My parents are away on summer holidays and for logistical purposes and for the change in scenery we decided to stay over at their place for a night. They only live a 5 minutes drive away from me, but you feel like you’re more away from the centre of town than that. When we were… Continue reading Ullandhaug – Stavanger

Beach Volley and being busy
I’ve been really busy lately. As I am in desperate need of a new job I’ve been applying for a lot of jobs lately and all the application writing takes up a lot of time and even more energy. Sadly my blogging has suffered and so has most other things. I have a lot of… Continue reading Beach Volley and being busy
Witsun at the cabin
I spent this Whitsun at our summer-house. The weather was not the best when I drove in after work on friday, but the rain wasn’t too bad. I woke up quite early on saturday and after a nice long breakfast I drove to Jørpeland, the nearest small town. I picked up some groceries we forgot,… Continue reading Witsun at the cabin
Photos from Yesterday – I’m a survivour!
I survived the 17th of May. All the marching, playing, the rain and sunshine. Even the part of the day where I was locked out of my apartment after being so tired I had returned the car and the keys to my home and got back with the keys to the car (luckily I got… Continue reading Photos from Yesterday – I’m a survivour!
Norwegian Island Idse
Our summer-house, that I wrote about in the previous post and a few others. Is as many of you have gathered a place I come to relax. It is situated on an island close to the quite famous Lysefjorden where you can find the pulpit rock. I find the scenery quite beautiful and dramatic. The… Continue reading Norwegian Island Idse
Hyttetur (cabin trip)

Enjoy the sun and try out my new phone camera on the lovely scenery there. This did not happen, because on thursday I got a fever and was… Continue reading Mayday Weekend
Easter in Ireland Part 4: Castle Hacket and Lough Corrib
We had a gorgeous sunny day and decided to use some of it to see some sites nearby. First stop was Castle Hacket, the castle in the photo above. Wikipedia writes about the castle that: “Castle Hacket is a 13th-century tower house located at the base of Knockma hill six miles southeast of Tuam, County… Continue reading Easter in Ireland Part 4: Castle Hacket and Lough Corrib
Easter in Ireland part 2: Tuam and Oranmore
Our base for my stay in Ireland was a nice house in Tuam where the back yard neighbours where sheep and their little lambs. We had a lot of good weather and I got to spend some time in the sunshine or in the sun room to read and relax only disturbed by the little… Continue reading Easter in Ireland part 2: Tuam and Oranmore
Ireland here I come!
The day is finally here and it’s time for me to go on vacation! The last time I was this much in need of a holiday was when I’d just delivered my Masters thesis. Back then I was going for a two week trip to Thailand. This time I’m not going that far away and… Continue reading Ireland here I come!
