ILLUSTRATED ADVENTURES DAY 132
Katt med Förfruset Öra - Cat with Frost-Bitten Ear

2006-01-06

Spain next year perhaps? Said the cat.

Det var 16 grader kallt häromdagen.
Maria tog ut katten i trädgården en kort stund medan jag dammsög vår lägenhet. Vår dammsugare drivs av dubbla Rolls-Royce jetmotorer och katten hatar den om möjligt mer än jag själv gör (bärandes på traumatiska minnen av dammsugarljud från barndomen), enda orsaken till att vi står ut med denna helvetesmaskin är att den också skurar golvet.
Det är en liten lägenhet så jag var klar på mindre än en kvart. Likväl hann katten med att förfrysa ena örat, så nu hänger det sådär som på bilden.

Detta är inte en plats för levande.

Nu är det varmare, -14, jag står fan inte ut med att sitta still längre, knäna stelnar och knakar och små osynliga djur lever om under skinnet efter flera dagar av infrusenhet. Går ut och springer en sväng runt Grahns Göl i Nacksta innan middagen. Runt 9 km, och cordon bleu-kycklingschnitzel från Lidl om ni undrar.

Jo, just det, i dag är det trettondedag jul. Enligt folklig mysticism ska man om man festar ordentligt i kväll få ett bra fortsatt år.

It was -16C (3.2F) the other day.
Maria brought the cat out into the garden while I was vaccum-cleaning our apartment. Our vacuum-cleaner is powered by twin Rolls-Royce jet-engines and the cat hates it perhaps even more than I do (despite me carrying traumatic childhood vacuum-cleaner noise memories), the only reason that we stand this apparatus from hell is that it also scrubs the floor.
It's a small apartement so I was finished within fifteen minutes. Even so the cat managed to get frost-bitten in the ear, so it now hangs down slightly, as you can see in the picture.

This is not a place for the living.

Now it's warmer, -14C (6.8F), and I just can't stand being still any longer, my knees are stiff and creaky and small invisible animals crawl under my skin after several days of frozen-inness. I'm going out for a run, around Grahn's Pond in Nacksta, before dinner. 9 kilometres and Cordon-blue chicken schnitzel if you're curious.

And by the way, today's Epiphany, and according to ancient mystic tradition, the rest of the year will be a good one for those partying hard tonight.

Love your format.

My high school German was decades ago, but it is nice to be able to pick out a word or two.

Just the freedom to roam takes the edge off cabin fever. I have been working on a project and mainly stuck inside, except for a few short strolls.

Knowing I can enjoy those strolls makes being inside bearable.

I'll enjoy the sun for you; or you can come visit.

I'm glad that there's at least one person in the world who's actually had at least as many beers as I this evening. That's actually Swedish I'm trying to write, maybe a few words are shared with the germans, but I actually think English is closer.

I've just watched "Tetsuo the Iron Man" for the first time, a Japanese movie which is a crossing between "The Andalusian Dog" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer". Pretty entertaining when not too sober.
