Here is a picture of me at New Year's Eve 1969 ‐ 70, by my grandparents, when I was 14 years old. I show this picture because of the sweater. It is a traditional Norwegian garment called Setesdalskofte (Setesdals Sweater), named after a place in Norway called Setesdal. It was my mother who had knitted it, and embroidered the colored pattern, she made different such traditional things. Later she also made her own knitting yarn from the wool from their own sheep.

This is something I think that these criminals have influenced me to wear out and forget. It seems as it can be like that. This sweater was something to dress up with, not something to wear out by using it carelessly. I had it for a long time, maybe my mother had made it larger when I grew larger, and that the color pattern had been made larger from the beginning.

Today this also is something I think it could be smart to get. But now I have bought so many such things from before, so I must let it be for a while. By putting out this picture, I have done something which makes this coming back to me again.

I also think about how I look interested at something. I could be very interested in different things, and sometimes I started to read different books about such things I got interested in. That could be all sorts of things.
