolest looking beetle.

Really mixed weather here today, very windy, sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy and a lot of the time rainy. Most of the times a nice gentle summer rain but every now and again heavy showers. It’s exciting to stay outdoors because one never knows what will happen πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ The weather was stable when we had […]

Finally cool air and rain :-)

It rained quite a lot here this morning and it has also cooled down considerable so it feels like life is back on track again. It has also blown quite a lot so the walk after work was really nice since both flies and mosquitoes blew away from us πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I have two […]

Midsummer.

The morning was just cool enough to keep the flies away but still warm enough to let the mosquitoes fly around when we went out on our morning walk at 5:30 am. We couldn’t stand still for especially many seconds before we were swarmed by the annoying insects and now all the dogs have itching […]

They’re guessing we’ll get rain tomorrow.

It has been so hot this week that we haven’t been on walks at all. Nova is old and Albins fur isn’t good at regulating his temperature. Even Alma has been a bit off because of it. I’ve been working in my old department at work and it’s even hotter in there than standing in […]

Felt warmer than it was.

The thermometer said it wasn’t that hot today, 23C (73,4F) but the dogs said otherwise. The cool wind should have helped one could think but it didn’t. I mostly hid in the shadows so to me the day has been pretty nice πŸ™‚ It was rather cool in the early morning though and it seems […]

The fly season has started, yay.

My neck is feeling a bit better today, I’ve stretched itΒ  back and forwards, very slowly, all day long. I did however wake up in the middle of night when I tried to turn and had to sort of lift my head while turning around πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Fell asleep directly as soon as I […]

Falling down :-)

My kitchen stairs are just two steps but when a slipper gets caught in a nail that has grown up from the wood it still is pretty high when falling down to the ground πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Most of me hit a sack of peat and my first thought was that I had broken the […]

Alma is so much more careful when playing with her.

We once again woke up just before the sun was about to rise above the mountains and it felt really cold for the first time in a long time. To be honest it wasn’t that cold, the thermometer said it hadn’t been colder than 9C (48,2F) and warmer than that is still fairly uncommon here […]

The nettles slid down my arm.

I have a thorn in one of my fingers and it hurts every time I press down a key with it so now I’m trying to not use it at all. I can see the thorn so I’ll get it out after this. I have the thorn there just because I cleared out another area […]
