You are absolutely right Cotty, it is a spatula. 
But what do you use, when the spatula is in the dishwasher? If your hands
are clean. Right, you use your index finger. That’s why the index finger is
called slikkepott (among other names) in Norway.

Enough ranting about nothing. Lets talk about økseskaft ;-) 

When repeating økseskaft continuously on an ad-hoc tune, you may also get
photogenic facial expressions. Or you may get a kick in your lower back
region.
Nice photo. BTW. Your getting things on subject manoeuvre was very elegant.
