Last weekend together with colleagues from work I did participate in Holmenkollstafetten. Good day, did run 24 seconds faster than last year (7:57), I got the night off as well from home so I could attend to the banquet and sleep a whole night – staying at Scandic Hotel at Helsfyr…luxury!
Learned that windfall means getting an unexpected large amount of money. So, the tree is not a windfall as we would say in Norwegian “vindfall”, but a tree felled by the wind. Notice the red marking, I did mark the trail two weeks ago, and now the tree is blocking the trail instead. Need to bring my chain saw one day.
Mowed the lawn yesterday for the first time this year. Checking my blog I see that I did it a week earlier last year.
A job that should have been started a long time ago, but never to late. The good thing is that I easily see the progress.
Elin removing ticks from one of our cats a couple of days ago. She has afterwards had to remove yet another one from the other cat as well.

Trying to stay connected with my laptop, did actually not manage. The distance from the router was to long, so have to stay inside for a while before the outdoor antenna arrives.
Yesterday I was spinning while listening to Samsaya and her new album Bombay Calling. Did enjoy it while working out, has a couple of potential hits as well. Simen did previously ask me to provide more details about each album I listen to, to much work, instead providing a link to a review of the album
And here showing how easy it is to loose focus while working out. Just by reaching out my hand I am able to grab a beer, or booze for that matter…trying to stay strong.
Last Sunday I had to take down the old birch standing next to “Grete-huset”. Plenty of branches was dead and we feared that it could tip over any all time. By the help of my neighbor securing it by the help of the tractor and winch it did fall down as expected. Due to the wind helping me I did not actually need the wire rope, but better safe than sorry when it comes to doing stuff like this.
Did also cut down a tree for my neighbor close to their stable, this one we did pull down with the wire rope.
