Day:322, Words:322

From all reports, the Friday night drink experiment went fairly well last night. The small venue was packed and a pleasant social drinking atmosphere was enjoyed by all in attendance. Hopefully, the word catches on that a social drink can be enjoyed by friends and collegues without the need to end up destroying yourself with vodka shots.

Our beagle escaped again today. As the reindeers have now moved inland for the winter, it is safe to let him loose for a little run. Of course, our trusty and loyal dog caught on to a scent from another dog and was off like a shot, a sniffing machine all the way up the mountain following the tracks of a terrier on a hunting trip with his owner.

After a couple of hours, the new kanine friends returned down from the mountain together. According to the hunter, our beagle had been some sort of an apprentice, learning the tricks of the hunting trade as they sought out the grouse that live in the surrounding mountains.

As the beagle slept off his adventures, the rest of the family hit the local cafe for a coffee and a waffel. The 'Dattera til Larson' cafe was warm as toast once again, pretty good insulation for an old garage, that was once a sporting goods store. The venue is sure to get a good workout over the coming weeks as the Christmas party season gets underway. Most businesses around the country will organise some dort of festive get together before Christmas. These events are usually a traditional affair full of singing, presents and cognac.

Work is underway in the old Mix kiosk building. The post office has been reduced to a tiny corner of the shop and the opportunity to post or receive a package has been cut as the opening hours are just a small window in the afternoons and a couple of hours on Saturday morning.
