Remains to be seen how much time I'll be able to spend at the computer the rest of the week as very high temperatures (up above 30) are forecast again from tomorrow and onward... I'm glad for a bit of a respite (a bit lower temps just now) while unpacking my bags, though! :)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-43647928183816993522018-07-23T15:29:52.031+02:002018-07-23T15:29:52.031+02:00Thanks Janet.Thanks Janet.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-44170262252348218382018-07-23T15:28:04.270+02:002018-07-23T15:28:04.270+02:00Ginny, the hot and dry weather we've been havi...Ginny, the hot and dry weather we've been having this summer is breaking all weather records ever since anyone first started keeping notes (like back in the 18th century or whenever) and I have certainly never before seen maps of wildfires going on all over Sweden on a scale like this past week (around 50 fires going on all over the country and at least four very large ones up north out of control simultaneously). But with the support from other European countries coming in now it seems they are working out strategies how to handle it - including starting 'counterfires' i.e. a controlled ring of fire around the worst areas (so that when the wildfire gets there, there will be nothing left for it to burn and then it will die). It's never been done on this scale before in our country. <br /><br />During the trip I just posted on FB each evening with a very short summary of that day (in Swedish) + a few pictures snapped with the phone. I have hundreds and hundreds more photos on the camera...<br /><br />As for the "vent" situation, alas it seems unchanged (?)(Daytime no problem, but off during the night). However, the weather has been cooler for a couple of days so just now no big problem. And this morning I saw the ventilation guys' van parked outside for a while so maybe they're working on it. I'll wait and see what happens later in the week when the weather is supposed to get hotter again.

Is it usual to have these fires? We usually have quite a few here every summer, and especially in California. I have on purpose not read your Facebook travel posts, so I can enjoy them all when you post them on this blog. I love the old church ruin, and the beautiful hollyhocks. How has your "vent" situation been since your return? Sounds like you had a lovely trip, I cannot wait for the forthcoming posts!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
