After 40 years, a new era came to our cabin today. It started last spring, when Terje started to talk about getting electricity. My first reaction was no! NO! The cabin has always been without electricity and shall always remain so. But as the idea ripened in my mind I started to think about all the advantages. Like having enough light to be able to read during the dark nights. Like being able to recharge my computer. Like having an oven for bread baking. Well, long story made short.....I ended up wanting to go for electricity. Terje started the process, meeting delay after delay, but finally, the electrician called last week to tell that we were finally there......almost.
Terje and I were both able to take a day off, and yesterday after work we drove the two hours out to our dear cabin. The light was still not there, so we filled the cabin with burning candles.....wondering how the new era will change cabin life.
This morning I woke early, the world was still completely dark. I went outdoors and stood for a long while under the dark sky with a million stars. Then I went in and lit all the candles from last night, this time for the breakfast table.
The sun rose, and we started to work. To give the electrician space we did put all the funiture, all books and everything on the floor in the middle of the livingroom. Now it was time to get the cabin back into its old self.
A few hours later we were connected.......
.......and Terje started his celebration. To vacuum clean :-)
