Recommended reading for everyone, nothing more to say!

Early morning at Ulsrudvann

Woke up at 06 this morning, and since the weather was so nice I decided to go for an early bike ride, had to be home before 08:30 since Elin had planned to go to SATS. So no mercy, a quick breakfast and then out on my bike. And what a beautiful morning, stopped at Ulsrudvannet and took two pictures before heading towards Klemetsrud, Grønmo and then back via Østmarkskapellet. Hoping for more mornings like that to come.

Nokia out / Apple in

New job, new phone. But, will keep my old Nokia for the hardcore outdoor days, with rain and temperatures below 0 celsius. Also keep in mind that if you are higher than 3000 meters above sea level…Apple says you can’t bring your iPhone (see here).

Ok, I admit it, I’m not that enthusiastic when it comes to Apple products, even though I’m writing this on our Macbook Pro does not mean I’m religious when it comes to eating apples… 🙂
