Storm damage from very very high winds
and 3 panels were ripped off completely but amazingly seem to fly right over the house (and
tv mast) to end up on the other side of the road at the front of the house. That must have
been some freak wind as this roof has been there for 25+ years.

At last some snow…but…
According to the weather forecast HERE this is as close as we
will get to a White Christmas. It will probably have disappeared by
Christmas Day (the snow not the squirrel)

Svärdlång Lake in Bengtsfors Kommune
This is a trial video which just about shows this lake. It had previously been unviewable from the E172 road due to the heavy forestation. Some cutting has now taken place and the lake is just about viewable. It's one of over 300 lakes in Bengtsfors Kommune which is only 890 sq.kilometres and has just 11 people per sq.kilometre.

Tanker crash on E6
Not very often, thankfully, that something like this happens I hope no-one was injured. I travelled this route yesterday with quite high winds causing occasional problems. It is a reminder to us all just how much we rely on the Police and safety services. Imagine having to deal with this – and you are not even quite sure what chemicals are causing the explosion/fire. Risky work!

media sloppiness
Staggering how professionals employed in the communications business still manage to mess up. One would think with all the modern tech, digital pics instantly communicated,internet access, that NEWSER would have managed to read the article they were reporting about in the Swedish online newspaper www.thelocal.se
Had they done so they would have seen a correct picture of a Swedish ELG and not a picture of an American ELK.

11 months ago I wrote on this blog :
I did not agree then, or now, that Li Shufu and Geely would be bad for Volvo. So check out a few headlines:

Autumn already
Morning mists and fuller colours. I guess it must be Autumn.
Strange how the Cherry trees have all been losing their leaves so early this year. Not just with us either,some friends 35 km away have also reported the same.

I LIKE Uddevalla…a lovely town
You can hardly think you are in the middle of a town
and it boasts what I think is one of the most beautiful bridges in the world
