Gökärten (If You translate the name from swedish it is The Cuckoo pea :-) ), The Bitter Vetch, a perennial close relative to the common Sweat pea and grows wild here.

I´m seen as a very calm person that can take most setbacks with a shrugging of shoulders, but there´s two times every year that I get anxiety and lots of it. In autumn it´s when I have to take my car to the yearly inspection. I sit there and sees how they hammer hard at my car with a sledge hammer trying to find broken or rusty places. Well it´s not relly a sledge hammer but it feels like that. It doesn´t matter if I have a car that´s relativly young, I just hate it. Lucky enough they have a tv that we car owners can look at during the inspection and the coffee is free :-)

The other time is now in spring when I have to do my tax return papers. The stupid thing is that I don´t even do the papers myself. I just put them in order and drives to my accountant so she can do it for me. I can´t for my life understand why this gives me anxiety but it does. I know that I will get money back late this year, but still it´s really difficult to take those five minutes it takes to get the papers in order. I´m usually too late with my papers to my accountant too, so I always have to pay fines to the tax departement. But this year I´m actully early!! Does this mean the world comes to an end? I don´t think that has happened in many years :-)

The sun shined and the wind was calm when I came home.

It got up to 24C (75F) today and when working beside a hughe owen and a hughe washing machine ( we wash everything that we paint You see) it was like working in a steam bath and this is just the beginning of the warm season. The ventilation in the paint box is so strong that it sucks in all the heat from the owen and the steam from the washing machine, so when I have to clean the paint box I get dehydrated fast. When it´s summer I drink up to eight litres ( 2 US gallons) of water every day. I have to eat some salt too outherwise I tink I´ll die. But today I went home earlier so I could get my papers to my accountant and get rid of my anxiety :-)

But suddenly the clouds came and the wind started blowing hard. I do hope we don´t get a thunder storm, it´s too early in the year for that.

Now the sky looks like a thunderstorm is on its way. The wind have started to blow really hard too. If the thunder comes I then has to unplug all telephones and my computor, because the flash has a tendensy to fly out of my telephone cables. One time I got the lightning through my computor and in to my arm. I couldn´t feel anything for houers after that :-)
Have a great day now, I will!
