Day:226, Words:226

There are two major events on the Øksfjordian calandar this week. The Øksfjord festival kicks off tomorrow and will keep the locals well entertained and well fed. The other event is the wedding of the year. A member of one of Øksfjord's largest families will tie the knot on Saturday afternoon, followed by a dinner and party, to which a large chunk of the town's population is invited to.

It was another warm one today as the sun made a mockery of the weather forecast. T-shirts were again discarded as the summer flickers briefly before the autumnn chill. Within the valley of Vassdalen, the afternoons of sitting on the verandah are numbered. Due to the massive nuisance of a mountain, the sun disappears in the afternoon, a lot earlier than it does for those living outside of the valley.

There has been some controversial adjustments to the town's natural look. The owner of the 'Kroa'' pub took some intiative and cleared an area of trees, giving his patrons a better view of the fjord. The trees in question however were actually on the property of the neighbour, who apparently was less than impressed by the sudden lack of privacy. To make matters worse, the house had just been sold to a young family, that had considered the trees a pleasant buffer from the local waterng hole.
