Lots of mail!

Weee, I got lots of mail in my "inbox" right now, and one long one (7 A4 pages!) on the way to my good pal in Slovenia. =)

I love to have all the good letters all together like that, it makes me want to write and write and write. Which I actually have been doing to day, LOL!

I will answer Sophie, Jacqueline, Marga, Jeanette, Alessandra, Rebecca and Carol over the coming weeks. Autumn is creaping up so it's an even greater time to be indoors writing letter while listening to music and such.

Love you all.

Candle lights for the victims

Today we had a minute of total silense at work, to honour the victims in the awful attacks.




We also light candles, one for every victim...




We arranged them as flowers. I think it was very pretty.

Summer?

Not so much...

We had some thunder storms again last night, kept me awake for an hour or so. =S Blah. Wish for sun and warm summerlike weather. Miss those cousy summer days.

In another week it is time for summer vacation and I am sooo looking forward to some time off. Just for myself, together with Frode. Hope we will have a fantastic time even though both our plans had to be changed.

At first we were supposed to go to Femund National Park, but then came the year of True Lemmings which have led to hare plague in the waters and streams. It is unsafe to drink the water so then we decided to have a car trip vacation and camp by streams and lakes by the road, so we could buy food and water along the way.

Now a flood warning has been broadcasted in that area, actually in the whole eastern part of Norway. So our THIRD pland is to stay in the mountain cabin and relax there. Maybe go to Røros and Trondheim like last time we were there.

A good vacation I hope for no matter the weather. =)

Real stone carvings!

Today we went to a town to have a look at a car. And went to see some stone carvings.




They are amazingly clear! And beautiful!

Tiny feet.

My cute little rats are really sleepy.


Both snugling up inside a coffee capsual box.

Aww, look at her tiny feet!
