One of my favourite cartoons is Asterix and Obelix. Now it's 50 years since René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo made up the characters. I've read all the magazines that they made together. Unfortunately Goscinny died in 1977 only 51 years old. I don't think that the cartoon has the same quality when Uderzo started to give out new magazines by himself. Goscinny also was one of the persons that invented the cartoon figure Lucky Luke that I also have had great fun reading. Today I happened to find a brand new magazine of Asterix written by Goscinny and Uderzo that has been waiting to be released. Tonight I'll celebrate Asterix and Obelix anniversary by reading "The Gold Book". Happy anniversary!
It's been some foggy mornings lately, and this morning I brought my camera while the dogs were running about. The terrier spent most of the time digging holes. She even digs with her teeth. The shelties spent most of the time running. Often the days will be foggy like this untill the middle of the day when the sun manages to come through. But if the days get colder and the big lake nearby gets covered with ice, the days will be bright and clear again. I made a new album where I put the rest of the photos: http://my.opera.com/norfrid/albums/show.dml?id=929782
We spent the afternoon at the race track in Drammen where Tryggvar got second place in his harness race. There it was a really sunny atumn day, and we had a very nice time. Tonight the fog is back, but maybe the sun will shine again tomorrow.
Sometimes it's worth getting up early. Even on a Sunday. It was a beautiful sunrise this morning, and I took this photo out of the kitchen window. A fox was strolling along the road and I had lit a fire in the oven. The coffee was ready and the dogs, horses and my little cat have been fed. The other person in the house will probably sleep for another couple of hours, so this is kind of my private time of the day. And I love it.
I first read about blog action day in Scott's blog (I_ ArtMan), and was amazed by the speach of the young girl in the video that he shows us. Everyone should take a look. Well, I think that blog action day was yesterday, but I will contribute anyway.
Blog action day is about climate changes, poverty and about saving our planet. Some people do take action, like this man in Bangladesh. They're about to loose their country to the water. All of it caused by climate changes.
Out in the morning to feed the horses. Dogs running free. Angel is busy eating horse manure, and forgets why she is outdoors. Poop and pee on the floor after breakfast. Walk the dogs for about an hour. The air is cold, but the sun is shining so it is going to be another beautiful day. The horses are let out in the paddoc. There is a thin layer of ice on their water. Then it's time to walk the neighbour's dog. Lunch. Shopping needs to be done and a little house work. Cleaning the stable is also necessary. I take the dogs just down the hill and get some autumn shots. The dogs eat cow manure, so I don't spend much time down there. Soon going out to shoe a horse. At six it's time for Reodor's last obedience class. He is doing fine, but we should have trained a lot more at home. Seems to be a late dinner tonight.
Yesterday I met another girl from our local dog club and we spent a couple of hours together training our dogs. Trine brought her camera and took a lot of photos of my dogs while I took some of hers. We had a very nice time and the dogs also got the chance to run and play. I was so glad when I received these photos of my dogs in a mail.
Our trotting horse Tryggvar did his third race yesterday. It was a long race and he had to go three laps around the track. He started slowly, but was in the lead during the second lap. Then he had a gallop and three other horses passed him. He also had a short gallop right at the end of the race but came in as number two. I'm so proud of this tiny little horse.
