Escape from boredom

Yesterday Elin had her birthday and I made a banana cake. Got thumbs up by my parents-in-law, even Elin who initially said that she did not like banana cake enjoyed it.

And today on the 25’th of March it is the Waffle day here in Norway (and many other countries as well) – read more about waffles at Wikipedia, much I did not know. I have celebrated the day making oat waffles. Elin is skeptic, but she have not tasted them yet.

Yesterday Elin bought two Hansa Pilsner Lite

…beer along with spicy homemade tomato soup, a perfect combination. And according to the webpage klikk.no/helse/dinkost/tester/ the beer won best in test…competing against other lite beers (should have known). Nothing about taste mentioned, just “not much alcohol, less calories” and such.

I would summarize my rating with a link to the song “It’s no good” by Depeche Mode. Why fool yourself, either stay away from beer or drink the real stuff. Have never enjoyed Hansa anyway. And neither have Hamar Arbeiderblad

This weekend Lars Tormod and I teared down the old grain drier at Vestreng. We had planned to go and fetch firewood, but due to all the snow which is icy on the top and more like sugar underneath we where forced to do something else. We will wait until the snow is gone and then do another try.

I’ve plowed away the snow so we can get the firewood we made last year.

Found an old ski jumping helmet belonging to my father-in-law

Lars Tormod started working

Almost finished

All down, not we just have to hand it over to the scrap yard.
