'The ship that went just as well on land as on water'... an illustration by Theodor Kittelson for the Norwegian folk tale, 'The Ash Lad and the Good Helpers'. It comes from a rather lovely anthology of such tales published in 1960.

Here’s one for our #norwegian cousins: Finland’s state flags are at half mast today in remembrance of your King Harald. Even where I work!
Condolences! Even though I’m as republican as they come, seems like he was a decent fellow. -

Babette’s Feast and Other Stories, by Isak Dinesen [Karen Blixen]
I have a great fondness for Isak Dinesen's strange and Scandinavian short stories. Five years ago I described her Seven Gothic Tales (1934) as 'Rather long, but astoundingly inventive, and ought to be well known in fantasy circles since they predate most modern fantasy writing'. I found this Penguin Modern Classics edition of Babette's Feast and Other Stories in the charity bookshop my husband works in, and I gobbled it in two nights. Like PMC edition of Seven Gothic Tales this is a […]https://katemacdonald.net/2026/09/06/babettes-feast-and-other-stories-by-isak-dinesen-karen-blixen/

When Petter discovered “Ada & #Zangemann”, he immediately felt the urge to make sure the story was available to the #Norwegian speakers. Now “Ada og Zangemann - En fortelling om programvare, rullebrett og bringebæris” has been published and was presented during the Norwegian local celebrations of #ilovefs.
Read Petter’s story and if you like what he did, join me in a round of applause for Petter 👏👏 👏 👏 https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260302-01.en.html

I've promised to myself - and others - that one day I'd write a novel about "The Family".
It would be a work of fiction based off real life and it would be about a loose knit community in #Bergen #Norway, comprised of #hipsters, #hippies, #newagers and #ravers.
They have cost the #Norwegian #welfare system millions - and don't even know it.
I'm not sure if I'm at a point in my life now where I can write about them, but I will be employing my inner #huntersthompson and #williamburroughs.

CW: Comic strip for Pondus that mentions Bodø
Frame 1
Pondus and his son Påsan are watching TV.
Presenter's voice from the TV: "Ok, Inger-Merethe! For 5000 and a canary bird! Where can you find the Norwegian Aviation Museum?"Pondus: "Namsos!"
Candidate's voice from TV: "Eh..."
Frame 2:
Same setting, but now Pondus looks annoyed.
Pondus: "Hallo! Namsos!"
Candidate on TV: "Eh..."
Frame 3:
Pondus now is poking a finger at his temple, while looking more disgruntled.
Candidate: "Eh.. Bodø?"
Pondus: "NAMSOS, you breadbox!"
Presenter: "CORRECT!"
Frame 4:
Pondus looks taken back.
Pondus: "... Or Bodø! About the same area!"
Påsan: "By plane!"
Presenter: "Okay! For 10.000 and a soda machine..."
Påsan: "You'll get this one!"
Apocrypha
To be fair, Pondus probably is confused because the Namsos control tower (which AFAIK was the first one in Norway?) was moved to the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodø around the year 2000. ;)
