Høstjakta er i gang!

Making up for lost time. Here comes more from us. Make sure you catch the entry below though, since I made two entries today for October 13th.

Commute - funny that Nils works at a place that is about 45 minutes from where we live. I work at a place that is the opposite direction (toward the City) about 10 minutes from where we live. But, with traffic heading into Oslo, it ends up taking us both 45 minutes to get to work!

Høstjakta - I heard this a lot as soon as Summer was over. It means Fall Hunt, which in Norway means lots of things. First and foremost, it means going out in nature and hunting. Moose is the big target. It has come to mean other things too (as far as I have concluded from asking around). It is used a lot in marketing, for example. Stores advertise that it is Høstjakta! There are discounts and special seasonal clothes and things on sale. Then, at work we have Høstjakta too. I am not sure what the work context is. Maybe just that it is that time of year to have a new focus, or to have a Fall party! And 'høstjakta er i gang!' means that the fall hunt is underway.
