I will not comment on the state of the world except: I know of one human being who has an inflated view of himself. #mbnov

One thing that have puzzled me for a couple of years is why there is a boat here, this is quite far from lakes, houses, etc. But apparently it’s being used. Some day I will discover why … #mbnov

Current stage of life: every time I stoop down to pick something up, I think about if there is something else I also can do while I’m down there. #mbnov
Utegångsförbud
Tove har utegångsförbud några dagar till. Det ut som om hon håller på att planera hur hon ska få tag på fåglarna när hon väl får gå ut.

Every time I look at the moon I think how near it to earth compared to the size of the universe, but on a human scale it’s really far away. #mbnov
More water than usual
Yesterday was unusually windy and rainy, at least for being Umeå. There were reports of wind speeds of 25+ m/s, and we got at least 64 mm of rain (the rain meter didn’t work all day so it was probably more). We also have had a six-hour power outage. Some parts of Umeå seem to have had more than 1 m of water in their house, several streets in the city were closed due to the water, one car drove into a creek since the road had been destroyed, and I think that an old stone bridge was destroyed.
This kind of weather is a bit unusual for Umeå, I think this is the strongest storm I’ve experienced in this area. However, if compared to what happens in other parts of the world it probably fair to say that this was a minor inconvenience.
Fortunately, the damage in the village where I live were minor. I noticed one old barn with a partly damaged roof and the road close to our house had partly been damaged.
But what was really striking was the water level in the lake. This is how it looked like some time ago, notice the stones out in the water.
This is how it looked like today
In another place it looked like this
So, it was an interesting day yesterday.

I was astonished by the water level in the lake today. I didn’t expect that. #mbnov

Yesterdays weather, a few hundred meters from our house. In other places things have been way worse trees over cars, 1m of water indoors, flooded roads, etc.
