Weed tending

A weed is a plant that is not only in the wrong place, but intends to stay. — Sara Stein.

Weed tending a couple of weeks ago, removing a lot of dooryard docks and spear thistles. When having the proper gloves it is quite easy to get rid of the thistles, just pulling them straight up.

And note, weed as in Norwegian “ugress”, not weed as in weed meaning cannabis 🙂

My latest books – Jules Verne

Last week when away on vacation I read two books with five stories written by Jules Verne

  • En reise til jordens indre (Voyage au centre de la terre)
  • 5 uker i ballong (Cinq semaines en ballon)
  • Reisen til månen (De la Terre à la Lune)
  • En ferd rundt månen (Autour de la Lune)
  • Et drama i luften (Un drame dans les airs)

Amazed by the level of details in the stories. Also fun/interesting to read how his view of Africa was now almost 150 years ago, or actually it is 150 years ago.

Unwanted visitors in the garden

Two weeks ago we had a visitor in the garden of the house that we rent out. The driver came from Løken and somehow managed to come very close to the trash stand, I guess he touched it the the mirror of car. You can see a crack and that the tiles have been moved. Then jumped on to the lawn and rolled over, broken glass on the lawn as well.

The article from the newspaper the day after can be read here at Indre.no
