Day:237, Words:237

The weekend arrived as usual on Friday. Predictably, the weather has turned the corner, just as school starts and everyone is back at work. The berries are taking over the mountain, now that the reindeer have started their journey back inland. The kindergarten kids are blessed with their own stash just behind the slide. Of course sometimes, an all you can eat blueberry buffet and swings and slides can have messy results.

The Øksfjord football boys play against Hammerfest tomorrow. It is actually a mini miracle that Øksfjord can field a team, given the difficulties caused by a team made up of lads from no less than eight different towns. They travel by boat and bus to get to training, which has taken place in seven different gymnasiums. Tomorrow, the boys will travel from Nuvsvåg, Bergsfjord, Sandland, Alta, Sørvær, Breikvikbotn and Hasvik to Øksfjord to play 80 minutes of football, before returning home. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be the last year that Øksfjord can indeed field a team of 11. The immediate future looks bleak in terms of the number of boys playing football, meaning that it will be 7s football in the near future.

Due to a lack of evidence, police have been unable to solve the mystery of 'who threw a rock at Nasser's kebab van' almost a year ago. Nasser and his kebabs were a big hit during the recent Øksfjord festival.
