Today we went to see Lars Tormod and his band Pillow playing at Den Gode Cafe. Even though I’ve quoted Anne Grethe Preus earlier, I must say that I enjoyed the concert.

Accepting the paternity
To have the Directory of Residents register that Elin and I have joint parental responsibility for Anders it came clear to me that I had to meet up at the register office in person and accept the paternity. A bit annoying that this does not happen automatically, if we had been married it would have.
Waiting in line at the register office, Anders soon to get a legally accepted father.

Dilatant fluids
Yesterday Bendik and Line visited us. We served dinner and dessert, when I was about to finish the dessert – home-made fruit soup I use Potato Flour. Bendik then asked if I had tried to make shear thickening fluid out of water and potato fluid. I had never done that, since I did not even know what it was. So, we had to try. So with the perfect mix of potato flour and water you get a fluid which makes the spoon goes smoothly through it if you stir slowly, but if you do it fast the spoon almost gets stuck.
Funny, but not sure how to use this in real life 🙂

Forest tending
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.
Paternity leave rules!
Yesterday morning when I got up I was really happy that I have my paternity leave now. I looked out of the bathroom window and noticed that the traffic was standing still, almost no moment at all, both on the sideways down at Alnabru and on the motorway. This due to the first snowfall this season and people still using summer tyres. How stupid can they be. Morten has also written something about it http://www.mknudsen.org/?p=245, linking to a news article as well.
Better be prepared, water alarm mounted
To get an early warning in case of a water leak I have mounted a water alarm underneath the kitchen sink today. The neighbour downstairs had an accident earlier this year, the pipe to the dish washer leaked, but luckily for him he was home and was able to stop the water from causing a disaster.
I bought it at Clas Ohlson, I guess Kent wish he had been able to join me when I was there, it is by far his favourite shop as I know 🙂
Todays dinner
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
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.
No more Hellacopters – the curtain is down
