It’s getting beyond a joke

I am ill again, only two weeks after the last time. I am thinking that I will have to live in a bubble.

I have purchased a Husqvarna zig zag sewing machine from around 1960.

It is capable of sewing skin, so why don’t I have been ill I have been sewing different types of reindeer skin bags.

I have also made some handles for fire steels.

I want to go camping with Kelly this summer, so I recently purchased a Cosmitto 2 tent from Onetigris, which had received good reviews.

Unfortunately the first time I put it up, I noticed in one corner of the inner tent, that the material was pulling away from the stitching.

I contacted Onetigris, who have appalling customer service and told me that I have caused the problem by using too much force.  I only used the poles provided and didn’t stake the tent down.

Fortunately Amazon has allowed me to return the tent with a full refund and I have now ordered a Naturehike mongar 2 tent instead.  I will not be buying any further products from Onetigris!

I’ve resigned

I have been ill again for over 2 weeks. All I was ill I did some fly tying ready for summer.

Snow buntings arrived in the beginning of April and there have been a lot passing through this year.

I have also had a male blackbird feeding at the bird table.  This is only the fifth time I’ve seen one since I moved to Sweden.

I have also had the number of hares feeding in the garden.

And a couple of reindeers

I have enjoyed my last three and a half years working as a caretaker at an old people’s home. But significant changes are being made to my job and my work and I don’t feel that I want to be part of this so I have resigned from my job. My last day at work will be on the 14th of June.

A stranger returns

We have spent a lot of time fishing.

I even spent a few hours working as a fishing guide for some German tourists.

But unfortunately no fish have been caught.

Every so often mother nature reminds us that winter is not over yet.

-26 at 7am, but during the night it was -30.

Last summer we had a fox cub in the garden,with two white legs.

And last week it reappeared for the first time.
