Nordvärmlands FF - Vänersborg FK 2-3 (1-0)

Nordvärmland tappade en 2-0 ledning till en 2-3 förlust i den viktiga sexpoängsmatchen mot Vänersborgs FK! Det skulle bli en väldigt händelserik match idag på Nyvallen som fick en väldigt dramatiskt avslut! Vänersborg fick en hörna i den 2:a minuten, det blev en variant men Nordvärmland var med på noterna och kunde täcka ut till en ny hörna. I den 7:e minuten slog slog Joel en fin boll ut till…

In the 1600s to 1800s, the poorest of the poor in Sweden would live in backstugor (slope cottages). These were built on unusable land, often built into hillsides or rocky areas. The people living there didn't lease nor own the land, and only owned the building in itself. Often most of the inside area of the cottage would be used for crafting equipment such as a loom.

This triangular model is a light-filled house with a wood-burning stove and solar panels attached to its slanted roof. Intended for energy production in both winter and summer, the two sources are robust enough to heat the water and provide electricity. For added assurance, the home contains another power source in case of extreme weather.

An on-site well also pumps drinking water, with any waste directed to the flower beds for filtering. These raised gardens line the perimeter of the first floor and are large enough to grow fruits and vegetables.

I found a book of bread recipes today and apart from many breads I'm drooling over, it also has an entire chapter on skådebröd (usually translated as showbread but not the same thing as the Jewish variety) - a bread in Swedish tradition that's primarily thought of as decorative.

Some skådebröd would also be eaten, like the såkaka (sowing cake) that was baked around Christmas and used to decorate the Christmas table. In some regions it was crumbled up and sown with the year's grain come spring, and in others it was eaten by the sowers and their horses to bring luck to that year's harvest.

Here are some of my favourite skådebröd from the book:

And I had to share this preserved såkaka from Vänersborgs museum (they have plaster casts of a few others as well but this seems to be the bread itself):

A stone tool based society need to make ALOT of stone tools because when they break one (almost) always need to make an entire new tool

Compared to metal tools which one often melt down and remake. This ALSO means that there are less "thrown away" broken metal tools than stone tools

Anyway the archeological result of this is that the stone tool based epochs of swedens pre-history is just.

Drowning in stone tools, and the left overs from making the tools and etc

As an exemple, here pictured: many rocks found in archeological digs which have traces of human usage, not yet proper archived by archeologist:

Later at the very same musuems collection, the archeologist appear to have sat down and tried to organize all these darn stone age rocks. Pictured below:

Now digitalt musuem were i got these pictures do not SAY that this is what happened, but first pic got "rocks of unknown type and heritage" as description

But the rest of the photos got all the pictured rocks identified with what type of tool they are, from were etc

So reading between the lines, that is totally what is going on haha

Nordvärmland tog en viktig seger i Vänersborg idag efter en bra andra halvlek!

Nordvärmland tog en viktig seger i Vänersborg idag efter en bra andra halvlek! Viktig match för Nordvärmland, man hade halkat ner till sista platsen men vid vinst idag skulle man klättra en plats men än viktigare så skulle man bara vara två poäng från att komma över på rätt sida av kvalplatsen. Nordvärmland ska ha startat i en 5-3-2 formation idag och ha haft en riktigt bra första 15-20 minuter…
