A note to Norway


Hilsener from Norway!
I am not actually in Norway just in case I confuse you. A wee while ago I won a prize from the lovely Stine, she is the Norwegian. I just went a bit eurovision song contest, they love that show over there.
As you can see in the photo above it is a lovely spoon. Its a teeny little salt spoon to be precise, with a traditional Norwegian pattern called Tele. The Tele part is because it is from the Telemark region of Norway. I now need to find an appropriate little dish to put it in, otherwise I may get cursed or something.

I have prepared a few words of thanks in Norwegian, hopefully I have not insulted you or your mother or your mother's brother:

Takk skal du ha til deres henrivende presangen , JEG elske den. Kanskje magic aldri spise du eller din slekt.

Mother's Got A Dot Com

But If I were to insult you I would use this joke :)
If a Norwegian with one arm is hanging by his arm from a tree branch, how do you get him out of the tree? Wave to him.

Stine is not the only Norwegian I have met in the blogworld there is also Jungl aka Thomas who has a go at taking the odd photo to support his knitting obsession. But can he knit anything like these socks that I got for christmas?
His knitting blog can be found here Musings from a male knitter and his mediocre photoblog here Photo's from Northern Norway.

Update:
Just in case you think I really meant Thomas's photos are mediocre, they are in fact fantastic and he is the best Norwegian ever! Go and see :)

Magic was not meant to eat Stine's family, it was meant to say TROLL!

I got many pairs of socks for Christmas, I love SOCKS! :)

  1. Thanks, and you're very welcome.
    You're such a language whiz, Claire...
    (What is a magic, btw, and why would it want to eat me or my family??? Bwwwwahahaha)

    Glad you liked it - I'm sure it'll come in handy when you shack up with that lovely Mountie Kai found for you a while back... (Unless something has come up during the holidays...)

  2. PS. If a Swede with two arms is hanging from a tree branch by his arms, how do you get him out of the tree? Throw a ball at him.

    Great socks! I've seen Thomas' photos, and they're magnificent. I didn't know he knits too - must go and investigate...
