Wildlife a bit too close.

  So another cold night and morning. We did actually have some sunshine even though it shone through thin clouds. We managed to have the beginning of our morning walk while it was calm but the closer we came to home the more the wind started to blow.  We neither heard or saw any animals […]

Well it is winter.

  A rather grey and dull day today but thankfully just a weak wind blowing from east. I can’t remember when the wind came from east for this long in my life. Usually we get western winds from the ocean here and that’s when I don’t notice them at all here in the garden 🙂 […]

And then it blows some more.

  I keep telling myself that at least the electricity will be on the less expensive side but it doesn’t help any more 🙂 🙂 I guess I would mind less if the wind at least changed direction so it doesn’t reach my home but it will mostly stay the same with the exception of […]

A nice visitor :-)

  Windy and cold all day but I did see a little patch of blue sky when we went out on our morning walk. I had been to the supermarket before we went out though to buy yeast. I tried baking soda bread but I’m never good at it, plus don’t eat too much soda […]

Cold again but at least sunny.

I had to go to the supermarket this morning because since Malkolm will be neutered tomorrow I don’t want to leave him until he has healed properly. I’m not the least worried he would do anything to the area (I guess there won’t be any stitches that he can try and remove though) but I’m […]

Finally, it is getting less cold!

  It is slowly but steadily getting less cold now and that makes me smile. Thankfully we had clouds covering the sky during most parts of last night so it wasn’t as cold as they guessed it would be but to cold for me 🙂 So it almost felt warm when we went out for […]

I guess it’s ok during Christmas :-)

They said the chance/ risk, depending on how one look at it, that we in southern Sweden would get a white christmas was slim to none, so I wasn’t especially surprised when I let the dogs out this morning that we had snow on the ground  🙂 🙂 🙂 Also it continued to snow for […]

A new morning routine :-)

We’ve had two really grey and dark days but today the sun suddenly appeared again (of course not while we were out walking) and it felt really strange 🙂 It didn’t give any heat away though so I guess it appeared just for show 🙂 Still we were in the garden enjoying it as much […]

They behaved really well today :-)

Rain all day long, not even the monster likes to go outside. It is warmish outside though but that doesn’t help much since we really can’t be outside anyway. The travel cage for hamsters that I bought arrived today so I went to the grocery store in Gudhem to pick it up. They have so […]

Mice and Christmas bread.Mice.

  Nothing much have happened here today. I noticed the other day that the monsterkitten has been a bit sloppy when it comes to hunting mice because I found mouse poop in the cool cellar. So I put up a box trap and filled it with coconut flakes. Our mice love coconut and I think […]

Another cold day, the temperature reached 0C (32F) as highest and to be honest that’s not so cold this time of year now days. I remember one year, about 21 years ago when winter started with snow and below freezing temperatures all the time in October and it lasted until early May. Lots of snow […]

Normally or perhaps back in the days we would have winter now, mostly the temperatures would stay way below 0C (32F) at nights and barely reach above it if it even managed to do that. To be honest, I don’t miss it at all 🙂 🙂 🙂 I know the greenhouse effect and climate change […]
