Days are a bit short and bad weather coming in tonight so we had to skip the initial plan and just go for a peak where I have already been three times, but Tommy not once so he was most excited. We went down in the dark and got safe home before the hard wind and rain was hitting the islands.

Today we went to the torchlight procession in Ballstad, me and Kjartan...and of course all the others! Finally we are getting the bike road between Ballstad and Gravdal, that's really good news!

Rainy weekend

 

 

 

Summary about my week:
Monday I went to the funeral agency with Margareta and two of her sons. We had to go through some practical details. It felt very unreal, like I was in a movie or something. Later I took the train to Oslo where I stayed the night with Terje and Anne Marit.
Tuesday I met Tommy and his friend for lunch before we took the same flight north. When I arrived I realised that my baggage was not coming. It appeared to still be in Oslo and I managed to put my keys inside there...Tommy and I had pizza while waiting for a call about my backpack. It wasn't going to arrive until tomorrow so I called my good friend Gyda. We had some hot chocolate and watched a movie then went to bed pretty late actually.
Wednesday we had breakfast and went to work. Just before work was finished I got my bag and got a ride home with Wenche, who also had taken care of my bike which I left at the hospital same day I left. So I got my bag and my bike and was back in Lofoten, and finally inside my home. Then the storm came.
Thursday I went climbing with Tommy after work, then Kjartan called about the funeral...
Friday I left work two hours earlier. Kjartan picked me up and we went to the church. It was another young person, a son to a very good friend of us. It was very beautiful and very emotional, I felt like I was crying rivers but I guess it was all too much at once with my dad and everything.
Saturday we had a fire just to get out even though the weather was really bad.
Sunday I was just home and it was ok since the weather was bad and I think I needed to do nothing.

Until I join you...




I know that death brought you release,
I try to envision your joy on that shore across the sea.
Love you dad.

Almost Bjørntind

Happy hikers.
Gloomy sunday. 
It's kind of wet today.

Today we went hiking despite the weather. We attempted Bjørntind. We had all kinds of weather, rain, hail, snow and wind. But we decided it was too slippery to climb those last rocks covered with thin snow. Then I called to hear about my dad. Apparently he was sleeping so I'll try calling tomorrow.

BANFF


Today was the day we have been working for a long time and I was kind of nervous...

but it all went well. Actually it was a success with 165 tickets sold. And Anne Marthe did a very inspirational speech about life in the sailboat. (This morning I got a call from my brother about my dad coming to hospital so I worried about that too. Then they said he was not in critical state so I tried to enjoy the evening and thought I would call tomorrow...
