i've had spring-feelings for the first time! it happened when i was walking from ica to konsum in långsele, to see if they had any orange juice (ica was out of it). just outside the entrance it smelled of wet asphalt and dust, and i realised that there's actually supposed to be a summer this year too.

other spring signs:
on our way to work this morning we saw a storspov, and a fat bird was flying clumsily over the fields. on our way home several others had joined him, and there were big fat white birds all over one of the fields. and the field next to the one with the fatties was filled with cranes. there were also 3 roe deers in the field, and we decided that they count as spring signs too (almost everything counts as a spring sign this time of the year, except for snow).

galdor has a girlfriend! or maybe boyfriend, we haven't been introduced to her/him yet. but whatever it is, it's black/grey, slim and long haired. they mostly sit on stones and look at each other. very sweet. i'm going to invite them for tea and cookies soon.

i forgot to mention that we stopped to say hello to a friend of tommy's on our way home yesterday. he had recently been in a snow-mobile accident, and injured his back and broken a few bones. he couldn't drive, sleep or really do anything, but apart from that he was allright as long as he didn't have to laugh. when we came he had just had to stop reading a home page, because it was too funny.  ¶ 8:26 PM
