It´s still really hot over here and it´ll continue for a couple of days more. But after this heat wawe rather cold weather will come. That´s whats happens when living so far north on this little plante of ours.
Suddenly the whole sky turned orange. The picture lies a bit, it wasn´t that orange but close and it lasted for a couple of minutes.
This bug is called "Bumble bee bug". Birds avoid to eat it just because of the likeness and it´s one of my favourites.
They say that we woun´t have any thunderstorm here today, but I can´t remember that they said anything about the one we had yesterday either. It hit the little town Skara and created caos. The power went out, the highway had to be closed and over 20 000 flashes of lightning was recorded during the thunderstorm. During the storm costumers in the most popular store we have there noticed that water was dripping down from the roof. Thanks to that no one got injured when 1089 square feet of roof fell down in a second.
This is what we call 'Day lilie'. The flowers only opens for one day but there are many buds just waiting to open afterwards.
The sun´s just about to go down for the day.
I can´t understand why they insists on making the roof totally flat on big buildings like that. They only create problems and has done so since they started to make them like that. Especially in winter if there´s a lot of snow. They just have to lift the roof a little bit in the middle and most of those problems would be gone.

It´s already to hot to do anything outside today, so my pond has to wait a bit more to be finished. Even if they say that we woun´t have any thunderstorm here today I doubt that. We can notice that on the flies outside. Normally they are just irritating and annoying, but when thunder is near they become agressive. There´s no chance to get rid of them then. They crawl over us then. They were agressive alredy six o klock this morning. So If You bloggers doesn´t get a comment from me today You´ll know why :-)
Have a great day now!
P.S. To cope with the heat at work I shaved of all my hair on my head this morning. If hot I just put my head under cold water and life is great again :-) D.S.

Chased away the pond keeper. Bet you all are really not used to the heat. We are having a heat wave too. Our daily thunder shower is now packing high winds of 35 mph. Time then to retreat indoors. You try to make it a good day Christer.
The cats are too funny!
It's hot out here too. Even worse as our air conditioner quit working. HOT HOT HOT!

Hi Z&M!
No, no one of us are used to this. But it comes more often so perhaps in some years this is normal :-)
With thuder strong winds usually comes and thw wind is more stronger by the hour here now. The thunderclouds are there but it looks as if they will miss my little village this time too :-) but we sure do need the rain now.
I´m going to make this a good day even if it kills me :-) :-)

Our national day celebration is so lame that I have difficulties to understand how it can be over at Yours at 4th of July.
But how does Your dog react to the fireworks? My dogs doesn´t care at all, but I know people that has to flee to the country side to get away from fireworks just because of their poor dogs.
