Vejen andre steder hen -- 27 -- On my Way Elsewhere

     Sommerferien er begyndt, og Uglemor har ikke tænkt sig at fare ud af dåren og tage billeder af vores ellers smukke ussigt. Derfor kommer der de næste 6 uger en reportage om, hvad der ellers foregår når Uglemor ikke er på vej hejm.

 Summer holiday has begun. MotherOwl is not on her way home every morning at a quarter to eight. Instead there'll be a tale of what happens when it's summer and school's out.

       Denne tirsdag legede vi med et loppefund. Stabelbare elefanter i træ, skum og plexiglas. der var også ugler, hvaler, løver (det var svært at genkende), en krokodille eller slange og den fisk. Og så to stribede bolde i forskellige størrelser. De var sjove.

This Tuesday we played with a second hand find. Elephants made of wood, foam and acrylic glass. Owls, whales, lions (which were hard to name), a snake, a fish and two striped balls were also a part of the set.

Hvalrossen fik en ny stol. Den gamle var slidt, og nu gror der tallerkensmækkere i hullet.

The Walrus had a new chair. Minimax and MotheOwl had fun with the old one. We enlarged the hole and planted some flowers.

Farveplantebedet fik en tiltrængt overhaling. Al kulsukkeren blev hevet op. Uglemor tørrer de pæneste rødder til salver.

The dye bed had a make over. All the comfrey was pulled out and MotherOwl made Minimax wash the best roots for use later on in un-petroleum jelly.

 Den tredje portion lugtløs kamille farvede det tredje bundt garn en sygelig grønlig gul. Den er grimmere i virkeligheden - og nummer 1 er pænere.

The third part of the scentless mayweed was used to dye the third skein. The colour turned greenish. It's uglier in real life and number one is prettier.

Vi har længe været kede af at vi ingen svaler har. Det må de have hørt, for i dag sad svaleungerne på vores tørrestativ og blev madet af mor og far.

We have lamented the fact that we have no swallows' nests here. The swallows might have heard it. Today this family sat on our laundry lines, the young ones still getting fed by their parents.

     Ud over dette spiste vi kage, lugede, legede med Lego, spillede spil, læste,... og nød solen lige indtil det blev regnvejr lige da vi skulle til at spise kage.

And we had cake, weeded, played with legos, read books and comics, played games, ... and enjoyed the sunshine until we decided to have coffee and cake in the garden, and the rain came.
