Yes I’m calling it annoying. Don’t you just hate it that the flower is out of focus? And I did it on purpose – gotta try to break the rules sometimes!
I was going to do a short walk, just long enough to see if my new insoles fixed the Haglöfs-boot chafing problem. I took Hateful Hill* #2 up to Kappruskaftet and I was just going to walk around for a while, and get my 365. It was cloudy so it wasn’t really any good for…
I had a day off and drove to the Frösö Zoo in Östersund. They only keep open during the summer season and they close on Sunday, so this was the last chance. I’ve been there once before, many many years ago and all I could remember from that visit was that they have cotton headed tamarins…
Went for a walk after work. The cows were all lying down but as I got closer, they got up and mooed at me. When I walked past, they even tried to follow me for a bit but cows are very laid-back and apparently I was just walking too fast for their taste so they gave…
One of the flowers I’ve nurtured from seed are still not blooming. I was starting to get a bit worried that they might not bloom all summer, but now I can finally see some buds. They are sure taking it slowly… even slower than this slug which was chomping away on one of the buds.
The sea is like being abroad for me, the landscape (seascape!) is so different from what I’m used to. Sailing boats a-plenty, bare cliffs, salty air, flat horizon, constant fear of ticks bearing dangerous diseases and strange plants. It was an awesome day out on the sea, complete with an almost full super-moon rising! When…
The insufferable heat is gone, now it’s just pleasant. Absolutely perfect for cycling!
Something incredible happened today! It rained!
When I got out the door to go to work, I saw the same two roe deer again. They actually stuck around all evening yesterday so I think they slept close by and came to enjoy the fresh grass in the morning sun. With my knee no longer hurting, I cycled to work today. Can’t…
Always nice to see the roe deer. I wish both of them had their heads up at the same time, but they are very suspicious and watchful creatures so one was looking around and the other was eating.
