It has been a grey day full of rain, but earlier when I was driving to the gym, with some nice music playing in the car, I got an even  bigger smile on my face.... The reason was this sign that I was passing.
I have not used Botox, but at the age of 29++, I guess I am at the right age, according to one of my friends...

The SALES are still on in Stavanger, - now even on BOTOX!! ;-)

So on the way back home I HAD TO  take this photo!

I hope to live the rest of my life, happy enough, without Botox!

Do you have Botox on sale where you are living?? Do you have an opinion about the chemical?

Sundays.... are very often a day for walks, and there seemed to be quite a lot of other people doing the same today.
I love walking along the beaches, - but there are also many nice places closer to the centre of Stavanger. This is near Mosvangen Camping, Rogaland Art Museum and "Mosvannet", which is a little lake.

Just before midnight and just after midnight the TWINS were born!
All well with the girls and the parents!
All the best wishes from me, aunty, and uncle, who visited them at the hospital today.

There are so many shops in and around Stavanger where you can buy handmade unique things to yourself or to anyone you want to surprise with something special.

One of my favorite places to go is to the MingarWalker glassblowing studio, south of Stavanger.


Take a look at the link.

AND WHEREVER YOU ARE, HAVE A NICE WEEKEND! :-)

"Gandsfjorden" is the name of the fjord that goes from Stavanger and 15 km. south to the town of Sandnes. On the west side there are lots of houses and the railway line for both the nearby local stations and the whole way to Oslo.

Strange summer weather, and suddenly the rainbow! :-)

There are places, mostly on the outskirts of Stavanger, where we still can buy potatoes and flowers etc. directly from the farm. I think it is nice, and also most of the time the quality is very good and the prices reasonable.

If I had had some cash on me today I would have treated myself to some nice sunflowers.
I didn't want to drop my credit card in the box :) , so no flowers for me.
The farmers trust their customers to pay for what they take when they are not there to look after whatever it is that they are selling. Customers are expected to place the money in a box that is located near to the items being sold. As I understand it, this still works quite well.

I don't know what happened here. If someone had an accident and just left their caravan, or if someone just dumped it there late one evening.... ?? It has been there for some time.
I promised my friend (ad. August 20th. ) that I would also show "the other side" of Stavanger. 
Well here is one example.  I have to say that old car wrecks and dumped washing machines etc. are not smart, environmentally friendly or a nice thing to show tourists or everyone else driving around in Norway. But these things happen all too often.

On the other hand, old wrecks sometimes provide interesting textures and colors to photograph.
