Not sure if the truck driver has thought of the same symbolism when spray painting the truck which I saw outside my office building today.

Spent the weekend in Tromsø celebrating my first cousin Andre, he turned 40 about a month ago. I also got to visit my friend Kent, always a pleasure. Sunday, lovely weather in Tromsø, Kent is giving the garden shredder a hard time.

Also testing the pogo stick

After work what tastes better than black crowberry lemonade? “Krøkebærsaft” from http://midnattsolprodukter.no – worth the money.

Pictures taken yesterday when at my in-laws. The first frost has covered my car, -3 when we got up in the morning.

The leafes have turned yellow and started to fall of.

View towards the neighbor, seems beautiful, but … and there is a big but … the crop has not been harvested, it has been to wet this year, and to cold.

Samewise here, nice, but the same but. I do not like it…even some think that the climate changes might shake the earth.

My friend Kent from Tromsø is spending a couple of days here in Oslo, so yesterday after work we went out to eat and diving into the art of good conversations.

Got a new friend today, her name is Betty Brown, the Norwegian brown ale produced by Lervig Aktiebryggeri. Along with a double Daim it was a perfect ending to the evening after done some home improvment.

Once again Nils Oscar came to visit me, this evening – “Nils Oscar India Ale“, always such a pleasure

Last weekend I got to finish up the stair in the barn. Quite proud of myself.

This guy is sitting outside the building where I work, every day, watching the construction workers slowly progress…hardcore construction worker watcher!!
