The best picture this summer


...is of my nephew, Thorvald. As I'm living at my parents' house for the time being, I got to be with him several days when my sister and her husband came to visit. Thorvald is six months old, puts everything in his mouth, bends my glasses inwards-out, and drules all over whover's holding him. It's great.

The other picture is from Sølve and Leifs cabin near Mølen, where there are beaches with rolling stones, and Viking burial heaps (?) Probably not the right word for it, but never mind. Sølve is my wild friend from schooldays who has now turned into mature herb-growing interior-focused woman, all because of love :-)

I'm back in Fjærland now, I quit the job that I've had for eight years in Balestrand. I'm not sure what I'll be doing in the future, a thought that is wonderful and scary at the same time. In September I'm going to Spain, to Jerez de la Frontera. But that only lasts ten days, so I guess I'll have to come up with something better than that...

I finish off this blog with a small thing I made tonight, for the Rundballe festival, which is taking place in Fjærland 25 - 27. August. I'll probably write more about it later, but in short, it's Land Art made of those white balls of hay that you can see everywhere in the countryside. Norwegian artist Magne Vangsnes is responsible for placing ten thousand of these white balls around in the landscapes. If I was submitted to bad pun-making I could say that the farmers all trusted him with there balls, but am I going to do that? Absolutley not. Good night.

så søt Thorvald er! Jeg leste nettopp en hysterisk morsom bok om traktoregg, med tegninger av Per Dybvig. Den fokuserte på at det er jo egentlig kumatpakker, men så kom der noen dumme kjempefugler og tok en for de kunne ikke få barn, så de ville prøve å klekke et traktoregg. Ville de adoptere en traktor?

Grattis med fin blogg! Du er flink! Må minst være overbegavet!? Så vidt jeg vet er det ingen andre jeg kjenner som har en blogg. Særlig fint er det med bildet av Mølen.
