Last tuesday
Alla hallons dag, som familjen Sandberg i Laholm kallade den dagen. All saints day.
I used the day for gardening.
Not much gardening to do, this time of year, except raking leaves together.....
Well, I did cut back the balconyflowes as well. They've been standing, covered up, on the balconyfloor, since the first morning frost. Since then I've haven't looked at them, but seemingly they all survived (so far!!!!) and I just left them out there. The weather is still nice and warm, except the chilly mornings, and mostly sunny. No winter in sight, I heard on the radio this morning. That's ok with me :-) I never really now where to put those flower and most of them die during the winter, but I just can't throw them away!!!!
As the gardeningpart was fast done with, on tuesday, I took an "alpine walk" to Emil, on his mountain, as well. It was sooooo beatyful!!!! The best workout in the best sportstudio you can think of; Mother Natures Sport Studio. Fantastic! I went up from the other side, from Haldensee. More scenic than straight up, from our house. But as I got a new biketyre, I had to test it, and biked up the normal route last saturday.
Today the weather was nice,again, but my duties not so nice; I had to take Niki one ram to the butcher (the slaughter..?) Anyhow, that's one person. In Zöblen, next village. And now the poor animal is dead. That was the one we couldn't sell, because of the narrow horns. I held him and scratched his neck, as he got shot. I think that is your duty, as animal owner. He was so cute. But he had no future, with his horn handicap. Probably he will be like chewinggum with muttontaste, to eat. Have to ask Charly, neighbour and chef, how to cook him. Out of the liver, heart, lungs and tongue I will try to make Haggis. Scots specialty. Have to google that. If I can make experiments I like better to cook - but when the result is a disaster I'm not so happy........ - not to mention the family!!!!
I'll report!
