Tarzan of Eksta

Spring is finally here! A certain springsign is that Mini’s old man has climbed a pinetree and attached a rope to a highly located branch in order for Tarzan of  Eksta to maintain his skills.

Spring is sluggish…

…however it is slowly but surely invading Gotland. The flowers are sprouting in my neighbers garden.

They’re coming today!

Hey, come on, man, what are you waiting for? Let me in, for Pete’s sake!

The kids are coming today. I’ve better load my batteries before they do.

Things do tend to get a bit rushy when they are around!

The importance of moon phases

Surely you are familiar with the fact that the different phases of the moon are important to what happens here on Mother Earth? (If nothing else, certainly you know that warewolves become active when it is full moon?
Seriously; in Sweden we have an old, widespread book called Bondepraktikan, that deals with folkloristic believes and where one can get good advice on the subject when to seed and when to harvest according to the movements of the moon and so forth. The English word “lunatic” has an obvious connection with the Latin name for the moon- Luna etc etc
I have personally made some observations when the moon is shifting its phases:

1. I always get more tired and have a hard time to wake up early at these occasions

2. The weather seems to change and the new type of weather remains until next change of moon phase

The most general advice about the moon phases is this:

1. If you want your hair/nails to grow faster; cut them right before a full moon!
2. If you want your hair/nails to grow more slowly; cut them right before a new moon!

(That is now, by the way)

3. These rules goes for all organic, growing life

If you use Google as your starting page, you have certain possibilities to customise it. I have this practical moon phase indicator on mine:

(The picture abov was inserted in the Swedish version of my blog some days ago. The first real spring days made their entrance then. The moon shifted phase on March 11, and that is when we had our first notion of spring).
Now they arw claiming on Text-TV that winter is making a comeback during this weekend. OK; this is what the moon looks like right now:

As you can see, new moon will soon occur, and that will (according to this theory) coincide with the change in the weather. So, unfortunately they may be right about the comeback of winter. I hope it will not be for long, though!

The customized bike

Dogwalking by bike

Well, spring is definitively here! I’ve been able to excersice my dog Shiva with the bike for five consecutive days now. It’s amazing to see how fast she recovers afterwords nowadays. She is not as heavy as she used to be and it is a pure delight to see her enjoying the speed when she runs beside my bike. She is a little bit undisciplined, however (I know, my fault!), so I have to keep her in a leash. I am still somewhat worried that she will cause me and the bike to crash, just like she did last fall, when I started this training. Tom (the oldest son of my ex-wife, with whom I’m sharing the apartement) was very sceptical to the entire project. -It will never work, he said. She will make you crash! (he was right!), so I had taken certain precautions. I had several layers of sweaters under the leatherjacket when we started out.

Shiva had just accelerated to her top speed (and it was downhill, too, of course!), when she saw a friend of my eldest son on the opposite side of the road, and that was it! She ran right across the road and my body went in an elegant (?) bow through the air and hit the asphalt. But since I had expected this, I was at least prepared for the fall, so I managed to plan it pretty well. I landed on my left elbow and succeded to roll over and get up on my feet in one motion.*phew!* Oddly enough, my first reaction after getting
up on my feet again, was to excuse the dogs behavior in front of the mildly shocked kid. -Well, she has just started to learn, I said. Today is the first day we try it. He nodded and asked if I wasn’t injured after taking such a violent dive. Well, my elbow was a bit tnder for a while after the accident, but apart from that I was fine.
