The sky has been clody all day and at work it raines heavily for quite sime time.

I left my car at the garage before work this morning and walked to my job. When doing so I can pass a secondhand shop. I can´t remember if the earnings goes to a soccer team or something else. If I feel I have the time i look in to the shop to see if they have anything I might like, usually they don´t. By that I don´t mean that they doesn´t have anything interesting inside though, but I can´t see that far into the shop. Especially not when there´s no daylight :-)

I hope that You haven´t got tired of looking at tree stumps and mushrooms, because it´ll be a lot of that in todays blog :-)

Today I had time, so I stopped to look inside. In one of the windows my eyes directly found something I really wants! A big clock! It´s perhaps 50cm high (that would be around 20 inches) and slightly thinner. It´s rectangular in shape and we call it "America clock". It was so dark that I couldn´t see the price tag, so all day I have walked around thinking of this clock :-) So I finished work a bit early to get my car and naturally walk by the store on my way there :-)

I know that the shop isn´t open every day and today was one of those days. The price is 300 swedish kronor, that would be around 42 US dollars or 48,2 Australian dollars. There was a note attached to the clock that the glockenspiel (do You really say that in english? That´s what Google translation says anyway) doesn´t work. Well, it´s quite common that people disable that because they think it´s to loud :-)

Blushing mountain mushroom. I have eaten a lot of this mushroom without problems, but now I´ve read that it contains toxic proteins. Usually those proteins gets destroyed by cooking and by the stomac acids. But it can still give some people that has problems creating those acids in the stomac. One uses the hat, the stem is like eating wood :-)

I really want this clock, so I hope that they don´t sell it before I can get there tomorrow! If I´m successful buying it, I´ll post a picture of it on thursdays blog when I´m back again.

Yesterday was the first day of lobsterfishing season. The season is very short so most people will start early. Naturally the wind was so strong today that most people didn´t dare to go out to fetch the lobster pots. Unfortunally for those fishing lobster the wind will be rather strong tomorrow too. Only the professional fishermen went out today and the price for the first lobster were over 1000 swedis kronor /kg, that would be around 142,5 US dollars/ 2,2 pounds or 161,3 Australian dollars/kg. Perhaps I should be a lobster fisherman :-)
