The weather is a bit difficult today I would like to say. One minute the sun shines, next the rain is pouring down. To make things worse the wind also is a bit on and of :-) But if one can find a place where the wind doesn´t reach but the sun does, I would like to say that it is quite nice outside:-) :-)

I couldn´t speak at all this morning but I had no ace in my throat strangly enough. That has changed now though :-) :-) But I realised that this is a day for hot tea with honey and lots of ice cream. Since I had neither tea nor ice cream at home I had to drive to the grocery store in Gudhem. They have open today but are closed on Easter day. It´s not that long ago that easter eve were the only day the stores were allowed to be open. If one had missed to buy something that was the day You could get it, otherwise everything was closed.

There were lots of tourists down by the lake and I have to say that there is something seriously wrong with crane tourists. They can drive on the highway and suddenly just stop their cars, opens the doors and jump out of them. Just to get a better look at a crane. They really don´t care if there´s an accident because of their behaviour. I know of no other group of tourists that so willingly are prepared to get people killed just to se a bird! We do have places where they easily can see over thousands of cranes, but that is perhaps to easy?

The Himalayan Primerose (Primula denticulata) is one of the earlier primulas to start in spring.

Well I got home safely despite several stops because of tourists, I´m used to it by now. The tea is soon ready and then I´ll fetch lots of ice cream from the freezer :-)

Have a great Good Friday (or as we call it, Long Friday)!
