We're already in the
middle of autumn! After six days of constant rain, we finally have some nice
weather, still cloudy but nice temperature. Around 28 degrees during the day
and 18/19 at night. It will get cooler in winter… and it will be time to start "Old
Benny" again. I'm looking forward to it, I missed cooking on it.

Unfortunately we've
bee plagued by teeny weenie little flies/bugs at night. They even go through
the fly screens which are fitted on all doors and windows… We have to turn off
all the lights to reduce the invasion (but not stop it completely.) They are so
annoying… flying around your head, ears, eyes, nostrils… And falling in your
drink! (extra protein…?) I suppose that
it is the season for them and living in the country we have to put up with them
until it's over.
In the morning all
the benches, furniture, window sills and the floors are covered with millions
of dead ones.
No point to do a
complete clean at this stage, as it happens again the next night…

| Bugs, everywhere |
Moths of course are
around all through the year and end up as snacks for the green frogs or Freja!

Svenne has finished
building the roof and decking for the caravan. It looks and feels really
comfortable now. We often sit on the veranda at the end of the day for a
different panorama scenery with a drink in the hand of course.

Even Freja likes it.

And this little
Willy Wag Tail.
The weather has
definitely changed now and we don't have to mow the grass as often! But it will
have to be done this weekend.
Blooming at the
moment… nasturtiums and gerberas.

And the mornings are
so cool that everybody looks for a sunny spot to enjoy the warmth. But
Freja has found the best one. She's a
roof dog. Some people have knee-dog, sofa-dog, why not a roof-dog? She
regularly goes up and inspects every aspects of the roof and runs after the
birds. Imagine the surprise for the people driving at the front of the property
to see her up there...
