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…

My garden variety wild strawberry without red pigment is surprisingly red. At least I know when they’re ripe, I was actually wondering how I was going to tell when a yellow strawberry is ripe! 205/365

There’s an old underground storage next to the house. It’s so old that grass is growing on top of the door frame and among the grass, some wild strawberry. Strawberry spreads by sprouting out runners that then can take root, but in this particular case it’s kind of hard… the runners have 1.5m to reach…

I got a bunch of rhubarbs from a colleague for making juice. I wanted to add some berries to the mix but they are not quite ripe yet, I picked what I found to add at least a little bit of flavour. My first time making juice, I think it turned out alright! 203/365

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…

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…

There’s something wrong with my knee for sure. It still hurts while the other aches I got on last weekend’s hike are long gone. The knee is swollen as well, probably not a good sign… gotta see a doctor about it when I get home. Until then, I’m taking it easy. No hiking, just painting…
