Me and Piper, our neighbor, or to be more correct – our neighbors dog – went out running two days ago. I got pulled a lot for the first half hour, but the rest we were more or less helping each other. Fun to not be all alone, also since it got pitch-dark at the end.
Out running yesterday and with the help of a map and a compass I did do some border control That is, trying to figure out what is our land and what is the neighbors land (say it with the tunes of This Is Your Land in the back of your head). Passing this bog I had to take some pictures, was a pretty nice view.
Afterwards I made a huge fire. Had collected a lot of branches and covered them with plastic the past two months, so they where really dry. One single match made all this.
This evening, spinning to The Strokes and their new album Comedown Machine. Must admit that I fast forwarded some of the songs, not the best choice for interval training.
Also upgraded my gym, bought a big clock when in Sweden. It is synced using radio signals from an atomic watch somewhere in Germany. So it adjusts itself, and also switch from summer to winter time and back again, how cool is that?
And a close up shows the unintended romantic trick.
My car is at the auto shop today for the periodic technical inspection (EU inspection). So I needed to get back home. Two hours until the bus departed, cannot run since that would kill my legs and not able to bring my bike to Bjørkelangen. Solution – kickbike!!
Took a panorama-picture, but my iPhone did not cope with the sun, but fun anyhow
Nice view just before Fosser
But, that’s nothing, this guy did America coast to coast http://suewidemark.com/delzer.htm
This year is not like the past ones, today I had my first bike ride, 5 months later than for instance last year. But, what is better is the weather when riding the bike in May than in January.
A quick stop overlooking Maridalsvatnet.
Yesterday, spinning to Noah And The Whale
While writing this I found a review of the album saying
. I gave it three out of ten for the first two songs and the last one. All the music inbetween is aimed at 12-15 year old girls. I thought I was listening to the best of Australian Idol. Songs have no depth and are aim at a quick buck!!
Utter crap and is the worst album of my collection. The only positive is that I also bought the new strokes album which is gold.
I do no think it was that bad, meaning, it was easy listening, but I must admit that I got a bit annoyed of the lyrics. And that does not happen often, me paying attention to the lyrics.
Yesterday, spinning to two albums – first Wannskrækk and the album Riff (1980 – 1985). Good one, get better at the end as well, which is good when listening to it while spinning.
Then Kung Fu Girls and their album This is the Kung Fu Beat. Good one!
Found the album on the newly released list on Wimp, needed an album that did not last for more than about 30 minutes, spot on. Have heard of them before, did not remember that I had heard them, not my cup of tea.
On Wednesday I was out running and took this picture.
. A small piece of sand showing in the snow. Just 200 meters before it was mint conditions for cross country skiing. Very much winter compared to last year when Espen and I was out with our mountain bikes
Yesterday I was spinning to El Cuero and their album A Glimmer of Hope. Ok, it is good music, no doubt, but…for listening to while spinning, not my cup of tea. Instead I would recommend the album if you where to drive for many, many hours in a car and then when you get to Hardangervidda, Finnmarksvidda or somewhere like that and you will be driving straight ahead for a long time…put on El Cuero. But driving fast on a twisty road, find something else.
Instead I would really recommend The White Buffalo. I’ve been listening to his album Once Upon a Time in the West many, many times the last week. Good stuff!
