I forgot to mention last night I have added some Irish to my blog name. In honour of my Irish roots. Just for fun.
I am watching a TV show, Expedition Unknown. Tonite the star is in Sweden & Danmark & Norway. He was in Sweden eating with some Swedes. He had herring salad which is just raw herring and different flavors of sauce. Then they fed him Surströmming (say "soor-stroh-ming") that is fish that has been fermented (put in a salty brine for two months). It smells terrible. He did not like it. I laughed!! The season for surstrsömming is in August. My two trips to Sweden I left just before its season. I am not as stupid as one would think. Show is interesting. About King Olaf who used a sun stone to steer his ships. It was used at night and it showed where the sun was. He went to a group that live as the real Vikings did. A sun stone is clear and you look through it. I love anything about Vikings. I have some in my family tree. (And am looking forward to seeing The North Man.) And he spoke very highly of the Vikings as not just marauders.
Since the weather has calmed down and not one front after another I feel much better. But more fronts coming soon. And rain. Will we be left out again? We are in the middle of 2 areas on different days but that means nothing.
I was home all day. Little chance to upset anyone. The one I did upset is friendly again. I am relieved.
Nico and Cinder actually were a bit friendly this afternoon. I am hopeful.
It got quite cold last night. My house was at 63F. A bit chilly. My room heater warmed us up to 74F by supper. Cold again tonight.
Photos are just of mix of things from my past life.
