Ice fishing & Friluftsbarnehagen & ! ! ! ! !

A couple of months ago;
My friend: ''...., we went for ice-fishing in Roros! It was so nice!''
Me: ''Oh my God! Ice-fishing?? Really?? You're crazy!!!''

Oh well, as if it was the first time I said it here or the first time that I said it and soon after I tried it myself !! :) I'm so unreliable... :P

So there I was on a frozen lake with great people, lighting a fire on ice (!! yes, to my surprise this is actually possible!!!), opening holes with a drill almost of my height and waiting to fool some fishes!! In total having excellent time!

In greek we have a saying when we want to say that we did nothing useful or important that goes like 'I made a hole on the water'. Since ice-fishing I know first hand why Norwegians would never come up with such a phrase!!! Pretty demanding thing to do!







We caught 4 or 5 fishes but after some point I was too busy skiing that I stopped taking photos!!!
Yes, yes skiing, ME, skiing!! & Did I stress it enough?? ME SKIING!!!  

Recently it happened to me  my mouth to spell 'the magic' words; 

'What? You applied for friluftsbarnehagen?? You're are crazy!!' 

Definition of friluftsbarnehagen; An open air preschool!! Tobbles spending almost the whole day outdoors in a place that the mean winter temperature is -10C or even less! Yes,to everyone's surprise  that thing exists in Norway!! It's popular, too!!!

Well, well....
My poor future kids, I have news for you!
First of all I'm sorry but I'm very afraid you most probably are going to attend one!!!!!!! Good luck with that!!

Cheers to that!! :D

Seriously?

Even if I find it hilarious, it feels absurd.
