Day:261, Words:261

The young ones had their last football training of the year before the final tournament of the year in Alta on Saturday. The FD cup is usually played in the first weekend of September. For some reason, it was put back to a more unstable positition in the calendar, weather wise. Their is already a smattering of snow on the mountain peaks and the temperatures are stuck in the single digit zone.

Earlier in the day, a concert with a difference took place in the gymnasium at the school. Two young tall lasses from down south early this morning armed with a hundred odd wine glasses. By 11am, the talented duo were drawing gasps of admiration from the young audience as they produced some stunning music, using only the glasses, water and their nifty handwork. They played football tunes, film music, pop tunes and even some well known video game soundtracks. They tapped their feet, hummed and harmonized and spoke in soft voices as they answered questions from the impressed children. It was if Øksfjord had been paid a visit from two magical fairies dressed in disguise to appear as normal people.

The other major event to occur today was the addition of hundreds of plastic red sticks all over the town. They look quite silly at the moment sitting alone on the side of the road with seemingly no important purpose. However when the snow storms begin to become more frequent and the road becomes smaller, the plastic red sticks help to guide the way to the safety of home.
