Escape from boredom

Pictures taken on the 23’rd of Feb. early morning. Not in focus at all, but you get the point of how the very strong led lights mounted on the machine lit up the forest.

Upper from about two weeks ago, below from this morning.

On Sunday the 1’st Iver and I was out enjoying the snow. Two days after I went for a run and the conditions had completely changed, picture taken at the same locations as the one from the previous blog post showing the snow sledge at the bottom right.

Applying the final touch on the concrete floor before we can start to lay the parquet flooring. The concrete needed to be leveled, small job doing that – the problem was afterwards when I had to clean the tooling. Since all water faucets outside still was frozen I went down to the small stream (brook) and cleaned it there, just like Elin’s grandmother washed clothes back in the old days. Worked as a charm, tools and bucket all clean and nice now.

Yesterday me and Iver went out together, and in order for me to get some training and he to get some fun I found my backpack and attached the tow rope to the backpack and started running (ok, walking…).

…testing new kitchen utensils, cookware and such. What a great day to try the new small saucepan to melt butter, in order to make svele. And to make svele we needed to try out the new “steketakke” for the first time.

They are now finished, now all that remains is to get the timber out to where it should be picked up. Actually they did finish last Tuesday, pictures from Wednesday when me and the kids took a walk to check out the new view. But first, Iver had to get a close look at this icicle.

Close to Vanntårnet, the watertower.
