Crowded.

Sometimes it is quite crowded at the harbour.
Another nice hot day today.

American cars cruising around near the harbour area, a few days back when the sun was shining.

Today we have plenty of rain.

A good day to be lazy, also a public holiday ( the Ascension day) and lots of people have made it in to a long weekend by taking Friday off work.

Enjoy your day wherever you are.

Where is the spring?

Some parking places are worse than others.
This is one I don't like.

Rainy weekend!

Rainy cold weekend here.

Today the schools winter holiday week started.
There will be less traffic on the roads next week.
A quiet week ahead since lots of families are going away for a week or two.

Nearly an accident today!

The last day of the year could have ended with a bang or two or three...

On the busiest road in Stavanger, an elderly man in his 80's made a wrong turn that gave those of us who witnessed it a chance to test out our brakes.

Luckily nobody was injured!

I hope everyone will have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and that you celebrate just the way you want.

Have FUN and ALL GOOD WISHES for 2018!

MISS B.

For some time now we have had the chance to buy personalised number plates.
I have seen a few when I have been out driving, but I promised to take a photo if I saw one, and here it is.
The smiling man driving told me that MISS B was his wife and singer in the band "Miss B and the bluecats."

Here is the car!
And here is some music and info.
ENJOY!

Touring Europe.

As most of you know, we have some very narrow roads here in Norway.
This is the biggest RV I have seen this summer. The Canadian couple who owned it had the car towed behind it. Inside they had a boat.... And they were heading to the Stavanger region, so drive carefully if you meet them. It is huge!

PS. I did not tell them about all the roadworks, nor about the fact that Stavanger is the Norwegian city with most roundabouts.

I hope they have a great time and that they will see lots of sunny days too.

New and old.

In Stavanger we have a mixture of new and old building styles.
This is an image taken during the event FJORDSTEAM when the Maritime Museum had some old/vintage cars parked outside.

Summer & rain.

Ice cream.

Today it was sunny and slightly warmer, so a bit warmer now, and I am ready for my favourite ice lolly.

In Norwegian Is = ice-cream.

SUMMER is here.

It is the first day in June.
The sun is shining, and l hope we will have a nice long sunny summer!
This cute car reminds me of  summer days.
It was parked outside "Straensenteret".

I will be pleased if someone can translate the text in the window.

Drive carefully.

Well done, to the person who came up with the idea to paint the boring parking area, and to add a warning written in dialect, saying that we have to be aware of all the cars so we don't bang in to them.
Too many car parks looks so depressing and dark, so this is a nice change.

E-type Jaguar.

This is just a snapshot taken on the E39, heading north, close to the junction to Kvadrat/Sandnes.
It was a beauty out on the road. "I am pretty sure it is an E-type Jaguar" my husband said.
Perhaps he is right. One thing is for sure, now is the time to get them out on the road.... no rain the next few days.

Car accident.

Car accident late this afternoon....
Only one person involved, but the car did not look good,- even worse on the other side, with a barrier straight through the car!
