Escape from boredom

Yesterdays weather forecast was a bit out of scale, luckily the forecast was not fulfilled.

Yesterday me and the two oldest ones went to Circus Arnardo.

The boys really had fun, they especially loved the clowns. We all enjoyed the trained animals and the rest, but I must admit that what really impressed me was the Norwegian artist Chris Pettersen doing his slackline/slackrope show. I found the act on Youtube, but I must admit that seeing it live was even more impressing – but well worth spending time watching the video. [video:youtube:yZCpgcuWLC8]

Had to clean the greenhouse, since it had actually become green due to moss and fungus.

To make the job a whole lot easier the next time I need to cut down grass, deciduous trees and all that prevents the spruce plants to grow up I have marked each one with a stake. Can do since it is just about 50 plants

Thanks to my dad and Siri we now have black currant jam and red currant lemonade

Had to cut down the spruce hedge and this year not just a little bit. Did first try to use the tractor and the front loader, but it did not reach high enough, so down to Løken and rent a boom lift.

Not the best picture, but look closly and you will be able to see how much I did cut

Last Wednesday we packed the car and headed for Vestlandet to visit family. First stop was at Norwegian Railway Museum where all of us had a lot of fun and we would really recommend for others to stop there as well.

Then we stopped for the night at Fossheim Hotell, where I enjoyed a bottle of “Heidrun – eit Fossheimøl”

Heidrun er navnet på ei geit i norrøn mytologi som beiter på taket av Valhall saman med hjorten Eiktyrne. Heidrun forsyner einherjarne i Valhall med mjød som renn frå juret hennar og ned i eit stort drikkekar.
– Einherjarne var dei som falt i kamp på jorda og kom til Åsgård etter døden.

Heidrun er og 4. generasjons drivar av Fossheim Hotell

Then the day after, on the ferry from Eidsdal to Linge.

Yesterday we headed home again, this time staying at Beitostølen. So what better than to stop at Lemonsjøen to stretch the legs.

This morning from the hotell window.
