daily life in Rognan

24.04.2003

we build the first left over house of rognan, just behind of the workshop, we build a kind of house, using every things laying on the beach, old woods, iron plate, plastic covers... ugly!
but able to keep us dry and away from the wind, our sheep skins and our sleeping bags are really managing to keep us warm even its freezing outside...
noi the eastewrn holidays are over and at 8 in the morning the machines begin to run just behind our beds so it s time for us to wake up, start the fire, boil some water and have some toast.
after that quuiet breakfast, we put on the ``oiling suits`` witch are so smelly that we can find them even in the dark and add some more oil on our ship...today was number 13 and still seven layers...
when we are not oiling, francois do a scabbard for his sword, a hand crafted one whit a viking drawing and i do some other littles things, i found in a dead house a box who after some restaur became our food trunk and a chain to hang our caldron over the fire...
when a litttle wind come we drop every thing a jump into swen`s ship and sail some hours.
from the swenĂ dvice we were able to catch a ``torsk fisk`` a fish whitch was able to feed us for a long day. it\s not easy to cut it`s neck...
saturday would be our first day of playing some music in the rognan`s streets cause there is no one other days...
we hope peopple would have read the newspaper before and know a bit better who are those strange hairy guys allway dress like vikings at day and night walking in the streets and going in one of the two pubs to have tea and read there books in the evening. we have beeen filmed by a freelance cameraman who is filming our day life a bit like wild life documentaries... music playing, camp life and sailing...
