It’s a mushroom year.

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 […]

I’m glad I like toast :-)

Nothing has happened here, I’m still at home since my stomach is quite wobbly and I still haven’t tried cooked food yet. I’m so glad I like toast and rose-hip soup 🙂 🙂 🙂 The weather has been rather mixed. Either strong winds and rain or almost no wind and mostly sunny. I have been […]

Autumn is definitely here now.

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 […]

A bit too heavy.

The day started rather nice, reasonable warm for being an autumn morning and the sun slowly rising. After that it sort of went down hill 🙂 Strong and chilly winds arrived and so did clouds. We did get some sunshine later in the day but the winds were too chilly for the sun to warm […]

Sixteen years old and still going strong :-)

To be honest,Nova is now 16 years and three days old. I should have posted about her in the last post but I wanted to include a very short video(which I hadn’t filmed)  as well and it’s at the bottom of this post. Just click on the bottom post and You should be able to […]

Just a normal Sunday.

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 […]

Frost again.

We had a second morning with frost here today, two in one week is at least one too many and it’s still four more days until it usually arrives. I do hope this isn’t a sign about how winter will be, early and long. The day has been pretty nice though, lots of clouds but […]

The first frost!

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 […]

So we didn’t get any rain at all really :-)

  We didn’t get especially much rain this weekend, almost nothing actually. It went east of us and those places that were hit had more rain on one day than they usually have the entire month of August. So I can’t say I’m sorry it missed us 🙂 High humidity, fairly warm and a dark […]

Good bye forest flies, welcome Moose flies.

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 […]
