Escape from boredom

Spent two days in Trondheim this week teaching WCM. Stayed one night at a hotel and went out to see the movie “Si at du elsker meg” http://www1.vg.no/film/film.php?id=9012 I would agree with review, but I do not agree with the last sentence, I do not see how this movie can comfort anyone.

The last day before I took the night train back home to Oslo I visited Einar and Laila, thanks to them I did not need to walk around the streets in Trondheim all by myself 🙂

And here is a picture of the locomotive, a diesel locomotive. And my advice to you, if you ever travel with a night train in a sleeper, then it might be bad to sleep with an open window. The exhaust came straight in, so I had to close it…doh! But when in Oslo the next morning, they had changed it to an electric one, so somewhere during the night I could have opened it again. Maybe that is why the train was one hour late, but a good thing anyhow, since I got to sleep on hour more.

But, not with my friend Kent, but the Swedish band Kent http://www.kent.nu/. Bendik & co had a ticket to share, so I joined them. I must admit that I hesitated a bit, I still remember their concert at Roskilde in 2002 which was…not…very…good. From that day I’ve refused to go to yet another Kent-concert, they are better on cd than live. I must admit, that even though the concert was better this time, I still do not like them live…better spend the money on some other band.

While browsing for the correct way to write “necessary” I stumbled across this article http://www.forbes.com/2003/10/08/cz_af_1008health.html

Kent tipped me about this great gadget. If you have a Mini-Z or some other remote controlled car you soon will start to wonder how fast it goes…the solution “Tamiya TAM15183 Mini 4WD Speed Checker”

Had to buy some lunch today, so I bought a bread and needed something on top. I ended up with something really old fashioned “Sunda” – which has the slogan “Sunda, kraftig godt!”. The box has not been changed since it was brought to the market in the 1930’s…

Yesterday the we finally finished most of the work, and we are now able to use the kitchen as before. We now have electricity for the oven and dishwasher, thanks to Kjetil. There are some small issues left still, but we have plenty of time to fix that before we move in about four or five years 🙂

We are quite happy with the result, needless to say, it raises the standard of the kitchen _quite_ a bit

After a long day of work, kitchen work and a bit more than an hour of spinning at SATS, the quickest option to get food was….a grandiosa … to bad that was the first thing to be done in the oven…but, I needed the food…

This one was quite funny, someone asking of the possibility’s of hiking at Melkøya, read the response (In Norwegian) http://fjellforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=3139

A classic one I must say….hiiiiiaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
