Escape from boredom

Hilarious, in Norwegian.

Wed go down to the river
And into the river wed dive
Oh down to the river wed ride

Earlier today I had a meeting in Nydalen, and when walking back to the subway I noticed something out in the river, art? I don’t know, but I had to take a picture at least. I immediately had to call my friend Kent telling him that he should have been working in Nydalen as in the past. Then we could have had lunch out in the river.

Today Anders got to bed early, and Elin and I was just sitting in the living room doing nothing in particular when I just wanted to show her some funny clips I had seen on Youtube. I had seen the first episode of the American game show Wipeout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wipeout_(2008_game_show). It ended up with us watching four entire episodes, it is hilarious. And now we are about to get the Norwegian version as well http://www.tvnorge.no/programportaler/wipeout/wipeout

Today we made more than 6 litres of fresh apple juice, and Elin also made to apple cakes. Next weekend we will try another. Today we prepared the apples with the apple cutter, in that way the juice was a bit brighter and we did not get half as much “apple meat”-garbage. In fact, I had trouble keeping up with the speed of the machine, unlike ysterday when I had to push the apples down and you could really hear the machine working hard.

By the way, the commercial picture I used yesterday showing the machine with apples – it is a lie, the juice will never be as clear as the picture shows 🙂

Remember that an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

As the first picture shows, there is plenty of apples available out at Vestreng where Elins mother and father lives. And they have four other trees as well. The process is quite simple, you don’t even need to do anything with the apples, you don’t need to remove the seeds or anything. But after the first test today we will the next time use an apple slicer just like the one on the picture above. It is in fact faster than using the knife to get rid of the bad parts of the apple, and a very easy way to check if they are rotten inside.

As the third picture shows I made about 1.2 litres times two, and with very little effort. Tomorrow, who knows how much…and you can do even more if you want to – carrots, potatoes, the sky is the limit…but not bananas.

Yesterday I went out to try to find some used cars which we could consider buying. Talked to Espen on the phone on my way who said that he would not be surprised if I ended up buying a car the same day. So as he said I did. So yesterday I signed the contract saying goodbye to my old Peugeot 206 SW, who has been a superb car – but unfortunately to small now, and saying hello to a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI. Almost like this one dinside.no/php/art.php?id=29361, except that I bought a 2006 model.

Ok, I must admit according to this article http://www.dagbladet.no/dinside/2004/04/14/395763.html it is bad to buy a Ford

FORD: Eliten velger ikke Ford. Dette er bilmerket for vanlige folk med vanlige liv, og som jobber fra 08.00 til 16.00. Ford-eieren har ikke noe behov for å stikke seg ut. Er familieorientert og bryr seg om nære ting i hverdagen. Ford er mest Frp-bil.

Back home from our vacation, only to realize that our apartment has been the scene for several suicides. About fifty wasps have gotten into our apartment and then ended their life together. We found these wasps in the small bedroom, even more was to be found in the living room.

Yesterday before going to bed I had to try out my camera and the fixed 50mm lens. Before reading further I must admit that I have not done what I planned to do at once when I bought the camera…reading the fu¤#¤2 manual. I know that I will be able to take much better pictures if I do so…I will do it as soon as I get downstairs 😉

Anyhow, here are two of the pictures I took, accompanied by the picture info cut’n pasted from Picasa.

The pictures are taken from the bedroom window at Valbogen towards Levang.
