whoppii

A few years back I started to collect the Disney Classics that I had loved as a child and the ones I saw now. Last year I decided to get them all and today nr 25 and 26 came making my collection complete as far as it can. Nr 50 Tangle has yet to be released in Sweden. Two I have as VHS and these shall be replaced when they came out on a DVD. Any way I'm now the proud owner of the 49 Disney classiscs starting with Snow White.

Time for month nr 3

Another month has passed and it’s time for new photos from Stella’s and my walk Sunday morning walk. We started about the usual time, that is just before 8 am. I have added a few sceneries that I haven’t shown before just to show you all just a little bit more.



Premiär – “The First Time” this is one of my favourite statues in Gävle. It’s right in the beginning of the City Garden.

The next two photos are from last Saturday as I wanted to show you how the bridge looks like, not just the view from it.

This sign tells us that the two boroughs of Valbo and Gävle together built the bridge back in the late 1700

"Our” beaver still is active and no, I still haven’t found where building site. My guess is that it is right under the bridge, which I just have walked over. (it’s not the same as Gustafs bro)

Seeing this makes me wonder if it is the squirrel that is so active o it is something else that is happening. It looks like this around several trees.

A view towards the summer café in the park.

From the dam, down the river

Stella could hear the minks but neither of us could see them. I had a hard time getting her to leave the place.

Not much left of the ice from last week. We went from -22C on one Thursday to +6C the next.

The Force of Mother Nature

Last Thursday we woke up to -22C. That’s cold, very cold. Even Stella thought that and shortened our morning walk. After supper we went for our evening walk, very well dressed. As usually we went in Boulongen and along the river and got treated to Mother Nature showing the force she can have. In the river in high speed ice-floe passed us and the water level was high. When we got to the dam one of the larger gates had been opened. I guess because of the cold weather they opened it so that it wouldn’t get stuck. Any way Stella and I stood watching the scenery for a while before continuing in the cold. It was drama at its best. The scenery only lit up by the lamps along the path. The sound of the river speeding by us in full force. Ice cracking in places where it was still in one piece. The scraping sound when the ice crushes into each other.

When we passed the same places Friday I realised that I needed to bring the camera and show you all how it looks today. Water was up to the snow edges on the island and left ice-floes on land when it went down to “normal winter” level, there is space under the ice-floes and so on…

And the last photo is of Stella’s special friend: The dipper. I guess it’s getting used to being barked at every time we go by.

it's small but there - my camera can't zoom in closer and the bird didn't want to pose when I stept closer.

My Shower room

I just have to show you have it looks now that it is done.

5 th of February

A month has past since I posted Stella’s and my walk in January. Had these been taken just a few days earlier there would have been less snow in them. We have had degrees over and under 0 C over the past few weeks. This last week we even had rain before it went cold and icy and new snow fell.

I'm not sure you can see the mist coming up from river.

I didn’t know that our river contained a beaver but here is the evidence that there is.

got my keys back

He wasn't too happy with my but I got it my way and I think it looks so much better.

So disappointed.

After several days try to get hold of the firm that is doing my bathroom I did get contact yesterday. Finally everything left was going to be done, well almost everything. The edges around the window can’t be done until I have painted it. I started to work with it last Saturday.

Imagine my huge disappointment when I came home to this …

I can’t imagine he was thinking. Did he really think that I would accept to have a black edge by the toilet instead of having it like all the other walls? To have an edge that would gather dirt and be hard to keep clean?

I really just want them to get out of my life. I want my key back and to know that now I can get my home back in order.
