  • I guess it’s ok during Christmas :-)

    December 23, 2025

    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 Β πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Also it continued to snow for…

  • It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Well it’s thankfully frost and not snow :-)

    December 22, 2025

    I knew it was going to get colder but I didn’t know it would be that cold. the temperature dropped down to -7C (19,4F) this morning. The fog was gone though and the sky clear so I forgave the cold weather since it would mean sunshine πŸ™‚ One funny thing with fog and below freezing…

  • The next best weather, fog.

    December 21, 2025

    Yesterday they said on tv that we would have fog all day today and usually they’re wrong πŸ™‚ Not today however, fog all day and some time the sun even managed to shine through. No hunters out either so we managed to have rather nice walks today. Β It is supposed to stay well in to…

    I haven’t caught any mouse in over a day and a half now πŸ™‚ I won’t say hooray yet because since I do have a sort of semi wild garden there’s most likely more just waiting to come in πŸ™‚ We couldn’t have our morning walk today because the hunters came, I doubt that they…

    Dark and grey again even though we almost could see the sun for a few seconds in the afternoon πŸ™‚ We were supposed to have rain but it missed us. Perhaps a good thing because there’s so much water in the creek now that if we would get lots more it would overflow. I could…

  • A new morning routine :-)

    December 17, 2025

    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 πŸ™‚ It didn’t give any heat away though so I guess it appeared just for show πŸ™‚ Still we were in the garden enjoying it as much…

  • They behaved really well today :-)

    December 14, 2025

    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…

  • Saint Lucia’s day.

    December 13, 2025

    We didn’t have an especially long morning walk today, we had walked perhaps half of what we usually do when I suddenly heard a shot not especially far from us. It wasn’t our hunters but in the castles grounds neighbouring to this area. Well even if they were outside where we usually walk I really…

  • They are not the most courageous :-)

    December 12, 2025

    So yesterday after it had gone dark I found another little mouse in the box trap. I thought I really couldn’t leave it there all night so I took the trap and started to walk towards the forest. Since I was sure I wouldn’t Β meet anyone (even though there are some people who loves to…

  • Lots of water in the creek.

    December 10, 2025

    So we had a night without any disturbance thankfully but Alma was in a hurry to go outside. She hurried away behind some bushes in the garden so I couldn’t see how bad it was but she’s full of energy and happy so I guess she’s ok. She’s not the one pooping outside the garden…

  • So tired.

    December 9, 2025

    I’m a bit tired today because a certain big dog decided to raid the peanuts that was supposed to go to the birds. Of course this created chaos and havoc to her stomach. If I’m saying high pressure diarrhea due to huge amount of gasses sort of ruined the night πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Today my…

  • Only 13 more days till the winter solstice.

    December 8, 2025

    So I had another little mouse in the box trap this morning, I do hope that’s the last one for this season πŸ™‚ But just in case more will visit I’ve now bought a small travel cage for hamsters on our eBay called Tradera. So if they’ll get caught while it still is dark outside…
