Vacation time has started :-) Well that´s not quite right, it starts on Monday but I´ve taken the day of tomorrow to vaccinate my dogs. But now I´m free from work the comming four weeks. Well that´s not quite true either. I´ll be working one day during my vacation because I´ll have to clean a big filter that much paint get stuck in. I´ll work the same day as my boss cleans the big washing mashine, it´s always funnier to work if I´m not alone.

Teodors favourite place at the moment. I think it´s Orvar that sort of made a mess of the rug :-)

So now I can do what ever I feel like :-) Well that´s not quite true either :-) I have to paint my cottage and i can´t say that I feel like doing that, but I just can´t wait another year I´m afraid. So I hope for no rain and a not to hot weather. If it´s to hot the paint will dry to fast and just get cracks and if it rains I can´t paint at all.

If You click on this photo (as You can do on all of them because theý get better then) You´ll see all the flies around especially Orvar but also Hector. I´ve noticed that black dogs attrackts much more flies than light colored does. I had a dog colored like a Golden retriver once and sha had almost never any flies around her.

Yesterday one of the speedtrains just stopped after leaving our capital. After a short while it got extremly warm in the train and the travellers wanted them to open the doors. The traincompany refused for security reasons. They had no water and the air condition didn´t work, so the temperatures went up to 60C (140F) but the traincompany still refused to open the doors. Suddenly a six months old baby and an older man passed out, so the passengers used the emergency ax to break the windows.

Greater musk mallow, Malva alcea.

I think this is an Adenophora latifolia, a Lady bell.

After many hours they changed to a replacement train and when it had gone  some distance it broke down!! So once again they had to wait for replacement trains. The last bit of their journy had to be on commuters. They cried when they finally arriwed at Gothenburg 12hours later. That journy usually takes three hours. There was an emergency train redy to get them already at the first breakdown, but prestige within the traincompany did that they didn´t want to use another company´s train! Well that´s how things work over here :-) :-)

I like to sow seeds from my own delphiniums. I never knows what color it will get. I don´t even know what to call this color, it´s almost grey :-)

I´m not sure I like the color of this lily. But it flowers nicly every year so I leave it alone.

Now it´s time for a cup of tea, read a lot of blogs and then nothing. I´ll shut down my brain until tomorrow :-) Perhaps I´ll look at a dvd I bought yesterday. I was going to buy the new Alice in wonderland but couldn´t find it. So I bought an animated film called Planet 51. I´ve seen trailers from it and it looks really fun. I also have a work friend (19 years old ) that thinks it is a cool film :-)

Have a great day now!
