A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because

Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

*Sleeping* 18 *Wind*

Awarm wind. I'm sleepy since i've had almost no sleep in over two days.

Safely in Lisbon, Portugal.

I'll need to blog over what transpired this past week and what my plans now are.

Great talk with Andrea from Sighisoara, Romania.

Exhausted. Too a nap at 6-ish, up at 11, back in bed after midnight. Slept okay.

*Smile* 19 *Sun*

Nice surprise call from Brian in Costa Rica.

Sharon finished her youtube of my poem.



Autumn Lullaby   (18+)
Sing to me sweetly; the year slowly dies as fog turns to white while I sit here and cry
#2261174 by Kåre Enga in Montana


Great time with Tyla and Zak from New Zealand.

Great morning chat with Guido from Groningen.

Ate sushi for supper.

*Smile* 20 *Sun*

Did nothing yesterday. May do something today.

Slept okay but after breakfast I'm a bit fatigued. We shall see. I'm not really here to DO anything.

Breakfast is typical: ham, cheese, croissant or bread, coffee with hot milk, sumo de laranja. But I added cocoa flakes with honey and hot milk.

Lay down for 3 hours. Still fuzzy-headed with no energy.

Bought postcards. Short walk.

*Smile* 21 *DropB*

Hot milk to warm the honey drippled on cocoa corn flakes, a banana from Costa Rica, a pear (from who knows where), the smile of Lourdes greeting everyone, her soft Brazilian voice sweetly singing "Killing me softly". I've met many young people from around the world. Today: Zoia from Russia, Hermione from Yorkshire. Guido from Groningen, Tyla and Zak from Hawkes Bay (NewZealand), Felix, a happy Swede from Goteborg, Andrea from Sighisoara; her friend from Sofia, Bulgaria. This is my element.

I told Rosemary re open the gasline, close the borders: "Nope. I'm a globalist. I'm in Portugal in a hostel with folks from Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Sweden, NewZealand... I am not afraid of refugees nor migrants. My ancesters lived elsewhere 200 years ago. Solar, wind, water, thermal power is the future. At 70 years old I do not live in the past. (I visit the Past, but I don't live there.)"

Met a Manx man from Isle of Man.

*Meh* 22 *Lightning3*

Met interesting young people from Turku, Finland. I asked them about NATO and Ukraine.

Morning thunder. Heavy rain. Storm warnings due to waves on the coast and snow in the mountains.

I have NO energy.

Ate a bifana and a pastel de bacalhau e queijo. Walk back was long and arduous.

Have a bus ticket. Eva-mundial. 15 euros Lisboa-Lagos. I leave noonish so I don't have to stress in the morning. *Smile*

*Car* 23 *Sun*

Goodbye breakfast. Spoke briefly with Felix Lissaker.

A bit hectic getting to the bus station as information was incorrect. Woman helped me. Half empty, seat by widows and toilet.

Pleasant ride. One stop to eat-n-pee. Bought a 500ml coke for 3 euros. Expensive.

Timo (Dortmund) was working reception. And Ana (Toronto) whose roots are Serbian.

They were forewarned that I was coming. *Ha*

Bed... same as previous trip (the first one I believe).

No octopus or squid salad; so, I got grilled sardines (7), potato, salad. 10 euros.

Didn't feel well so I lay down.

Disturbed by people with flashlights... in my eyes. Up 3, 4 times during 'rest'.

*Facepalm* 24 *Sun*

No shutting me up. Wonderful chats with Evelyn(a) from Germany/Poland and Shefali from New Delhi. Talked w/ Evelyn about strict families and how bosses can kill (she quit hers); she worked in cosmetics. Shefali is multilingual and works with cultural issues; we chatted about Thai movies, Bollywood.

Went to Pingo Doce and bought bread, pork 'ravioli', chocolate-cream roll. Worn out just walking there. Set down on way back. It's not far.

Family dinner tonight. I'm not up for it.

Saw Ourso. He's 14 years old. He's abig black bear-rug. Bearnese?

I lay down in the evening but got up at 9:30 or so to jion them. Evelyn put a blanket aroud me like a red cape. She also gave me chocolate as a birthday present. Bed after midnight.
