We started Mikkel’s birthday with a big sausage. When everyone was dressed and ready we went into town to the Science Centre (a favourite of Mikkel’s) which was full of damp families avoiding the Trondheim summer. Later on back at home we had a (small) birthday celebration with Roar and Marit. Pappa made lasagne, Mamma made cake, Ronja made muffins. Lots of family people (+ Åsmund) called to talk with Mikkel. Later on Mikkel got to try out some new PlayStation games and relax with a bit of tv.

Fishing trip to lade, absolutely no fish, but a lot of weather! On the way home we found a small Mexican guy in nille.

Had to quickly see Kaja (and the gang) before they go on holiday tomorrow.

Since grandad and grandma Chris couldn’t make it we decided to go to the cottage for a couple of days. First the weather was gidd, then bad, then really shitty. Then we went home!

Mikkel designed and partly painted. Pappa sorted the wheels and oiled. All good!

Yesterday we cut grass and worked in the garden. We also had homemade gnocchi and weed-pesto for dinner.

Today it is raining so we’ve been to see ‘Thor, love and Thunder” at the cinema. Pretty good. Maybe top 10 but not top 5. Some thought!

We went to Sletteløkka for Great Grand Leivs birthday. He served cinnamon buns and strawberries. Ronja did a bit of juggling and got stung by a bee. The train ride home was really long, some of us thought. Some of us thought it was only a couple of hours longer than getting the plane, and was happy we weren’t on the carriage with all the interrailers!
