sometimes

… life is quite alright.

Don't know how I came up with that headline, but it is as good as any other headline I can think of … life is indeed quite alright, sometimes.

I've had my morning cup of coffee, and complemented it with a double large drink of “something” I won't reveal in public. So, things are looking good at the start of the day.

I honestly cannot say that every day starts as good as this. But, we only know the day when it is over, and there are many hours left of this one.

Most nights I go to bed in a good mood after another alright day, and I see no reason for this day to be much different.

have been out shopping…

We went shopping at the Home Depot last week, and, as usual, Gunlaug spent some time checking up on plants. That's OK … we lost a couple of plants during frosty nights here in Florida while we were back in Norway a week ago, and there is plenty space around the house for the dozen (or so) new plants she bought this time around.

We have plans to turn the back of the house into a veritable flower garden – a little at a time, and we are already well on our way to achieve this. Have to get some constructions and watering systems in place for a few dozen more plants, and also extend the garden lightening system a little. No big deal … it only takes time.

nothing else new on the western front.

This week I have made preparations to go to a show in Dallas, TX, and if I find it interesting I may write about it, another day.

And that's it for now from me.

comparing weather…

Despite the weather being partly cloudy on both sides of the pond today, temperature here in Florida is definitely more to my taste.

The higher average temperature in Florida during winter, compared to in Norway, is of course the main reason I bought this place and decided to spend future winters here. I can not see any reasons to ever regret that decision.

bits of information.

1: Although I write Weeki Wachee in my sign-off w/date, I do not actually live there but rather a few miles north of Weeki Wachee proper. The US Postal Service, and most others around here, call the wider area I live in here in Central Florida for Weeki Wachee though, so that's what I call it too.

2: Right now the time-difference between Florida and Norway is five hours, as over here the switch to “day-time-saving” was last weekend. It will balance back to six hours time-difference in a few weeks, when Norway switches to “summertime”
