I just want to show you the program from "Rått og Råde" a festival with live music, that took place last Thursday- Friday and Saturday evening.

If you click on the http://www.rxr.no and then on "program" you will see that there was a huge variety of music for both young and those not sooooo young. What type of music do YOU like??

Out shopping,- when the SALES were on. Suddenly I saw my city differently through a window I had not noticed before.... It does not look that different from other cities I think....

Perhaps we have more houses made of brick than I was aware of?

A few weeks back my husband and I walked up to Dalsnuten. A mountain with a fantastic view over Sandnes and Stavanger. On the way up we met Eric from Minnesota, his sister in law from the Netherlands, together with the two dogs.

They were some of the many people out for a walk in the nice weather. I know that Eric was going to become a dad very soon, and aunty, who also was the sporty type, might still be around in Stavanger to greet the new family member. (I sometimes find it difficult to just put out one photo..... and my archive has photos waiting to be put out....sorry about that.)

Anyway, congratulations to the family! And I hope all is well with the international family!

Ozzy is in Stavanger!:)

A-HA is the name of Norway's most famous rock/pop band!

Have a nice weekend!

We have SUNSHINE, and it feels good!:)

"Open Air Market" is the Theme Day subject for September.

We used to have a busy market near the harbor, but it has been moved up to the area in front of the Cathedral. The old place is mainly empty and filled with imported mass produced items, a bit like "plastic-fantastic", fake football t-shirts and sun-glasses.

I had wished it would have been a place to sell local handcrafts -handmade products by local people.

According to the text on the van: Irene is selling good Norwegian products, and you will even receive a big SMILE if you buy from her....

I do like the place, but I still think the old market was better.

Anyway, there are nice flowers and good products, but I guess most people buy most of these products from their local shops.
