This weekend we went to the Tons of Rock festival in Halden, Norway.
It is our 4th year out of 5 years the festival has been held. We did not go last year, but I hope we can continue going every year, as it is a awesome festival. The venue is really beautiful, at the old fortress of Fredriksten festning, overlooking the city of Halden. This year there was not to many bands we were super fan of, but as our friends were going, we decided to tag along, as we had our holiday anyway.
The food court was delicious this time, a lot of different nummys to choose from, and they also had a nice selection of wine, beer and also ready made cocktails!
The weather was not that good, as we have been having insane warm and dry weather all may into june, but now suddenly its cold and wet. It rained a lot the second day, but other than that it was fine. I got to use my long wool cape, so I was warm and cosy when outside, and we had a camper with heating so we were fine inside also!
Here is a vlog I put together from the trip, enjoy!
It has been two years today! Our medieval/fantasy/fairy tale wedding, two years after my honey proposed. I did all the planning, I sowed the shirt my man wore under the armor, I designed the shield-maiden of honor outfit, the look of decorations, everything. And it turned out to be the wedding of my dreams. It was just so fun and lovely, everyone attending had an awesome time.
Ok, so I dont have much skills with editing videos. I really would like to make a fantastic video from the wedding, but I have tried so many times.. So now I just used the editing software that comes with windows 10 and I think it turned out great. So I hope you enjoy it!
I love cats! I have always loved cats.
I also loves dogs though, and animals in general. I grew up with
cats, dogs, and birds, I have owned rats (but became allergic..) and
when I bought my apartment in 2005, I got my first cat that was
entirely my own. Tigris is her name, but we often call her “Tigern”
witch means “the Tiger”, and that is of course because of her
beautiful colours. She has a special type of fur that is really thick
and soft, and people that are allergic to cats tell me that they
react less to her than to other cats. I do not know exactly when she
was born, cause she was born in a barn on a farm. But suddenly the
farmer could not find the kittens, and he thought they all had been
killed by a fox or a territorial male cat. Then after a few weeks, he
found Tigris walking around in the yard, she was a lone survivor, and
he took her in and fed her cat-formula, and when she was big enough
(about 5 weeks) I went to pick her up. She adored me right away by
not being afraid at all, and started playing with my feet after a few
minutes. The Tiger is a suitable name not only because of her
colours, she is a feisty and fun cat. I held her in my arms, and she
almost went right to sleep, she had my heart from then on.
Little Tigris when I got her.
She was so tiny!
She likes to play.
And then, in the summer of 2007, she
was away from home for a few days. I got worried, cause she usually
comes home at least every other day. But after three and a half day,
she got home, and I was so happy. After a few weeks, we could see why
she had been so long away from home, she had gotten herself
pregnant!! This is perfect, because I wanted her to have a litter
before I had to sterilize her. And I had friends and family lined up
ready to adopt. She had four little kittens, three male and one
female. The female (Nala) and the male (Mowgli) had short fur with
blended colours, the last males (Anubis and Buster Phus) had long,
thick fur. Anubis was black and dark brown (only visible in direct
sunlight) and Buster had a darker, but similar colours to Tigris.
They were all healthy and sweet, and my brother and his girlfriend
adopted Nala, my good friend Heidi adopted Mowgli, and my other
friend Heidi adopted Buster. Anubis I had to keep for myself, cause
he had been injured when he still was young (the vet guessed it was
Tigris when she tried to lift him), and he got a wound on his
shoulder. We went to the wet, who stitched it, and gave me
instructions to care for it. I had to rinse it a few times a day, and
Anubis was not as active and a bit sleepy. I was really afraid that
he was going to die, but after taking good care of him, he became
active and vibrant again. And I had fallen in love with him, and I
could not bear to part with him. So that’s the story of how I got
Anubis.
Tigris with her litter, can you spot the four kittens?
Anubis and Mowgli
Anubis is still a kitten, and cuddles with his mother in the window.
Adorable Anubis!
This is taken at the same time as the other, he just looks bigger face on.
Tigris is really photogenic!
Anubis has the same thick and soft fur
like his mother, only much longer! And he has a mane like a tiger!
The fur is so incredible nice to feel, I just want to bury my face in
it. But, after Tigris had all the kittens, I got allergic, and I had
to restrict how much contact I had with them. That means they are not
allowed in the bedroom (this is really sad to me, cause Tigris always
lay down on my chest and purrs when I go to sleep, and that made me
go to sleep), and I have to try not getting cat hair into my eyes.
But I still cuddle with them, and they lie on me and everything,
cause I will never abandon my cats. If I have to take a pill every
day to get to have them, then so be it!
Anubis has started to mimic this, nice and cozy!
Tigris loves being near us, preferably on top!
I live on the first floor of my
building, so I have a cat-flap in the balcony door, and they can
easily jump up and down from my balcony to the ground. My cats can
come and go as they wish. In the winter, they stay mostly inside, and
Tigris is a really indoor cat. She can go outside for short
excursions to look at the scenery from our balcony, but mostly she
stays inside. Anubis is more outside, and when he comes home, he
usually mjaus loud and nagging to tell us that he is home. Anubis
really loves mjauing. Unlike Tigris, witch is quite silent, and if
she mjaus, it is more like a squeak. It is really adorable. My cats
are really nice tempered and have never been aggressive against me or
anyone else. They are wary of strangers, but I take that as a good
sign. I don’t want them to run up to strangers outside, who knows
what kind of crazy people there can be.
I will be the first to admit, yes, I am a youtube-aholic.. I
really enjoy watching all the entertaining, funny, strange and
educational videos you can find there. I subscribe to some of my
favourite channels, and I will give you some tips to great
youtube-videos.
