Going to Folkestad


Lately there hasn't been any knitting or blogging. We have been busy helping my eldest son and fiancee to get their kitchen painted etc. I have finished some more dishcloths and the second Paradoxical mitten. I will post it later. But Thursday we will go to Folkestad to visit my in-laws and I hope I will be able to do some knitting and new projects.

The weather today is terrible and I really hope for better weather in "Vestlandet".

Det har vært travelt i det siste, lite strikking og blogging, men har strikka ferdig flere kopptue og den andre votten i PM. No drar vi til Folkestad, til gården mannen min har overtatt, men det viktigste er besøket hos svigerforeldrene mine. Da burde det bli tid til strikking; har så lyst på nokka nytt!!

Snowing


From the parade yesterday, look at the snowflakes, making the pic blurry!
Bildet er et utsnitt av et større, derfor dårlig kvalitet, inntrykk av snøværet er likevel tydelig, hopefully :)

Middag og kaker/Dinner and cakes

Kvæfjordkake, også kalt "verden beste" og deilig ostekake!

We had my two sons with partners for dinner. Delicious food and greate cakes which my daughter -in-law to-be had made. The food was untraditional for us, we usually have salmon or trout, but to make everyone happy, we made lime chicken with a hot salsa salad and fried rice with spices. They are not very happy about having their photos taken and put in my blog so here are the cakes and a detail from the decoration.

17.mai HURRA!











Today is our constitutional day, it's freesing cold, and we had snow during the parade. We (those who are that lucky) are carrying our National Costumes and waving the flag while we sing and shout "hurra". It's a lovely day.
The National costumes in the picture are from this region, they are called "nordlandsbunad" and they come in blue and green.

More pictures from the day are found in our local newspaper. Click here.
Frys-i-hjel-dagen 2008, ullkledd fra innerst til ytterst! Men vi sto han av. Marsjering, kafebesøk med obligatorisk kaffe og kake, i år ispedd et internasjonalt innslag; empanada fra en bod i stedet for pølse med brød,- jammi :)

Moebius

I found a very interesting link, if you are interested in Moebiuses that is. You can read and learn, but not copy or print, it's the book by Cat Bordhi. Click here to have a go :)

Tromsø in May



When I woke up this morning this was the view from my bedroom window. It had been snowing all night long. The next photo is from my veranda showing people in the street, having dressed in winter clothing once again before adventuring out. Last weekend we enjoyed the sun and getting a tan. The saying is that you can have all seasons in one day!

Barcelona


This was a former quiz I took, and I love Barcelona!! I "lost" the photo I wanted to add. My own pics are old-fashioned, - not digital ones. Found it!

You Belong in Barcelona
When it comes to Europe, you don't want to decide between culture and fun. You want art by day and a big party by night.Barcelona is ideal for you. You can check out some Picasso, eat some tapas, take a siesta, and then dance all night!
What European City Do You Belong In?

Attention seeker!!??

you are violet
#EE82EE

Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be.

Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan.

Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.
