I går var det efterår. Det blæste voldsomt - både telte og trampoliner fløj gennem luften - og det har regnet, meget og voldsomt. Det begyndte allerede i forgårs, med næsten 30 mm vand! og Uglemor, der er et ægte sommerdyr, gik ind i sin Uglehule og lukkede døren efter sig. Derinde syede hun alle de kulørte firkanter sammen, som sømvæven havde kastet af sig i de forgangne 14 dage, og det blev til en herlig varm pude til Skribenten, der havde slidt den gamle op.
Yesterday was a true autumn day, stormy, blowing over tents and trampolines, and preventing MotherOwl's biking. It has been raining too like in pouring down - it began the day before yesterday with 25+ mm. of rain! And all day yesterday you could be sure of getting drenched by one of the violent, but mercifully short showers.
MotherOwl, who is a creature of sunshine and summer has backed into her OwlCave and sewn together all the many coloured, woollen squares that have jumped off the pinloom during the latest two weeks. It turned into a warm cosy pillow for the Writer who had worn out the old one.

Uglemor har trævlet de tre grønne fra første omgang op igen og i stedet vævet fire små - det rakte garnet lige præcis til. Og kanterne blev pæne.
Der er også et forsøg med to farver garn - det kunne Uglemor ikke lige overskue - firkanten er fin, men kanterne ...
MotherOwl un-wove, unravelled, frogged whatever undoing something woven might be called ... the first three green squares and re-wove them into four small squares where the edges were all nice.
MotherOwl also tried her hand at two coloured squares. It was tough. The square is all right, but the edges!

Her er et billede af de udvalgte, der blev en i overskud.
Well anyway here's a mug shot, one was left out.
Og så er puden færdig. Var og blød. Perfekt til når det bliver efterår midt om sommeren.
And the pillow. Cosy and warm. Perfect for those autumn summer's days.
Dear friends. We're in July. It's supposed to be summer. This looks like late September to me!
Sommer! |

That would cheer up the darkest day, Charlotte! We are currently having the same kind of weather. The temperature was 13C today - brrr. Especially after 30C-34C last week. But it is much better sleeping weather, and I don't mind.
SvarSletThank you Jenny. We might yet need it.
SletYou're living in a land of contrasts. As high as 34 degrees is a seldom seen thing here in the summer, as well as below 15 during the daytime (as foreseen for today Brr, here as well), but something 20-ish would be nice. It is summer after all ;)
That pillow looks wonderful. Warmth and comfort for the body and soul. We are heading for maximums around 13 at the moment - which is fine. Sadly no rain. None. Nada. Zip.
SvarSletThank you, the Writer is happy with is as well!
SletIf it was winter, or even late September those temperatures would be acceptable, but we're only a fortnight away from midsummer here! I would send you some of my rain if I could. Now the fields, strawberries and all the other growing things need sun to ripen, not story rainy cold days.
A lovely pillow, and i hope you get some warmer, more summer like weather.
