kareinaI am really enjoying Nick and Jess's visit. I had never met her before, but Nick and I were good friends when I lived in Tassie, so I was not at all surprised to find that his wife is also delightful company. I feel like they are both "Kindred spirits".
Yesterday we spent much of the day cooking. We turned the left over moose spaghetti sauce that David had made into filling for a bread rolls (by adding yet more veg and some haloumi), and a pot of soup that we packed into thermoses for today. This morning we picked up Villiam, and the four of us went off to Storforsen, where the water is even higher than normal Mid-summer high levels, since the snow melt was supplemented by lots of heavy rain yesterday. They met through a rafting club, and were both fascinated by the rapids, which they pronounced faster and more dangerous than they would be willing to try. After they had a chance to take lots of photos of the rapids as we worked our way downstream we then moved inland a bit and wandered around the rocks, needing to take the many small bridges provided, as the extra streams were all quite full.
We stopped for lunch near the canyon, were I was amused that the rock shelf that is normally available as a "beach" by the swimming hole in the canyon is currently under a good 30 cm of water. Then we wandered around a bit more before returning home, where Villiam taught them some simple juggling, and we showed them some acroyoga and had them try a bit. Much fun. Then David did some archery with them before we went to the store so they could by some supplies for the road, and we returned Villiam to his home. A few more hours of chatting and they wisely went to bed early.
I stayed up talking with David, and then spent time typing up the steps to the dance they enjoyed from our performance that they want to take back to Tassie with them, and then, instead of doing yoga and going to bed when I realised it was after midnight, I read some posts on FB and caught up on DW. Now I really should do that yoga and go to bed, I am supposed to work tomorrow...
