Day:169, Words:169

Maybe the Oslo newspapers do know what they are talking about all. Surely I am not alone in believing that the weather forecasts for the north of Norway are based on a procedure involving pictures of various conditions and a man with a dart. In fact, if I was to be honest, I am not even sure the meteorologists could even correctly predict the weather the day after it had occurred.

It really was a day out of the box. At long last the mercury headed up towards 20 degrees and for some, this meant tops off! A family day organised to promote the new checkpoint on the mountain, could not have been planned better. Fresh mountain water and soda replaced coffee and hot chocolate as children, parents and dogs soaked up the sun in the Fruvik valley.

For those who prefer not to orange themselves with the tan in the can, the warm days are providing some timely colour just prior to the mass holiday emmigration down south.
