Blinded by light, enlightened by darkness

Trollstorm over Nidingjuv

Jag gick på nattpissningspromenad med Labolina. Hon har urinvägsinfektion så hon drar ut på det så länge som möjligt. Då hon vägrade göra något utanför huset gick jag söderut längs Volgsjövägen med henne, till Volvo/Spisplattan där vi valde Gränsgatan ned mot sågen. När bebyggelsen tog slut vände vi uppåt samhället igen och såg en katt som mycket koncentrerat spanade på något i höggräset. Vänster in på Videvägen och framåt, framåt, framåt. Det kändes som om jag fortsatte i timmar.

Efter en stund fanns en liten lekplats på vänster sida, och hukandes bakom några buskar såg jag ett troll. Ett klumpigt svart troll av den klassiska lappländska sorten¹, med ett stort ensamt öga mitt i pannan.

Promenaden fortsatte framåt en stund till innan jag bestämde att jag gått för långt. Jag bestämde att ta nästa gata till höger och det visade sig vara gatan vi går hem/bort från vårat hus. Konstigt, jag gick ju inte så länge bortåt.

One year from now

I’m looking for a new place for my ”blog”, I’ve decided blogspot can’t have the pleasure of hosting mine anymore. I support Piratpartiet and it seems like a silly combination with blogspot these days. Suggestions are welcome, preferrably for Swedish services with (support for) English templates.

I hate this day. I don’t want to live today. I just want to go out and leave humanity’s society. This is a beautiful place.

Langfærd

Vi är framme, vi är här. Jag såg en stjärna inatt, 23:e juli.

I installed the webcam today, and washed the dishes. I also brushed the balcony and cleaned the railing, took out the recyclable trash, unpacked some bathroom stuff and ate icecream. I took a walk with Labolina in the heat in the early afternoon, down to Baksjön and back. She was warm and so was I, she’s been lazy all day.

I need to sleep now.

They gather where snows fall forever

I fixed some with our little forum, iDespair. I’d say it looks pretty now. Everyone’s welcome. Posting is enabled for non-members, but we’d like to see you registered. I’ve been trying to keep it alive for a while but it seems rather hopeless. One of the three original members complained about the address so I registered a new.

I’m worthless glue.

Angels far beyond

Two reasons:

1. I was so fed up with the background photo, even though it is pretty. It’s too dark for summer.
2. We won’t have storage at v.harnosand.org anymore so I had to upload somewhere else anyway.

I found this somewhere not too long ago and liked it a lot, enough to save it. Now in desperation to find some other background before I go to bed I decided to try this blood red wallpaper-style tile. I like it, enough to keep it. I’ll probably change fonts to fit in better after we’ve moved, which wasn’t part of my original plan of just getting another photo. The large dried flower stems melted out of winter by the brook outlet into the strait and the sun made the picture so pretty.

We’ve packed 19 boxes now, it’s getting a little more complicated to find the right stuff for each box. An antiquity/second hand dealer is coming here on Monday to look at bookshelves and computertables. If he doesn’t buy them we’ll have to throw them away, and that would be a shame since they’re only around two years old and in good to perfect condition.

It took an hour to pick the background, upload it (and sort the files already on the server), change the blog template and write this entry. Now I’ll get less than six hours of sleep and it’s no-one’s fault but mine.

According to plan

I’ve finally scanned the apartment plan. Packing is going slow, but it seems like we’ve gotten quite a bit done anyway. 13 boxes are finished and we hope to use a maximum of 32. Ten days to go. Today we’ve updated people and businesses on our new address and I’ll hopefully finish the dogtrimming. I’m so tired and it’s so warm, it’s been 25-35°C inside for over a week and the horrible idiot neighbours are smoking non-stop so we can’t keep the window open.

Kök is kitchen, uteplats is our balcony, vardagsrum is livingroom. The alkov is just a corner of the room with an extra wall put up (those are usually bad ideas), kpr (kapprum) is the space in hallway for hanging up the coat. Dusch is shower and förråd/klk is a combined storage room/wardrobe. L is for bedsheets and such, st is for cleaning-stuff, k/f is fridge/freezer, ugn is oven. G is a locker for clothes. It is one room, 43,5 m². BYE
