Back in the saddle

They say you should always get back in the saddle after falling off a horse, or in this case a lawn mower, and I did, both, fell off and got back in the saddle. So now I have mowed the whole 3000 m2 and guess what hubby said when I spoke with him on Skype and showed him? " Why haven't you raked and picked up the grass"? How he managed to spot that all the way from Australia I'll never know!!

Taken from Trädgårdsföreningen, another little gem in
 Gothenburg that I strongly recommend that you visit.

I went in to Gothenburg yesterday to pick up my mother since the weather has been absolutely gorgeous the last few days, but Sod's law, yesterday afternoon it started to rain and has rained all night.

Our trusty deckbuilder is back though, since it is not raining at the moment and he says he wants to get as much done as he can because it is supposed to rain this week. He is a hard worker but he has a little quirky habit, he speaks to himself. Quite loud! As loud as you would if you were speaking to someone else. So I don't know how many times I have gotten up to answer him but realized half way that he was not talking to me.

Next Sunday is the election here in Sweden and it is all your hear or see at the moment. You can also vote in advance which a lot of people seem to do. My biggest problem is that the different parties all sound reasonable when you hear them talk, one after another (with some major exceptions) so how  on earth are you to make a choice? Also I am very susceptible to how they look and present themselves. I know it is shallow but I guess that is me.

Otherwise not much happening here at the moment. It is clearly going towards autumn and the colors are changing.  The forest is full of mushrooms but I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to that. In fact, yesterday, the neighbours came in with a whole basket to give us but I only took two big ones and now I don't know what to do with them. Do I put my life in my neighbours' hands and eat these darned things and maybe perish due to human error or do I sneak them into the rubbish bin?

Don't worry, I know that you are
 not supposed to eat these, ever!
 It is just that we have so many of
them around here.


Bye for now and thanks for stopping by!
