The Øksfjordians youngsters, caked in black gunk from the rubberised playing surface played their last game of the football tournament. They won some, lost and drew others, but most importantly, they left with lessons about sportsmanship, respect and not least football.

Øksfjord is once again under attack from hundreds of wild beasts, terrorizing residents and destroying property. The age old reindeer debate has fired up once more after a resident lost all of her homegrown strawberries after a midnight raid from a gang of over 50.

 

Gardening has a short and sweet season up here and many take pride in their manicured lawns and rows of colourful plantlife. Strawberries have a taste and freshness that is unique to these parts, due to the rapid rate of growth resulting from the 24 hour sunlight. Any theft of such a delicacy is treated very seriously. Ropes, scarecrow like features and shredded rubbish bags have been used in an attempt to distract the wandeing rascals, but to no avail.

 

Personally, they are welcome to chew my grass anytime they wish.
