Also met this little guy when my wife almost stepped on him. Grass snake (Natrix natrix), biggest species of snake in Norway, but this particular one was tiny. Not poisonous.

Took time off from organizing Norsk Kornølfestival to go on a forest hike in the lovely weather.

If they've transitioned to taking payment in dollars the situation must be dire indeed.

Paulette has done some good papers on Mesopotamian beer, so I have high hopes for this book.

Out of the 68 Latvian documents on farmhouse brewing 9 are translated, leaving 59 to go. It’s not enough for a paper/blog post, but definitely progress.

It tracks pretty well with the professional ones. I have Harris at 58% now, 538 has her at 63%, while The Hill says 55%.

Uh, no. I will not send you a direct message, because I think your settings don't allow them. If you're willing to translate a document, let me know, and I will send you one. My email is larsga@garshol.priv.no. Or we can do it via DM here.

Thanks for the offer. I've tried Google Lens, Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, but none really produced usable results, unfortunately. Part of the problem is that these are hand-written documents and a lot of the vocabulary is quite obscure. Even humans struggle with some of it.
