We’ve had really mixed weather this week.

We’ve had very mixed weather here this week, anything from sunny and Scandinavian hot to almost chilly and heavy rain. Today however has been rather nice, cool and sunny morning, a few hours with cloudy weather and now sunny and just enough warm. Strong winds blowing all wee though. Wee went down to the creek […]

Longing for that rain and cool weather to arrive.

It has been, for us Scandinavians, nasty hot here with temperatures around 33C (91,4F). Guess if I’m happy to be caring about the public pool in Floby every day 🙂 Today I decided I should sweep all the stairs in the pool and brush away all sand that the bathers had brought in with them […]

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 […]

They tried again.

The morning was cool and nice but after that it has become warmer and warmer again, still the real heatwave won’t arrive until early next week. The temperatures will rise to around 30C (86F) and possibly a bit higher as well. That’s when I’m so happy about working all mornings cleaning a big pool 🙂 […]

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 […]

It’s getting warmer.

It is Scandinavian hot already now but the heat wave will hit us from tomorrow and last at least until Monday if the weather sites are right. We might get some rain and if we do I’m pretty sure it will come with thunder. No where near what they have down in Europe though. So […]

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 […]

Midsummer.

Personally I think we always should celebrate midsummer on the midsummer solstice but that would be inconvenient for businesses so now we celebrate it as earliest at June 19th or as late as June 25th and always on a Friday. Midsummers eve isn’t a holiday but tomorrow is. Still only a few people work today […]

I was lucky to be working outdoors all day.

Nice day but it started with some heavy drizzle. After that however it has mostly been sunny and I was lucky to be able to working outdoors all day long 🙂 First the pool and after that I dug ups lots of raspberry plants at a day care center. They just grew to well and […]

Thunder.

It has mostly been really nice today, lots of sunshine, a few clouds and even some thunder when we were on our way back home after work. It was like the weather just wanted to remind us that we’ll have plenty more of that when it gets warmer. Well I like thunder but I hope […]
