Cold...

...But Also Warm

I woke up this morning my house was cold and my fridge was warm. Also there is a truck parked in my driveway and it's apparently normal since they are working on the electricity just outside the house.

Notice? what for? Who needs hot water for shower or a cup of tea in the morning?*

The truck parked in my driveway is another story. Since our house is at a dead end we often see cars driving up to our driveway, making a U-turn and going back down the hill. It reminds me of something I read a few weeks ago about the right to roam which has survived in perhaps its purest form in Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Everyone in Norway enjoys the right of access to, and passage through, uncultivated land in the countryside. The right is an old consuetudinary law called the allemannsrett (lit. all men's right), that was codified in 1957 with the implementation of the Outdoor Recreation Act. It is based on respect for the countryside, and all visitors are expected to show consideration for farmers and landowners, other users and the environment. In Norway the terms utmark and innmark divide areas where the right is valid and where it is not. The law specifies innmark thoroughly, and all areas not covered by this definition are defined as utmark, generally speaking uninhabited and uncultivated areas. Cultivated land may only be walked on when it is frozen and covered in snow.[…]

Canoeing, kayaking, rowing and sailing in rivers, lakes, and ocean are allowed. Motorised boats are only permitted in salt water. All waters are open for swimming - with the exception for lakes that are drinking water supplies

Hunting rights belong to the landowner, and thus hunting is not included in the right of free access. In freshwater areas such as rivers and lakes, the fishing rights belong to the landowner. Regardless of who owns the land, fresh water fishing activities may only be conducted with the permission of the landowner or by those in possession of a fishing licence. In salt water areas there is free access to sports fishing using boats or from the shoreline. All fishing is subject to legislation to among other things protect biological diversity, and this legislation stipulates rules regarding the use of gear, seasons, bag or size limits and more.

* They were indeed working on the ELECTRICITY and not the WATER… I need electricity to warm the water of my shower and my tea. After I reread my sentence it kinda didn’t make sense but it does… just clarifying before you leave a comment!!!
