Not 50

Not 50 - one thing I have not figured out yet is speed limit signs. It is common to show what the speed limit is not rather than what the speed limit is. For example, if you are leaving one zone, it might have a 50 with lines through it. Which means literally not 50. But if it is not 50, what is it? There is a system that everyone who lives here knows, but I have not yet figured it out. I guess most country roads are 80, so if it reads not 50, you can now go 80. But if it reads not 40, it might be 60. Hmm...

Summer - when it is sunny and warm in Norway, there is no better place to be! Everything is so vivid and picturesque. Every view is like a postcard, and better. That's why there is an expression "don't sleep the summer day away." It does not last long, but every day should be fully enjoyed. So, now that it is sunny and gorgeous outside, I can't be sitting here writing!
