We think (or I would like to think) that the little birds that I deprived of their cosy home, survived. Hubby built them a little nest, which a couple of the birds enjoyed for two days, then both disappeared. He swears that he has now heard them nesting in the pine hedge at the side of the cottage. Let's hope for the best.
Right now we are preparing for local builders to come on Monday to build a new larger deck at the front of the cottage. We would like to have torn down the present deck and replanted all the flowers before they get started.
We are having the usual Swedish summer weather which means rain off and on and around +12° but as usual everybody keep saying that it was so nice and so very hot the month before we arrived. Typical!
Yesterday we rented a trailer and drove into Gothenburg to buy second-hand furniture. It was good fun but we had a panic moment since we were almost late returning it. We had been told that we could only have it if we promised to be back at four. We also bought a sofa bed at Ikea. Again I realized that I would never ever, ever buy stuff from there if I was on my own; I could never put it together, ever. I know, I have used the word ever too many time, but I really need to for emphasies.
For all of you who have asked how my mother is doing I can report that she is doing very well, and enjoying a break out at the cottage from her retirement home.
