...and Rainy Days

In the forest is a lady with two beautiful daughters and a dongle. We take coffee with her and the yougest girl before returning here with the dongle. That is how it works here, and why my posting is so sporadic.

Sunday it rained on and off all day. The mild hangover has gone, and so has Englands Euro 2012 hopes with lousy penalties again. I had checked out house prices in a real estate/bank window last week. I can afford a cabin style single storey property in the Habo area. Would I enjoy it? That set Roland off. He got the pick up out and gave be a tour of the tiny places hidden away from the highway. There are a few for sale to snoop at. The views from the balcony of one are to die for. I will gather enough information for allow a decision later. I have enough to do right now and the Swedish housing market, like the English one, is falling.

Monday: 16 (40cm) inches of rain since yesterday and still it rains. Motorcycle transport dictates that today is a rest day. However. Roland is also unable to work felling trees, so we go into town in the rain, in the pick up. I buy work clothes ready for dry weather. I am going to help him replace his conservatory roof.

Tomorrow I need to go to the bank to get Euros ready for Finland. I head north for the ferry in a week to continue this years journey. A side trip to Talin, Estonia is in the offering. Mondag nesta vecka jag ska till Finland och Estland. My Swedish is improving and so it should. I am putting in some work to play my part while I am here. While I'm at the bank maybe I will ask about accounts, houses and stuff, just in case. It will be easier to gather information here, than from the UK.

Still it rains. I hope it stops soon. There is really only so much you can do with heavy rain.
