Went for a walk today. The weather forecast was for a dramatic change of temperature and it was right. A couple of days ago it was -10 C in the middle of the day, when I went out at about 11:00 this morning it was already +2 C.

Walked 5 100 steps. I think it's time I made going for a walk a habit rather than one of the must do items. It wasn't quite such a struggle today.

Stopped at the supermarket to buy ingredients for tomorrow's dinner and at the 'pol for a bottle of Amaretto because I'm going to make a streusel.

Finally got around to making the blackberry jam that I couldn't make because I didn't have any lemon juice. I've put it in a jam jar and it's now cooling in the kitchen. I made it in the bread maker on the jam setting. It will be interesting to see how it comes out.

It was very cloudy when I went out.

Here's the view looking north towards the inner fjord

And here looking east to the other side, the ferry moored at the ferry terminal on the east side is just visible to the left.

But by the time I got home the sky was almost clear. Here's my garden. These pictures were taken at 14:25, just two hours after solar noon, see how long the shadows are.

There's a bird whose name escapes me in the tree, some kind of tit.

The sky is still clear and the sun is now behind the hills to the south west. It looks like it will be most of the night so it will be a couple of degrees colder tomorrow.
