A really nice morning.

So we had a rather cool morning today so the morning walk was totally fly free πŸ™‚ 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 […]

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 […]

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 πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ™‚ […]

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 πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So we both started to mow at the […]

Really nice fog this morning.

We had thick fog here this morning when I woke up and since it was fairly warm I guessed it wouldn’t stay for especially long, so I was in no hurry to go out for our morning walk. I realised after a while that it didn’t evaporate at all so out we went. Fog is […]

Another very pleasant day.

We went out on our morning walk quite early today, so that it wasn’t too warm to wear a fleece sweater when the sun reached me. We saw a couple of roe deer and the sound of the cuckoo birds echoed all over the area. The Monster decided that she would follow us on the […]

So much rain and I want more.

It has rained here since yesterday afternoon, I don’t have a rain meter but a friend of mine has gotten just more than an inch of rain. I now have two full water barrels and three on they way to become that and each can contain around 325 litres (around 84 gallons US). I think […]

Finally some rain.

We did get some rain last night, nice spring rain last evening and by the looks of it most likely drizzle for the rest of the night. Well we got rain and that’s the important thing. They’re guessing there’s a 95% chance of rain every day until Saturday night. They also say it’ll become warmer […]

I didn’t expect to meet that on our walk.

Greylags on they way out to the bog. A beautiful sunrise and a cold morning, not as cold as yesterday but cold enough to kill the plants that had survived yesterday but was badly hit by the frost yesterday. My neighbours tomato plants said good buy and the one I had in the greenhouse Β that […]
