Stormy weather, not good for going out.

 Goodafternoon everybody!

Today it is nice weather, we have sunshine and temperature around 13-14C.Quite different from last week's weather. We had several days with very strong winds, even storm along the coast, rainshowers and most funy thing the temperatures weren;t so bad, something of 17 C.

But that very strong wind(6-7 Beaufort) isnlt something I like and no good for going out if you don;t really have to. So I spent a few days inside, which wasn't too bad, because I have a muscle in the right backside of my back that is acting up. It will be better again, I have it just every now and then, and it is annoying.

I did had an idea of going to my friend Heidi this week, but with this real bad weather, I didn;t go, it will have to be for another day.

All together it was a rather quiet week, and Jan had to go to hospital for and ultrasound scan and blood drawn as a half year check. He will be called by his doctor next week to hear if all is still well. Next time he will ask again for a personal visit to his specialist in hospital, He feels better with it, he doesn't like telephone calls as consultation, he says it is different and he always forgets some things to ask, even when he makes notes for it. I can understand him in this, but this time we were too late to change the phonecall into visit, it was far too busy. It was for him like an expedition, hahaha. He didn't go out for quite some time, but all in all it did go well he said, he could walk all the way from tramstation to hospital without taking a break, I was happy for him. Of course he had to walk slowly, but he managed. Naturally when he was back home, he was a bit exhausted from it, so later on he took a long nap.

Oh, some nice news. Muppet, the visiting cat is back again in town. After about a week of silence she suddenly stood in front of the kitchen door again and now she visits us again regularly and also spends some time inside (mostly all mornings, but every now and then also a few hours at night). She will never be all the time with us, but I like to take a bit care of her and it seems she feels safe with us. Jan says he thinks she has may be a love affair with a neighbour cat. Of course it sould be, I just hope the cat is treated so Muppet will not suddenly be pregnant. If so, I just hope she will give birth to her little ones at her regular home, I am not really keen on suddenly having a basket full of kittens who don;t really are for me to nurse, understand? But let's see first if Jan is right, LOL.

I just came from the kitchen where I prepaired our dinner. I had some ready made goulash from the supermarket, but I made some fresh paprika (fried) to it, with some spring onions and some mushrooms and made some rice. I will fry the rice a bit and then we have the extra filled goulash with it. I think it will taste really good.

Next week will be kind of a learning week for me concerning my mobile, some apps I need to use and the internet banking. I think I will go to the shop where I had my phone, they are very helpful and may be they can help me with those things, installing it and making accounts for it etc. It isn;t very difficult but I encounter problems with it, so I must be doing something wrong. Good, I hope by end next week I will be up to date and able to use all.

As Jan almost doesn;t go out I need to figure out things he can do. So at the moment I bought him 3 or 4 new houseplants, he likes to take care of the houseplants.(I am not so good at it, I am more for the garden plants, hahaha), now I only will have to buy some bigger decorative pots for them. I find those things quite expensive, you know! But I am sure I can find some for a not too big price, it just takes a bit of time. May be I can find some online(I can py now by internet, hey!). Of course it isn;t a day filling task, taking care of the plants, but it is something he has to think of and slowly he gets quite a collection, some just green ones and some also blooming ones. He also makes swedish crossword puzzles, the hardest ones there are (with 4-5 star). Sometimes he gives the house a vacuum cleaning (but he has to do that in parts, because of his breathing, you know).And thank God there is tv, without it he would be a bit lost, I think(but aren;t we all???????. We are sooo used to that thing, hard to remember a time we didn't have one yet).

Good, that's about all I can think of to tell. Best I wish you all a wonderful week, and keep safe!

I agree about the TV. But I do remember us as a family sitting in front of the kitchen stove in the evenings while we listened to our favorite programs on the radio. Times certainly have changed! It's good that Jan enjoys puttering with the houseplants. Keeping busy is good for him.

You can use ordinary items as pot for the plants too. They won't cost must and they work really well. Pots, cups, glasses, bowls, etc. They can be fun to decorate.

Our weather is turning cooler now. It's definitely Autumn. Alas, it's the winter weather that I'm not crazy about. I just don't like the cold.

I have to give you lots of credit for trying to learn all the ways to use your phone. I don't know how to do many things on my phone. Just messages, photos, calls, and looking things up online.

Now I'm off to get started on this new day. I hope your day is super my friend, big hugs, Edna B.
