What I do when it rains during summer

The weather has been on my mind lately. The bad weather. The lack of sun. Where did you go? I want to say GET LOST to the clouds. But I do not want to complain too much. Or maybe I do. I do not see myself producing very much vitamin D these days, and I can feel it. I bet some of you can too, right?!

So I have spent a lot of time reading. At the moment, I am reading "Aprilhäxan" by Majgull Axelsson. A bit too early to say what I think about it. Anyone read it? I am also reading "1984" by George Orwell.




I bought "The Economist" to keep up-to-date with world affairs. I never can get through the whole magazine, but there are always a few interesting articles.


And Irene has started to accept me reading books without pictures. So I have started to read the "LasseMajas detektivbyrå" series for her.


But I do not spend all my time reading. Today I finally went to buy some flowers for the garden; mostly dahlias, and a couple of other flowers for Irene to plant. So as soon as the rain stops, I will be doing some digging.

I also tick off items on my to-do-list that I keep in my Iphone (had to mention my most treasured tool at the moment:)). The list is not too long, but some of the things take time and so are perfect to do on a rainy day, such going through all the CDs (I have a whole bunch to give away if anyone is interested), cleaning up folders on my computer, sorting digital photos, and I can hear you start sighing and yawning so I will stop right here. Well, it feels wonderful to see my list becoming shorter and shorter.

What do you guys have on your to-do-list?

  1. Planting and gardening is good in Seattle as it will always be rain :). It's true, last year my Poinsettias survived the Winter and the snow fall.

    I shouldn't complain too much about the weather either. Sometimes I disguise it in form of my bad weather jokes, but my tolerance with cold and rainy days in mid July is limited to a week.

    We can always look at the bright side of things, although here they are away behind the clouds :). Reading is also good, I try to read as well whenever I can. These days it happens to be mostly HR articles and the news. It's good to hear about a good Swedish book and I would love to borrow it when you are finished.

    Well, let's not despair, it's sunny outside today. So, I am urged to go out and play. My D vitamin supply needs refilling anyway. Anybody wants to join me for a walk?
