We are all waiting for the second one.

Not taken today. I like it even if it is bad in so many ways 🙂

I went to work this morning, I had only coughed so I woke up once and felt almost close to feeling less bad 🙂 Fridays are half days and I start with washing the paint box and it’s rather an easy job. We also have a meeting every Friday that is around half an hour long and with the breakfast break there isn’t much hard work to do 🙂 An easy start I thought and after half an hours work I wished I had stayed at home 🙂 The rest of the day was easy though and today we had a big meeting when we had alcohol free glögg, a kind of mulled wine, gingerbread and Lussekatter (saffron buns).

 

 

We who work at the factory gave our yule present to the owner family and they gave us ours from them. This year we got a bottle Blueberry and Lingonberry mulled wine (not alcohol free) and a bottle of sparkling wine called Freixenet Carta Nevada (and we also got a box of chocolates 🙂 ). I love mulled wine but am not a wine person otherwise but I tend to like white sparkling wine so this will most likely go down too :-)I think we gave them dinner in a restaurant in the biggest city (or town is perhaps a better word) and tickets to the movies.

 

There’s so much water in the bog right now that new small creeks are being created.

 

When I came home I saw something odd, I thought I saw a slightly fat spaniel running around outside the garage but very quickly disappearing behind the wood shed. I jumped out the car and walked on that side to see if I could find and holes in the ground where a slightly fat spaniel might have come out from 🙂 The odd thing was that there was no hole and the slightly fat spaniel ran around on the other side of the fence? 🙂 So I walked back to the car and to my big surprise I found that the slightly fat spaniel, also called Sune ran past me to the car 🙂 🙂 🙂

 

 

So I walked back with a very happy spaniel by my feet and started looking again. It turns out that there’s a gap in the fence at the bottom of it, towards the ground. It was almost impossible to see but big enough for Sune to squeeze through. So the first thing I had to do was to tighten that fence towards the ground which showed to be impossible. So instead I now have some boards nailed to the fencepost and hooked to the fence itself. Sune isn’t a dog that continues to try something if it fails the first time, thankfully 🙂 If it had been Nova finding that hole I would have to rebuild the entire dog yard this weekend, she never gives up 🙂 🙂 🙂

 

There’s a rather big, very old tree stump in the forest that I like a lot. It is so old that even the tree fungus is very old and now covered with both lichens and mosses.

Tree funguses don’t rot, they just get old and wood like. Here’s one totally covered in moss.

 

 

We are all waiting for the storm now, I’ve placed everything that I can’t tie somewhere  in the garage now and I’ll go outside to pick in more fire logs just in case it’s bad tomorrow morning so I rather stay indoors 🙂 But it seems the storm will go much further south than they first predicted, they have changed it from hurricane wind to strong gale here in this area. it will be a hurricane where it hits further south though. We might get lots of snow though but it seems it will be mixed with some rain but then again, they predict the temperature will drop to 0C (32F) and that usually means below that here. Could be some nice photos if the snow stays for some hours.

 

 

So it feels just right to watch the movie The Day After Tomorrow this evening 🙂 There’s nothing like watching a disaster film while there’s a storm howling outside the windows 🙂

Have a great day!
