'Lo, there do I see my father.
'Lo, there do I see My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.
'Lo, there do I see The line of my people...
Back to the beginning.
'Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them.
In the halls of Valhalla...
Where the brave...
May live...
...forever.

2011-07-03T15:10:00.002+01:00

A few years ago fishing was a hobby em Portugal. Today is not! It's all about food... Each week more and more people become unemployed, the prices are rising and the possibility of buying is going down...
Sad but it's true! Now the fishing is about food, some folks don't even have fishing tools, but though they try... !

Hello, my dear friends:)

I was "out of order" for the last few weeks for several reasons. one of them is, my wife started a Norwegian language course, and I started to learn too, and I can tell you: I love it!
The teacher is a native Norwegian, and he is a fantasticly good teacher.

I hope in some weeks I can really communicate in norsk. :)

Hi, my dear friends :)
I'm just back after a bad month, full of problems. One of them, I have a biceps strain in my right arm which has practically limited me to do all the tasks with my left hand. This is a nightmare, because I can't work, not even in computer or with my camera, and is a long way to be able to return to my gardener job :( I don't know yet if I need the surgery intervention or not, I just hope to be able to have my arm in 100% condition.
Now I can do few hours in computer and I will try to come back to blogger using oldest pictures.
I have missed all of you:)
