Sommer -- Summer

I dag var temperaturen helt sommeragtig. Derfor tog hele Uglefamilien på stranden for at se om sandet var der endnu.

Today the temperatures said summer.  The inhabitants of the Owlery went to the beach to look if the sand was still there

    Sandet var der heldigvis stadigvæk. Så sommerens badeture er reddet.
     Piraten og Spirillen elsker at gå i vandet, så de smed alt tøjet og løb ud i vandet. Resten af os nøjedes med at soppe.
     Vandet var mægtig koldt. Minimax gravede små soppebassiner hvor vi kunne varme tæerne ind i mellem soppeturene.
     Til vores store sorg var isbutikken lukket, så årets første is må vente.

Yes the sand was still there, so temperatures allowing we will be the swimming Owls when the water gets hotter. It was very cold. Pirate and Marsupilami love the water, so they stripped and dived in. The rest of us waded. Minimax made small lakes for us to warm up our toes in in between dips.
   A big sorrow for the Owlets: our ice place had not opened yet. Summer's first ice got to wait.

  Aftensmaden var meget blandet i Ugleboet i dag. Grundet et lille uheld med fryseren har vi forskellige ting, der skal spises op, derfor spiste vi japanske chilirejer, dansk/japansk æggekage, ristede pølser med æbler og timian, pasta med sur/sød sovs og råkostsalat af æbler, rød spidskål, hvidkål og rosiner overhældt med citronsaft. 
  Efter denne tværkulturelle aftensmad ristede Ugleungerne og Skribenten marshmallows over bålet. Uglemor indtog sine uristede og Farfar rystede på hovedet over den slags moderne slik.

Dinner in the Owlery is at the moment a clean the freezer-thing. We had an accident with the door standing open for a day :( We ate Japanese chili-shrimps Japanese/Danish  omelet, pasta with sweet/sour sauce, grilled sausages with apples and thyme, raw salad with apples, red and white kale and raisins steeped in lemon juice. 

After our mixed dinner the Owlets -- and the Writer --  roasted marshmallows over the fire. MotherOwl enjoyed her part raw and granddad just shakes his head over this modern stuff.
