The first Crane has arrived, I haven't seen it but I did hear the first goose flying by 😀

The last big cold weather before it turns? Nast cold this morning and I would lie if I said it is much warmer now. So we haven’t had any walk yet because the snow is still so cold in places where the sun can’t reach it th…

Sunny but cold, the sun does warm up a lot though and it is nice to stand in the sunshine.

Thankfully no wind so even if it has been cold it didn't feel like it was. Now however the temperature drops again. -9C (15,8F).

I think the job interview went well and now I'll wait for the e-mail telling me if I got a job or not.

It is turning towards colder again but also more sunshine. I'm not sure if I should complain about the low temperatures or be happy about the sunshine 😀

Even this late in the year the sun still gives us some heat when it is allowed to, the coming week will stay grey and dull.

I know I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get that much rain but it fell further north and it created chaos.
