Why worry?

Have read some articles about the new Opera here in Oslo where it gets criticized for not being well formed for disabled persons, in this case the blinds. Here is one of those articles

I must say that I agree when it comes to the interior of the building, it should be accessible for blind people, but why on earth are they complaining about the exterior? There is only one reason to go up on the roof of the building and that is to enjoy the view…

Friday – Bicycling to Moss with Hans Jacob

On Friday we went to Moss to visit Sigrid and Vegard. Elin went with the car a day before me and on Friday me and Hans Jacob, the husband to Elin’s cousin, went together on our bicycles. We had a nice ride, good weather even though the wind was blowing hard in our face almost the whole way. Half way we had a break and bought strawberry close to Ås. Had to enjoy it, because the last time I went there it was definitely not like that http://www.hellem.org/blog/index.php/2008/04/06/100k-today-in-bad-weather?blog=6

Anyhow, this is the route

And here we are enjoying the strawberrys
