fiske, blåbær, Femund II, treklatring

Around a month a go Anne Helga and I left for Femundsmarka. We had marked our calendars with "autumn colours", and we did not return disappointed.
The first day we met at Hamar, and then drove off to Elgå where we stayed at a camping site. Wine and maps is a good combination.

Elvenga Camping, Fresvik, Sykkel, rallarveg
...
By some unknown reason, Elin Marie and I found out this spring that we wanted to go visiting Liv in
Fresvik this summer. And so we did.
Karoline and I are ready to go!
The first obstacle met us in the middle of nowhere in Nordmarka... Happily he finished after 30 min!

bestemor, Trollheimen, Drogsetmoen, feltarbeid
...
From Vinjerock I drow 500 km together with Nils Einar, and on Sunday evening I finally reached
Skogn where I was met by a smiling Camilla, Torbjørn and sweet, little Selma. I helped Torbjørn getting in the cows before we had a wonderful dinner. In the end it looked like this:
I traveled further north the next day, to Namsos where I checked one of my master fields with oat and barley. Then I turned south, and traveled to my grandmother at Drogsetmoen where I stayed for one week.
Else Marte and I tried to climb Snota (the mountain between us in the picture) in Trollheimen,

Vinjerock, Romedal, Gålå, maling
...
From Vågå I went to
Romedal to visit Anne Helga. The first two days we spent painting her kitchen, but on the second day Marte, a friend of Anne Helga got a nice idea: why not go and see
Peer Gynt at
Gålå? We got tickets, and the next day we headed for Gålå. It turned out to be both 20 years anniversary and premiere, not bad!
Happy girls waiting for Peer.
The play is played outdoor with an amazing stage and surroundings, and a very good chamber orchestra.

Sæter, Vågå, Fresvik, Eventyrfestival
...
This summers I had three weeks of holiday in July, and those was used to visit good friends and family over more or less the whole south and middle Norway.
First I went to Liv and Geoff in
Fresvik. There I spent one week, enjoying a very nice summer party, eating a lot of good food, helping with different things to their organic guesthouse,
Frøys Hus (Go visit them, I can promise that you wont regret!), hiking in the mountains and laughing!
Liv and Elin and the blueberries!
Just like I like it!

Ås, Sykkel, sommerjobb, havrefrisør

This summer I have worked at Vollebekk, the research farm of my institute. I have been doing a lot of different things during my weeks there like; following spike shooting, irrigation of vegetables, weeding, hand threshing, following plants in green house (raspberries who grow 40 (!) cm a week, wheat and barley), picking, weighing and counting strawberries and raspberries, measure light, cutting with a scissor in the soil, acting as a oat hair dresser, picking grain from wheat with tweezers and putting it on Nitrogen and so on... Working on a research farm is very good when it comes to fringe benefits, I have taken quite a lot of fruit and vegetables back home!
Like this nice citron basil and thyme.
And a lot of tomato plants, our terrace looks like a jungle right now! :D
The small ones are calles redcurrant tomatoes, and are small as redcurrant! :D

Bryllup, Skiptvedt, snorking, Tor-Jacob
...
In the beginning of July Iris and Tor Jacob got married, and I was asked to take the pictures during the day (except the wedding-card-pictures, that's all too scary!). The wedding was cheerful, smiling and informal all the way through, just as Iris and Tor-Jacob is normally.
Iris having fun up there!
A happy couple who just received a horse shoe from above.

Summer is the time for summerjobs, outdoor life and holidays, so I have taken some months of blog break... I will now try to share some of my summer impressions. In June I had two field courses, vertebrates and agricultural entomology. As always, it was funny, interesting days full of new things, like;
The teeth of a shrew mouse,
the beak of some kind of bird (eaten by an owl),

Til Ungdommen, jubileumskonferanse, Nordahl Grieg, store spørsmål
...
Last Thursday (28th of May) I attended UMBs anniversary conference, named
Food 2009. And it is a long time since something has moved me, or may be not moved, but started so many thoughts in my mind as this conference did. It was a lot of interesting people speaking, from Raj Patel (University of KwaZulu-Natal and University of California (Berkeley)) who spoke about his last book stuffed and starved, Why the global food system is failing and what can be done about it, to more technical and easy to understand issues about why we eat the food we eat and new ways of showing best before dates on food. Raj Patel was one of two who had a long session (50 minutes), and I must admit he very much appealed to my way of looking at the world, and it was nice to hear someone who are quite well known and respected underlining what you are thinking in your little head.

olabil, S. Lærken, Akekonk, Blæsten
...
One of the tings that makes you sure the spring is just around the corner is the yearly "Akekonk" (sledge/pushmobile race) organized by Hunkattene, one of the female organizations at Ås. This year, because of too little snow it was a pushmobile race. It takes place just outside Bohemen, and S. Lærken was of course joining in! Here you can see our fantastic vehicle.
