Dagfinn`s 30th birthday!

"Sveva", here kittykitty....

Update on the cats.... (sorry,I am bored..)

Speedy: alive and kicking (although his name is decieving.He`s anything but speedy- he`s actually neutered, very slow, fat /"big boned" and not even using his size to fight off other male cats who comes in to the barn and it all the cat food.....)

Berta: also alive and kicking (but knocked up ...again...(whore,gough,slut..)....

Sveva :The kitten on the left. Also alive and kicking- already showing the same tendencies as her mother,Berta.......(= will be pregnant soon :) )

Cats who are supposed to be dead but for various reasons are not:
Frode 1: very much alive and kicking, mid. puberty - has his eyes (very good eyes ...) on his sister(...). He got his death sentence yesterday and was supposed to be put to sleep today......well... as already said he is very much still alive. The vet who came to check on some cows was supposed to put him to sleep but when she saw him her heart melted and she decided that she was going to take him home.... Yessss....a life spaired:) Frode 1 is now going to become a member of the Høyheimsviki community:)

Frode 2: Alive... shit ... I really don`t want him to be put to sleep, but we can`t have all these cats roaming around, basically breeding all the time,everywhere....The vet was supposed to take care of him too today, but when I tried to catch him he escaped..... have to remember to call Frode (the human, not the cat..) tomorrow to see if he can come and "take care" of the cat.... sob.sob....

that concludes this week`s "Cat news"....

pretty,pretty:)

Pictures I took before the
snow came:) Pretty nice if I
may say so myself:)

Kroken Crunk Fest

Last monday I was in Kroken to attend a "Kroken Crunk Fest". The weather was great and with the hot sun and the beer tasting "extravaganza" I was on a spin before the clock had turned 4 in the afternoon.... I had a great vacation on the "other side of the fjord":) All 24 hours of it! Lots of thanks to Ian,Emily,Megan,Adam and Bubba for food and drinks - I had a great time!

Pictures taken in Kroken (or Kruuuuuken as Adam would pronounce it:) ... )

Preparty to a brepub (glacierpub)

Party at our house before we went to the glacier center. A lot of people came, an basically everybody got drunk:)

Above:Marthe and Bubba are practising hand- signals ...HAHA
Left:Irv and Ian are getting cozy(...) on the couch....
Above:The Beards had been kind enough to redecorate the entire house before we got home. The wallpaper is called "Hung Pirate" and can be bought at your local interiour design shop..... I guess the house needed a male touch:) hehe

Brrrrrr....

This is my cousin Sondre.. who has gone mental..... that looks freezing (picture taken by his father)

The kittens have been found!!

In the barn where we milk the cows we have 3 cats. 1 female and 2 male cats. About 2 months ago I suddenly realized that the female was getting a little bit chubby around the middle, and it wasn`t all fat... She had gotten herself knocked up... the litte tramp!... But I am a sucker for cute kittens so it wasn`t actually such a big deal for me, you know.... But the problems started when she suddenly got slim again and we couldn`t find the kittens anywhere. And we had to find them...... in order to kill most of them....Kittens are really cute when they are little, but when they grow up they breed like rabbits .So in order to prevent 250 cats running around Gjerde within a year, we had to find them. My little sister and I looked everywhere and in the end we just thought they were dead (eaten by a fox or something..). But as I was going to the barn yesterday morning I suddenly saw 4 tiny, cuddely wuddely, cute, fluffy, beautiful kittens running around in the barn.... They are soooo cute! There are 1 female and 3 male kittens so the female is safe but the males are basically doomed. According to my mom the females are the best hunters... or vicious killers, if you like... just like human females:)


Update:
Frode has been here and killed two of the male kittens. I couldn`t find the last one at the time he was here. The last kitten actually escaped death by minutes (found him just as Frode left...). So now I wonder how long my sister and I can keep it a secret that he didn`t kill all 3 male kittens.... Maybe my mom won`t notice? I mean, there are allready 4 cats there, why not 5???

Sumargilde 2006

This year the Sumargilde (a party for all the people in the valley who work in tourism during the summer) was held at Grov on July 30th, and this year we had a pirat party! Fierce pirates gathered to find pirat booty and drink grog. Aaaarg, it was a grrrreat party... says I!
