Day:244, Words:244

Friday in Øksfjord and the autumn weather has impressed the locals who labelled the passing summer one of the worst ever. It was warm and sunny, yet the wind played havoc with the relaxng afternoon. The usually flat lake in Vassdalen resembled the surf of California. Trampolines rattled noisliy and tents flew into the river. Hopefully the wind dies down in time for the sea kayak seminar to be held in Øksfjord over the next two days.

The local newspaper appears to have a lot of space to fill up. One report today on page four of the Altaposten informed us that police in Hammefest had received information that a drunk woman was sleeping outside of a house. When the police arrived, the woman was gone. On the same page, we read that a 50 year old woman had forgotten to use her handbrake. Her car rolled onto the grass of her neighbour.

Meanwhile in Øksfjord, there is talk of upsizing the general store. Burfjord have recently opened its new larger shop to great praise from customers. The mayor of Øksfjord suggests that his town is more than deserving of an upgraded supermarket.

One of Øksfjord's mutts is on his way to Tromsø for two competitions this weekend. Iko will be judged on the quality of his breeding, his appearance and his obedience. Over 1200 dogs from all over Norway will take part in the highly competitive shows. Remember Iko, don't bite the judge!
