A Broken Wing
Three days ago, we took in an injured owl. First, it was found on the driveway four days ago, but then no one could attend to it right away because we were on the way out. Then the day after we went on an search operation to find it and check the owl’s injury. Fortunately,…

Staying Away
Temptations are everywhere if you’re not doing anything or bored. The best way to avoid it is to go away, keep moving and be busy with something else. As I’ve read from my Facebook friends’ post “You don’t fight temptations. You stay away from it.” It has been a dream summer weather for a couple…

A Trip to Gytta
Hiking during the day specially when it’s hot is a challenge. It’s a test not only of your stamina but also your mind. A week ago, I went for an afternoon hike near my flat. It’s not far but I struggled uphill due to the heat. It was around 25 degrees Celsius that day. For…

Hammocking Alone
Who would have thought that a city girl like me can survive being alone in the woods? Never in my wildest dreams before I have thought about camping alone. I’ve never been a girl scout before. But here I am smiling because I can’t believe that I actually did it. For me, it’s another achievement.…

How to Kill Boredom
Last week was a perfect week to be outside. It was sunny and warm. The temperature was around 15 degrees Celsius. For me it’s already too hot because I was starting to get used to the cold winter months. I wasn’t complaining though because I found an excuse to skip (and not feel guilty) the…

The Trip to Huldefossen
Again, I’m taking advantage of the sunny weather that we have here in the west. So whenever I’m on the mood for a hike or a short walk after my shift, I either skip dinner (eat only crackers) or finish my dinner really quick to explore new places around Førde. Today I drove to Mo…

A Race Against Darkness
One thing that I hate about autumn and winter days is the limited amount of daylight that we get. It’s very typical that we are always inside during the day because of work and we only have a couple of hours of daylight after. But that’s the reality of life-we can’t have everything. However, we…

It’s a good day after all!
I almost called in sick at work today because I was very tired this morning because last night the air ambulance woke me up and it took a while before I fell asleep again. You see, I live just 2 minutes away from the hospital where I work. So yeah, that’s the downside of living…

Move it! Move it!
Last week’s a good opportunity for me to fully recuperate from the virus and recover from the two parking tickets that I got some weeks ago, because of day offs. Then I’ve decided to be active both indoors and outdoors. Indoors is climbing/bouldering and outdoors is hiking/walks near my place. Since, the weather’s good, I…

Paint it with Magic Dust
Summer is the perfect time to be outside and do things that needed to be done when it’s warm and dry. A couple of years ago, I’ve already thought of freshing up my daughter’s playhouse because kids love to play and at the same time her playhouse needed some tlc. However, because of procrastination, the…

Ascension Day 2022
The Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ was not an excuse to just sit still and get rotten in the sofa just because it’s a holiday. It’s actually a perfect day to explore and spend time with family. Well, in my case I can’t sit still. It’s impossible when you have a little kid!…

A Short Trip to Lindås Lock (Lindåsslusene)
At first, I couldn’t understand the concept of a sea lock. I thought it’s just gates and that the purpose is to controll the boat traffic. 😛 Good thing someone explained it to me and thanks to Wikipedia I now know that a lock helps boats to pass and navigate a canal or a river…
