Shitty, crappy, handicap hand!

My hand didn't get better over night! The pain is worse and I can almost not use it. I can't manage to use any kind of force/strengths, so something as grabbing on or something is out of my way.

Everyday thing like brushing my teeth or to strap on my bra, was a hell of a striving. And I'm supposed to work as a waitress for 8 more days with this crappy hand? FML...

Has swelled up quite a bit...

DDE concert at the Sunndal Cultural Festival

Today's culture festival main attraction is the concert held by D.D.E, who is a Norwegian pop/rock band founded in 1992.

While working I could hear most of their songs thumping out of speakers, and I have to say I sang along when their most famous songs came:

"Rompa mi"

"E6"

"Her blir det liv! Rai! Rai!"

Pain in finger joints

My first day for helping out for the Sunndal Cultural Festival, and at the end of the day I started to get pain in the finger joints. Especially after much use of the hands in any respect.

After such a session my fingers is stiffer, and it is difficult to make a fist.

I noticed it especially when cleaning, if I clenches my fist little too hard, I also get pain when I start to open it again. Especially at the joint closest to the palm, but also in the following.

Wonder if it is inflammation... Anyways, it's bad timing, I gonna work as a waitress for about 10 days, and I just started. And I do need the money! Can't get a sick leave....

Sunndal Cultural Festival 2013

Sunndal Cultural Festival is a annual festival where they celebrates at the end of June and this year is held from 20 - 29 June.

There are a multitude of concerts, events and exhibitions during the festival, however, the main attraction is the music play of "Lady Arbuthnott - The mistress of Elverhøy" (Lady Arbuthnott - Frua på Elverhøy), by Norwegian playwright, Stig Nilsson with music by Lars Ramsøy-Halle.

It's a story about love and sorrow, abundance and poverty. Stig Nilsson - who wrote the libretto for the musical, said this about Barbara:

"For me the story of Lady Arbuthnott, is the story of the woman who lost everything."

The play is based on a true history of Barbara Arbuthnott, who come to Sunndal in 1866 for her honeymoon. She and her third husband, William Arbuthnott, fell in love with the Norwegian nature, the valley, the mountains and the fishing in the Driva river. The visit was repeated the next two years before she decided to settled in Sunndalsøra. In the summer of 1968 she bought half of the farm Løykja, consumption Elverhøy. The farm is now a heritage park, located on Grøa in Sunndal municipality.

Because of her strong personality and her active involvement in the community, she was legendary in her own lifetime. She made the Victoria Era a part of the culture and lifestyle of Sunndal local history. In the vernacular, she was eventually titled as "Sunndals uncrowned queen".

This years is 18 consecutive years for the music play.

Because of the annual festival I will from tomorrow on stay in Sunndalsøra for work, and I am really looking forward for it!

After all, Sunndal is well know for her wild and beautiful scenery with alpine mountains and fjords.

Breakfast at work ♥

Came to work today and one of my buddy in the kitchen who had responsibility for today's breakfast/lunch, asked if I have eaten. As always, nope, haven't had the time for it, since I came straight from school. Then he commanded me "sit" and next I knew he brought me breakfast ♥ Yey!

Fried eggs with bacon and toast, and apple nectar / juice

Trollstigen - Troll's Path

Another beautiful summer day, so we decided yet a road trip, but this time to Trollstigen - Troll's Path. Trollstigen is located in the heart of Romsdal, and is a narrow way which weaves from Osterdalen up to Stigrøra.

The road is surrounded by majestic mountains that bear names like Kongen (The King), Dronningen (The Queen) and Bispen (The Bishop). The road is part of the National Tourist Route Geiranger - Trollstigen. Trollstigen has 9 % slope and has 11 hairpin turns up the steep mountain sides.

On our way, and a little stop for lunch.

One last look of the view before we go further.

Halfway up the Troll's Path.

At the top, we saw a nice vehicle - Rewaco

Hunters Stew

Today we tried hunter stew from Toro (a company that creates ready meals). Toro hunters stew can be served with all kinds of meat, but tastes especially good with venison. The preparation was easy:

1. Cut 500-600 g meat and brown it in the frying pan.
2. Empty bag contents into a saucepan. Add 2 cups sour cream / crème fraîche and 6 ml of water.
3. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly and cook for 10 minutes. Add the meat at the end of the cooking time.
4. Serve with baked potatoes, mashed potatoes or rice.

Since we did not manage to agree on the accessories, we took both potato ball and rice. And wolá! A tasty stew with much good in. Behold of our deluxe dinner, Potato Ball with pork strips, vegetables, gravy and rice!

Atlanterhavsveien - Atlantic Ocean Road

It's a beautiful day, and we can really feel that summer is approaching. So after my roommate is done for today's work, we hit the road. We drove towards Atlanterhavsveien (Atlantic Ocean Road), and some surrounding area.

Most of the way through The Atlantic Ocean Road was filmed, but I haven't had the time to convert the the video, so only pictures taken from the car from surrounding areas.

17 May feast

The night of 17th May, is a night where almost everyone get them self drunk, especially the young ones who are between High school to College/University still.

17th May is our National day, also know as Norwegian Constitution Day, and for tradition all the youngster who is graduating from High Schools this year, will from May 1 to May 17 become Russ. Easy explained a 17 days celebration, known as Russefeiring, or "Russ celebration".

My friends refrigerator

He lives in a student residence, on the 4th floor, and he is to lazy to go down second floor to the kitchen where the refrigerator is. So this is his solution.

Long live laziness!
