Bang Bang

This weekend, we were visiting Jens' brother, his girlfriend and her son (Gjermund, Anne-Milrid and Andreas) in Stavanger. Unfortunately, the weather turned out to be quite negatively correlated to their hospitality (as it is most of the time in Vestlandet), so we had to substitute our plans of climbing up Kjerag with something else.
On saturday we went shooting in the rain and withstood the cold wind - well, some of us did better than others ;-) And even though I am not supposed to mention it, I will mention it anyway: I did better in the shooting competition than my better half!!!! Even though it was my first time! Wow, I'm so proud of myself :-D (Just as proud as I was when I cut Jens' hair and it didn't look that bad at all). Maybe I could have made a police career after all - I always thought my eyesight would be far too bad to hit anything... But quite the opposite, in this competition, the girls were the ruling party.
After this very tough and masculine part, we spent the rest of our stay playing family games, playing with the little puppy Balder, taking him for a walk- oh yes, this was actually a very funny thing. As little Balder is still very young and in the phase were he needs to be educated, Gjermund and Anne-Milrid tried to educate him to follow us and not run off. So we spent the whole walk hiding behind bushes and trees waiting for little Balder to realize that his family had disappeared and start looking for us. I was quite impressed. Even though it sometimes took him a long time to find out we were missing, he always came back for us. Wish I would have had that kind of patience when my dog used to be that little. After some point I always went for him. Although I still think he would not at all have bothered that it was not me he was following but just some random person, as long as this random person had food everything was fine for him...
Thanks Anne-Milrid and Gjermund and Andreas for the nice stay and we will for sure come back - hopefully in nicer weather :-)
