Friday I got home from work and did very little apart from reading a good book and eating snacks with my feet up high. I was tired after an eventful week and when I finished the book I went to bed early. It was the perfect Friday evening for me. Yesterday I had a little… Continue reading Sunday again

Wonderful weekend
This weekend has been a very good one so far. It started Friday with me picking up some lovely cocktail mixes made by one of my favourite cocktail places. Now that we can’t go out to enjoy drinks out, we can support our local places in this time and still have some really good drinks… Continue reading Wonderful weekend
Snowy Sunday
Yesterday I got more tidying done than I thought I would and so, after the take away we had up at my mother’s house we enjoyed some wine and watched TV and I decided to spend the night there. During the night there was a bit of rain and a bit of snow. So it… Continue reading Snowy Sunday
2021 has started
2021 has started out quite cold here in my part of the world. In the mornings and evenings when I have been walking to work and back the temperatures have been between -4 and -9. It does not usually stay that cold for that many days here in the south-west of Norway, but it has been… Continue reading 2021 has started
Walking in the new year 2
I started the second day of 2021 by awarding myself another sleep in, enjoying some blog reading and writing in bed. But I did get up a bit earlier than the day before. The weather was still very nice, but it was below zero and a little icy out. We drove to Hafrsfjord, to go… Continue reading Walking in the new year 2

Asking us to stay home when we can and go back to limiting our social contacts.… Continue reading Numbers are rising
Road trip 15: Bergen
After having been on the road for some time, we were going to spend three days in the same destination. This was in Bergen, where I used to live when I was a student and Noways second largest city. Our main goal for the stay, a part from enjoying ourselves was to spend some time… Continue reading Road trip 15: Bergen
Road trip 14: Voss
When we left Tyssedal in the morning, the weather was a bit overcast, so e got in the car again and drove some more around Hardanger, and crossed the fjord using a bridge I had not used before, that took us into a relatively new tunnel that took us towards Bergen. On our way there… Continue reading Road trip 14: Voss
Road trip 11: Vøringsfossen
On our way over Hardangervidda, our main stop was by a Waterfall called Vøringsfossen. The name is derived from the old norse verb vyrða, that means esteem/revere, and fossen that means waterfall. It has a total drop of 182 metres (597 ft), and a major drop of 163 metres (535 ft). It is perhaps the most famous in the… Continue reading Road trip 11: Vøringsfossen
