Thursday & Friday they predicted low to mid 80sF but instead, 94 degrees. I think my feelings on heat and humidity are legendary, so I shall just leave it to your imagination how I felt (esp. without any of our window ac units installed at that point. They're in place now!). Typically for this area the temps in May would run more like low 70s at this time of year (if not a bit cooler). |
To see the on me for misspelling ? or to see the snow I mentioned?..
I meant the snow, but if you prefer to think I'd like to watch you misspell, that's fine. ;) |
I suspected you meant the snow but it COULD be taken for that you wished to see the on me for my misspelling .. |

Today here in Umeå,Sweden where I live there's blue sky with almost no cloud to bee sean and therefore ofcourse the sun is shining now when it's around midday here.
A little windy,but not much and about +12 degrees Celsius (This time a year it's very rare it's below 0 Celsius atleast at this time of the day so the "+" may not be necessary to write). |

Looks like a pretty day here. Air is crisp and in the 50s F; sun is shining; birds are singing and having breakfast at the feeder and a chipmunk has joined them. _________________ "Language, however, is not language" |

It has actually stopped raining here, but I'm scared. There's a big orange thing hovering overhead. It must be an alien invasion. I'm off to seek cover! If it doesn't rain, I get freaked out! This must be the end of the world.... ;) |

That alien invasion must be fruitful.. ;)..and it drinks water..
In swedish fruit=frukt and the swedish word "frukta" meens "fear".. so one can fear the alien thing (here the sun that's orange and also the fruit) and in swedish it's : Man kan frukta (fear) frukten (the fruit (here orange))..
and it makes a swedish "joke" ..frukta frukten..
the fruit orange = "apelsin" in swedish..
The swedishlesson lite is over for now ...
Here in Umeå, Sweden it has been raining today on and off but not so much and it has been cloudy and a few degrees above zero celsius.
The orange alien thing has been hiding behind clouds here..;) |

Alex I'm well impressed with all this gym talk.Hope you are beesting yourself in there.No point going if you are cruising,full throttle is the only way.Give that treadmill some welly,no pain no gain. |

@Deano...no need to beast myself....the trainers give me (and the others) a proper beasting......I'd be right skinny if I didn't have a genetic problem....I have greedy B*st*rd genes....
@ Douglas...I doubt I'd get my arms into those shorts...never mind me legs.... |

Boxercise was hard work tonight....but made all the more pleasant by the inclusion of 3 Sparks songs in the accompanying music.
Wonder who kept going on to include some?...*blushes with false modesty* |

I think we here in Umeå in the northern part Sweden have had the warmest day of this year yet today (about +20 degrees celsius and sunny with only a slight bit of clouds).
Curious of which 3 Sparks songs it was Alex ?
I've been working out at a gym aswell but have been a bit lazy for some time now after a little pain in the lower back but the pain is gone now and I will soon start up again with weights and some cycling in the gym.
I will ofcourse take some time out from the gym to travel to for ex. Stockholm for Sparks if they get there (and I hope so and that includes this upcoming autumn tour).
My lady and I will be there. |

The songs were, Sports, Beat The Clock and Can-Can.
Though you could argue the last one isn't a Sparks song per se (still like to see these OP songs all on one official CD), thanks to Kate the trainer for playing them anyway. |

Just came through a huge deluge. Lost power. Wind was fierce. The pasture below our property flooded and the water rose high enough to flood the road. Fortunately all seems well now. Amazing how quickly the birds were back to the feeder, shaking the water from their sodden wings. _________________ "Language, however, is not language" |
