 Summer holiday 2010:
Anyone claiming that there are a lot of interesting things in Europe?
For once we took our car on a trip to the south. The car's never had it
this hot, poor thing.
We did everything from visiting coffee shops in Amsterdam
(moahaha), walking on the dikes, sweating to death, watch the view from
the Eiffel tower, bathing, eating a lot of good food all the way to
reading and walking.
We WILL publish more photos and stories after we have been going
through the diary and the photos, more than 1000.

Kristopher Schau has written a book about funerals where nobody attend.
There's many possible reasons for that to happen. Read more about one of the
instances.

At last!! Holiday
letters from
Wales
Sometimes things just has to take a long time to be done... But in the
end there is something coming. The family Haugnes & Burud had a
fantastic holiday in Wales in 2008. A diary was written, 1000 pictures
taken and webpages planned. Now
it's
only nine - 9 - months since we came home, and at last the pages are
coming. The picture is the signboard on the railway station in the
village with the world's longest name. Click on the picture and you'll
get the signboard over the nearby shop, with translation to English.

may use the picture if identified.

 Arild
is traveling
My darling has been to Toulouse, in the middle of France. There he took
some pictures that put together become a sort of panorama. It is a
bit
lopsided, but charming.

 The fourth Norwegian meeting for
Archive and Record Keeping
Bergen had the honor to host the fourth ...... The conference is from
April 20. - 22.
2009. The main topic this time is how to access all the records that
archives and record offices contains. And how to let people know what
they can ask for. This time I can't participate. At the last meeting I
presented a paper about the situation of the daily record keepers and
how they are met at work. Here's the paper,
in Norwegian only .

Home and all is well
 It's
been months since we came back to Kolbotn. Life has in no way been
slow. I have a new job, two of the kids play handball with matches
every weekend, the optimist (me) said yes to be the parent-teacher
association representative for the two oldest children, but a
picture has been taken.

Robert Jordan is dead
Robert Jordan died in
September. He is the writer of the fantasy series Wheel of
Time. The series is missing the last book. It seems like Brandon
Sanderson has got the honor.

 We're leaving home to get home, now!
This year has gone by way to fast. We're already leaving home
in Akkarvik to go home to Kolbotn. It's a comfort to know that our
house is standing here, waiting for us to come back anytime. There are
such things as autumn hunting and winter hunting, easter holiday,
summer holiday and so on. The last letter from this year is here and a letter of
thanks here. Later,
maybe there will be a homecoming letter, if the trip south is as full
of
adventures as the trip north.

We want to get rid of the ferry
It has nothing to do with the crew. They are very nice people.
It's because this island has an expanded business, which is held back
because the ferries don't have capacity for the big trucks and a very
limited schedule. More here: www.akkarvik.no

About Haugnes , my name
 On the
island Arnøya in northern Norway, there is a place named
Haugnes. Both
my mother's mother and father's father where born here.
The story say that my granddad,
Kornelius Johansen, was fed up being mixed with a another man with the
same name when he lived in Honningsvåg. So he took the as
surname the name of the place he was born. I have kept Haugnes
through more than twenty years of marriage.
In 2005 some archaeologist was
digging near Haugnesodden.
