Forest tending

Leisure

This weekend I spent a couple of hours doing forest tending at Vestreng. I had to thin the forest, to many small trees. Gives us some fire wood as well. I actually stumbled across some old barbed wire which I also removed, or at least I collected it all and put it away under a ledge. This you can see on the upper left picture. The lower on the left shows what I have to do, upper right what I have done, and the lower right shows me taking care of a windfall. You can, if you look closely, see the wire hooked on the tree, ready to pull it down.

Todays dinner

Leisure

Just had to blog about the dinner I made today, mostly to remember the recipe myself for later. But also to tip you all, my reqular readers about this recipe. I must really recommend the tropical sauce.

Gigantic shopping cart

Leisure

On Saturday I was doing communal work when my sports club, Sportsklubben Rye, had the yearly Rye-fest. My duty was to buy the beer for the dinner, 90 persons and 2 bottles each, I needed a very large shopping cart. OBS Løren to the rescue. The cart is almost as big as Espens Toyota Yaris.

Yesterday Espen and I was returning the empty bottles. Imagine how heavy the cart was when it was full of beer.

Making popcorn

Leisure

Yesterday evening me and Anders was home alone. After I had put him to bed, I decided to make myself popcorn. The recipe is quite simple, fill the bottom of the pan with oil, turn the heat on. When it is very hot, fill the bottom of the pan with corn until it is all covered. Wait, shake once in a while. So I did, and as you can see I’m living on the edge. 10 more corns, and disaster might had happened.

The lid was a bit lifted by the popcorns, but disaster did not happen.

But, after I had removed the lid, three corns suddenly popped…scary!

Cleaning up pictures on my cell phone

Leisure

Some pictures from last weekend. On Friday I went out to Vestreng on my bike, when I spotted these three elks, or moose as it is called in the U.S http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose, at Fetsund. The next day I had to move the lawn, but before that I had to remove a lot of apples that was lying underneath one of the apple trees. I used the wheelbarrow and left them out on the field to the elks to eat. They might get drunk 🙂

I then started to move the lawn. Plenty of leafs had fallen down, the picture showing the before and after sequence when I drove the lawn mover over them.
