Life at the Cabin

Even if there is electricity at the cabin

it's always nice to light candles.

this is our new addition

And old kerosene lamp!

It lights the room up very cosily

and gives warmth too

At night: lovely cold white wine

And some prawns, delicious!

This is how I make toast at the cabin, in the oven

under the grill.

Highly more effective than the toaster we used to have!

And in this little kettle

I boil our eggs for breakfast!

New Gadget!

For a long time, I felt like this: trapped with my film memories in a glass wall.

My camera use Firewire to transfer films to my PC

But in my new laptop there is no where to plug the Firewire!

How frustrating!

But then after more than a year of searching

I found another way!

This is my new Friend!

Dazzle.

And now I'm about to burn all my digital tapes on DVD's.

The next thing is to try to transfer the VHS films the same way.
And I am such a happy nerd!

Friendship and open spaces

I love open spaces

the sound of the waves

the wind against my face!

Good talks with my soulmate!

See the profile in the sky?

who was that watching over us?

Two good friends!

The beach and the horizon

And the lighthouse in Hirtshals

helping the ships to find their way

The view from our little flat

at sunset

Soul mates

Sometimes in a lifetime

you meet someone that will mean something special to you

Your soul recognizes a kindered soul

You know this is someone special.

This happened to me many years ago when I was 16

I met my best friend and soul mate

We had so much fun!

Then some years later

my soul mate found a Danish lad and moved with him to Denmark

I found my English lad and brought him home with me to Norway

we had finished school, got jobs, got married, had kids

Our days were busy

and the physical distance between us seemed impossible to overcome

still our souls were connected

every now and then we sent letters filled with longing

Then there was email

and the communication became more frequent

once more we became a part of eachothers everyday life

Even though we rarely met in person

I remember picturing the two of us in the future

when our kids got older and more independent

and we slightly middle aged

then we might be able to meet

more regularely.

And now we're there

Tomorrow I'll meet my soul mate in Denmark

No husbands, no kids, off work

just two 41 year old 16 year olds!

Birthday in the house

Someone celebrated his birthday yesterday:

Yorkshire lad, Happy birthday!

He wanted his food

hot baby hot

Indian chicken a la home made

And sweet baby sweet

Cheese cake
