This is a back-dated post – we had a thunderstorm going around Föne from about 3pm to 9pm so I didn’t dare to keep my computer plugged in while it was going on (the storm was never really right on us though, we only got 3mm rain). And after I thought it was safe, I started…

Another scorcher of a day, it was 28°C in the shade by 11am. The best place to be on such a day is to sit in an airconditioned car, and the next best thing is to walk on a sea shore to let the sea breeze bring relief to the heat. So that is what…

It’s too dang hot to process the pictures, I’ve got 28 degrees centigrade here in the living room and it’s not even the hottest place in the house. It’s too hot to take the pictures, too – sweat was running to my eyes, making it difficult to see through the viewfinder. I had the insane…

I only had one small window left, so I painted that in the morning and I was off on my way home already before lunch. I got to Särvsjö (about 20 km from Messlingen) when I heard an ominous sound… stopped the car and found that my right rear tire was flat. Horrified, I kept staring at…

A friend is visiting, we have big plans for the week – a roadtrip in Norway and a hike to Helags. But with the weather forecast as it was, we had to give up one of them so we opted to do the roadtrip and leave Helags for another time. Which was just as well,…

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…

Well what do you know. The flower clock theory is correct – the white waterlilies close up in the evening! Because now that I visited the spot at noon (worked at home, spent the lunch break with the lilies), they were all open and looked stunning, I felt like I melted when I saw them!…
