Escape from boredom

…or at least a lot of snow has melted the last two weeks since the last tiem I took such pictures.

When walking from the bus yesterday I had wade in order to get home. Luckily it was like this just for a couple of hours.

I have also thought that the skiing season was finally over, but I was wrong. #1 was out skiing – highly influenced by all the Candide Thovex-videos he has seen on Youtube

Last Sunday I spent a couple of hours driving the firewood home after having cleared the edge of the field together with my neighbour Thomas. Spring is here, so the roads are all cleared from snow, so I could unmount the snowchains of the tractor.

But, without chains I was unable to get uphill in order to turn the tractor downhill and load the wood. So I needed help from Thomas and his John Deere.

And talking about John Deere, apparanlty the deers have had a party

All done, now head home

Woke up this morning and all was white yet again.

The funny thing, which I did not notice until heading for the kinder garten was all the snowballs out on the field.

The snow must have been just a little bit moist and the wind strong enough to make all the balls

I guess it comes with age, documenting weather conditions, but since I use the blog as some kind of diary I do enjoy looking back on how much snow did we have that year at this time and such. So here goes, pictures taken when waiting for the bus this morning.

An everyday pleasure, perfect timing when selecting which door to enter the train at Oslo S when it stops this close to the stairs at Lillestrøm.

Spring is starting to show strength at Ørje, this picture from last Saturday. Apparantly fifteen men on a dead man’s chest has been to Ørje earlier this winter, most likely during a day of heavy snow and then lost their bottle of rum. A bottle of Captain Morgan found by #3

Just had to take a picture of this box of chocolate at work last week.

The wheel of the bus driving us home from Norefjell today

Along with my colleagues from KLP we headed for Norefjell on Friday to spend the weekend there for leisure activites (and some work related). Anyhow, what a weekend, here the view from the top down towards Noresund

And this a rather crappy picture I must admit, my colleague Sindre checking his cell phone while my other colleague Anders taking a picture of me. But, way back in the distance, we saw Gaustadtoppen, almost 70km in the distance.

Sunday morning, about 20 minutes before the lifts opened I started walking the first one. So I was completly alone on the second lift, and got to be the first one going down, really made my day.

No one behind

Had a lot of fun with my new pair of skis. Head Shape 3.0, bought them because I needed a pair to use when skiing together with the kids. Not advanced in any way, but boy did I have a lot of fun with them, even offpiste was fun after a while when starting to feel comfortable with them.
