After painting the second coat of primer (picture in tomorrow’s post), the door looked a bit better. It doesn’t hold up for closer scrutiny but I’m confident it will look great after two coats of white paint. Since my knee felt ok after yesterday’s small hike, I wanted to do longer hike today. I didn’t…

I needed a railing on the short side of the porch so the first task of the day was to do some precision sawing to get my 2×4 exactly the correct length to fit between the column and the wall. I erred on the safe side and my plank was one millimetre too long. Too little…

This is the extended weekend I was supposed to do a 4-day hike but which I had to cancel because I just didn’t know if my knee would hold or not. So then it was going to be a 4-day weekend at the cabin, giving me a chance to test the knee on day hikes.…

I painted two out of the remaining three windows before a late lunch, and then drove to Djupdalsvallen to finish off my vacation with a waffle. I’m a little bit shocked but I think I’m getting over waffles… or at least the whipped cream on top. The coffee was good though, as usual. My knee…

Can’t say that I got a lot of rest at night, there are too many new things when sleeping in a tent that I couldn’t really sleep. Earplugs took away the sounds, but it was light and the mattress was uncomfortable and the sleeping bag felt weird and the pillow was too small… I gave…

This is finally it! I’m going to conquer Blåstöten and as a bonus, tick off the Storröstgraven ravine from my list. The day was beautiful and warm, but there was some dust in the air which made the sky a bit bland and also the distant mountains where just colourless shapes, nothing I wanted to…

On the way to the cabin, we stopped at Särvfjället for a small hike. I sent my sis and niece to the nearest peak while dad and I walked in the valley. The weather is cold and wet, so this is not ideal but nothing to do about it.

Well it was bound to happen, the way the weather had been. The mountain tops were covered with snow, this is the first time I’ve seen this in the summertime. Normally I feel lucky if I even see it in September! The snow was melting fast though – it only took a few minutes for…

Dull weather today but I knew it, and had planned to do… pretty much nothing. Just took care of a couple of things in and around the cabin, but otherwise, I was just being lazy. Which is fine, too. But I had to take a picture, obviously, so in the evening I drove to my…
