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 was really impressed with the dahlias last year so I planted some this year as well. They are late bloomers so the first flower opened today!
It was one of those days, I had no ideas for my 365 so I just shot a few boring things in the garden and I didn’t even bother to transfer the pictures to the computer, I was going to do it as a last thing. But then later on when I went to the…
If yesterday was all about the thunder rumbling around but little rain, then today was about little rumbling but a lot of rain! No problems here though, I know the storms have been really bad elsewhere in Sweden but here the raining was over quickly, even if it was quite intensive while it lasted. The picture…
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…
The garden is a gift that just keeps on giving… 202/365
