Here we have two pictures of Loy driving a tractor for the first time in his life. Under the superb guidenance by me he managed to drive it for about 200 meters and park it by the barn. Next time when visiting we must teach him to go in reverse with the trailer mounted as well.
Later I polished the car to my uncle with the help of Loy.
And afterwards we took our time of enjoying a cold beer and talking to Kent on the phone. He was in Sweden with his family.
A week ago we started our vacation, leaving our appartment to my family who is attending Norway Cup. On the first day we drove from Oslo via Kongsvinger, Torsby, Mora to Østersund where we stayed at the very nice Hotel Gamla Teatren http://www.gamlateatern.se/. We did also hook up with my mother & CO. The next day we headed for Lierne, drove by Namskogan and ended up at Mosjøen.
We have seen several milion trees, thats for sure!
Elin realizing that östersund has the largest antique shop in Sweden, just to realize seconds later that our car is packed and we cannot bring even a small plate
Yesterday I spent the day out on the town together with my brother and sisters. First we went to see the reptiles in Oslo Reptilpark http://www.reptilpark.no/. Quite small, and after just about half an hour we went on to the Museum of Cultural History http://www.khm.uio.no/ We saw all the exhibitions, Jonas wanted to stay there longer, but in respect of Trude and Ingrid we went on. The next stop was the cinema where we watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/ I’m quite sure they french kissed at the end, but my sisters disagree.

Today I have been a solider in the war against Avena fatua at Vestreng. The oat which is considered a noxious weed here in Norway. It is boring for sure, going there in the field, bending down trying to spot the oat, but the law say that we must do it. If you are in to Norwegian you can read the law here http://www.regelhjelp.no/Templates/Emne____6870.aspx
Anders, Elin’s father walking around.
And here I found one which I picked and carried back home in a plastic bag. Later we will burn it.

Det var ein strålande maidag på Nordvestlandet….
The pilot might have been sick the first lesson, and missed some very important information
[video:youtube:CxeS27akB8M]Was surfing on http://maps.google.com when I turned on “view images” and then ended up on this webpage http://www.panoramio.com/ Yet another service from Google. Must admit that some of the stuff they do is quite amazing!
If you want to try out games with a purpose go to http://www.purposegames.com/ Instead of just jumping over barrels while you shoot bad guys you can instead test your knowledge of countries, cities and more.
Another thing, at the subway today a guy sitting on the other side was obviously talking someone sitting opposite of him. At first I found his way of talking quite strange, I was never sure if he was singing or talking. Then when I had a closer look I realized that he was infact all alone, and he was sitting there singing. Not whole songs, just bits and pieces. Obviously a bit weird. Almost scarry when things like this happens, never sure what to expect of such guys…
This picture is three years old, available at http://www.norgeibilder.no It shows how much trees it was back then.
If compared with the above picture this one is taken in the down left corner facing upwards.
And this one is taken in the down right corner facing updwards. As you can see plenty of trees are now available as fire wood.
But finished is maybe a bit wrong to say, still all the trees must be chopped to fire wood. And about 400 meters of fencing needs to be done…then – we can let the horses out…
Whenever I have a hangover http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangover the best song to listen to if you ask me is Pink Floyd “Mother”. Not sure how many days I have managed to crawl into the livingroom and put this song on just to crawl back to my bed again.
[video:youtube:wBkTUzKAiXQ]Just for the record, I do not have a hangover today !!
