My First Potato Harvest! - and I painted another room green in my 100-year-old Cottage
My very first potato harvest! This was so exciting and the harvest was much larger than I anticipated! I gave my dad half of it since he eats potatos every day, which he was very happy about.
Living in a renovation caos is draining, so I finished my tiny dining room in a long weekend. The feeling of having a room done in my home was an amazing feeling and I'm very happy with the outcome! The paint color is the same as the one I have in my bedroom, but I somehow think it worked better in this room. I suppose it has something to do with the light.
In case it's confusing; this is footage from last year, September 2023.
Thank you for watching, and thank you for reading.

It felt good to get those shelves up in the kitchen in real Scandinavian design. It's like a small part of my house is (almost) officially done. Although the grass is still green and it looks almost "summer-y" outside, t...

I like old things! a couch, a car, a cottage or a house, old furniture, old fashion, old clothes, old films, old music and old nostaliga. Things were truly great before, but not necessary better.

A Once a Year Phenomenon

A once a year phenomenon in Northern Norway is; Thunderstorms, and i love it. i live in a place where thunderstorms are very rare. Why this is, i do not know. Probably due to the weather, the fjords and all the mountains. We are lucky if we get a couple or more storms every summer. If the autumn is warm, it may occur then. This weeks video is another short one, but it'll be like that sometimes....
