It felt like an autumn day.

The temperature never rose above 12C (53,6F) today and I think that if I hadn’t known it will rise up to 20C (68F) already tomorrow it would have annoyed me quite a bit 🙂 but I have to say it did feel rather nice despite it also raining well in to the afternoon. We needed […]

Finally rain :-)

We didn’t get especially much rain during last night but what difference it made to the vegetation! Everything looked alive and that wasn’t the case yesterday. I must admit that I still felt a bit disappointed but it is what it is. We woke up around 3 am today and normally I would just have […]

Sun warm strawberries.

I’m sitting here in front of the computer eating strawberries that my neighbours kids thought I should have 🙂 Yes I am spoiled 🙂 🙂 They had been to one of the many self picking places today because the season for strawberries is almost open and this was supposed to be the last weekend they […]

Scandinavian hot again.

26C (78,8F) now in the afternoon and even though there’s a wind blowing it still feels a bit too warm. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to live in a place where this is a rather low temperature 🙂 🙂 🙂 The morning was nice though, 13C (55,4F) just as the sun […]

A really nice morning.

So we had a rather cool morning today so the morning walk was totally fly free 🙂 It was only when we were almost at home it became warm enough for the flies to start annoying me. To be honest though, we do have almost alarmingly few flies and mosquitoes this year. You who have […]

So hot!

I really don’t understand how people can live in these high temperatures. It rose to 35C (95F) quite early in the day but then we had a short lived thunderstorm passing by so the temperature dropped to 22C (71,6F) It did however not take long before we had 35C (95F) again after that plus the […]

They behaved so well.

My neighbour and I went to the pool to do the tests and check the repair I had done on a thin tube earlier in the week. It was so nice there now in the morning before anyone was awake enough to even consider going to the pool . The water is heated so even […]

Most of it seems to have missed us.

They warned us of heavy showers and thunderstorms today but so far we’ve had a light thunder passing by and a gentle summer rain. From what I can see on the weather sites it’s over for this time. I do wonder where those heavy showers were. We had sunshine when we were out on our […]

A typical summer day.

Very mixed weather here but it has had the same temperature all day long, 15C (59F). Not much to brag about but it is what it is. So I have actually worn a sweater all day even when the sun has been shining. It rained all the time when we were out on our morning […]

Very mixed weather.

So we’ve had a week with very mixed weather, some sunshine, some rain, a bit of hail and we even had thunder two days ago. I helped with moving furnitures in a pre school when the hail started. One little kid came to me and said don’t go outside the run is pouring down and […]

No need to water anything today.

I managed to stay in bed for one hour longer than yesterday despite the dogs doing their best to drag me up and outside to the garden 🙂 I have no idea what they wanted but they ran a lap along the fence and then they wanted to go indoors again, so I refused 🙂 […]

Morning mist.

It has been a rather wonderful day, despite me having to mow the lawn when it was wet. Both my neighbour and I have waited to mow the lawn with the hope that it would dry up, so stupid because of course it won’t 🙂 🙂 🙂 So we both started to mow at the […]
