Apparently in the USA millions of people watched the wood burning stove for hours. :nod: ...and FB was going strong on 'hows to' keep it going. :thumbs:
I only wish I could speak Norwegian.

we also had a lot of payable TV channels on free viewing during Christmas time. one of the channels showed a fire burning in an open fireplace. it was almost silent, just tiny little cracks and humming of the flames. :D
it reminded me of many of our nature cameras. the difference was the sound: our nature cameras usually have a lot of sounds.

1 November we had National knit evening.. :rolleyes:
The whole night we could follow the process "from sheep to sweather". It was ( of course..we norwegians love slow TV..as in "Hurtigruta", "Bergensbanen" og "National Vedkveld"), 1.3 million viewers that was watching, and 90000 that watched all night through.
I didn't see it, only the last hours in the morning. In fact, it was fascinating, even if I'm no good at it myself.
It was also very popular among foreigners, I saw several english comments on the screen while I was watching, and the program was translated into english..
