I said yesterday that I would show more pictures from Kvänum today, but I had to work overtime and got fed up with Kvänum during that time :-) So today I´ll show You the way I drive home, exept for that I had to go to the store so I turned right before getting home. In this picture You can se another petrolstation that doesn´t exist any more in Kvänum. All pictures gets bigger if clicking on them.

My feet are killing me today. They told me already this morning that they would punish me for something as fast as they found any reason at all :-) and they did that rather fast :-) Well this is nothing a hot foot bath wount take care of.
For some reason I don´t understand I had to scrape the cars windows this morning too, even if the temperature was way over freezing point. It must have been the most local frost I´ve ever met, only over my car :-) :-) :-)



This is the one that will be closed down soon. As You can see on the prise board the petrol 95 oktane costs 12,20 swedish kronor/litre. That is something like 6,2 US dollars/US gallons.

Rush hour and the traffic is killing me :-) I actully met five cars later on this big road :-)

Turning in to the smaller road leading to my village. I didn´t meet any cars there though.

But since I was going to the store I turned left into a grovel raod. This house lies just beside the raod and I just love it. I don´t think anyone lives there and if I win all that money on the lottery I might buy it. I wouldn´t move there though since I love my home too :-)

I had to work overtime today. They had promised that we would paint ventilation pipes and send them on monday morning, but sort of forgotten that we quit work already 12:30 on Fridays :-) I could have gone to work tomorrow and done it, but that would probably have costed me more in petrol costs than I would make in extra pay :-) :-)

This little hobby store lies in the middle of nowere. It was open too. First time I´ve ever seen that :-)

Gudhems Church and beside it lies an old nunnery ruin.

We took our walk directly when I came home. They have cut down all grass on the fields yesterday and today they made hugh balls and then wrap plastic around them. This they do to make silage of the grass. Half way home I stopped and looked at the tractor that gathered the grass. I do miss the old way they made hay, it looked so much nicer. But anyway, the farmer came in anothet tractor and we had our annual talk.

It´s a bit funny really, we do say hi and how are you if we meet otherwise too, but once a year we really talks with each other. He told me his going to retire soon. He could have done so a couple of years ago, but like all farmers he loves his life and work. But being a rather small farmer is almost impossible today, he makes a loss every month nowdays and he doesn´t have any loans to pay. So now he´s closing down. He has tried to sell all his cows , but no one buys milking cows today. But he can´t stop totally, he will breed some calves every year and they will start going on the field outside my cottage :-) I love cows so that´s very welcome :-)

But I will sure miss all cows outside my garage every morning. I usually talks a couple of minutes with them before getting in to my car driving to work. That´s life i guess and I will still have those calves :-)

Have a great day now!
