We’ve had a rather nice day over here. It started out cloudy but then the clouds broke up and after that it’s been rather sunny. Lots of smaller clouds up there in the sky but still sunny enough to warm up my little cottage. I went to the optician yesterday and this time it was […]
It’s not the nicest of days here. It rained quite a lot last night so the humidity is high but the temperature is low. There’s a rawness in the air that tells me that autumn definitely has arrived. There was actually some sunshine when we were out walking this morning but I can’t say it […]
This Sunday has passed like most other Sundays. I’ve done the laundry and dinner for next week at work. Not the most exciting of days but the dinner was mostly made by the slow cooker so all I had to do was to go outside and collect the vegetables and potatoes and then put it […]
We had our first morning with frost yesterday. The temperature sunk to 0C (32F) for just long enough time to give me a sheet of ice over the entire car. I can’t say I liked it 🙂 🙂 🙂 Normally the first frost arrives at September 6 so it came a week early. When I’m […]
We might get up to 80 mm or three and one fifth inches of rain this weekend (or possibly even more, it all depends on where the showers will pass). At the moment we’re having a nice gentle summer rain and almost no winds to speak of. The dogs won’t go outside in it but […]
Yesterday evening they moved the cattle from the pasture beside my cottage to the one on the other side, beside my garage. Normally I really wouldn’t notice it but suddenly I heard the farmer calmly say no, no, no. I figured it was one of the cows that wanted to follow the road instead of […]
It is still rather warm here, 25C (77F) and I can’t remember when we had this high temperatures this late in August the last time. It’s actually quite nice since we also have had a nice breeze blowing. It will continue like this until at least the weekend if they’re guessing right. It is amazing […]
The weekend has been rather nice. Fog a big part of yesterday morning and sunshine in the afternoon. Today chilly and sunny in the early morning with just a tad of morning mist and this afternoon is just enough warm with a light but cool breeze. High humidity though and that sort of brings down […]
Clear sky and 8C (46,4F) when we went out on our morning walk today. At 10:30 the sky was still clear and blue but the temperature had risen to 26C (78,8F). Still a clear and blue sky and now it’s 29C (84,2F) and I’m not sure if it stops there or will get even warmer. […]
I’ve survived the two first day back to work 🙂 It hasn’t been that hard to be honest and I’m not sure half of us are back yet. When I grew up all industries had the summer vacation period at the same time, four weeks so it was called general industrial holiday. Suddenly Volvo I […]
So today is the last day of my vacation, tomorrow is just an ordinary weekend. One could say that the vacation actually goes on until Sunday but I prefer to feel that Sunday’s just another Sunday and the day after is a work day, feels less dramatic that way 🙂 Still I could win the […]
It rained during last night and it was quite nice to step outside when I let the dogs out. We didn’t get especially much though but any drop helps. We didn’t have any morning walk today because I wanted to go to the pet store and buy that spray that ticks don’t like. I guess […]
