Just say yes to sunshine

Today I want to spread some sunshine.

This picture shows the morning sun entering the valley of Lærdal in one of the deepest parts of the worlds longest fiord; the fiord of Sogne (Sognefjorden). The fiord goes almost halfway into Norway.

This is my view from the window as I write, and this is the view I enjoy every day I’m visiting my girlfriend. It’s uplifting, allright

Lately I realized that I have been indulging myself in self-pity too much for my own taste. It’s time to turn the other cheek and greet the spring and summer with a new fresh, happy spirit. Bad news on the CI-front will eventually have to be replaced with good news again.

So, my dear readers, please enjoy the view of Norwegian mountains with rapidly melting snow on the tops. Today I will walk in the bright sunshine, take pictures like crazy, and if they’re good, possibly share them here with y’all…

Have a nice sunny day!

Quote of the day:
There is no greater impotence in all the world like knowing you are right and that the wave of the world is wrong, yet the wave crashes upon you. – Norman Mailer

The cost of a CI-operation?

Can anyone tell me the cost of a CI-operation? Either for one ear, or simultaneously both ears?

I would like to “hear” (pun intended ) from everyone who has knowledge about it…

On a personal note…

My writing is a bit slow these days, I hit a mental bump in the road caused by these budget cuts I was interviewed about…

I’m sleepless in Oslo again, and thought it would be a nice opportunity for letting the world know I’m still here…. And finally browse through some old photos of mine…. Time to air them

Easter holiday is just around the corner, and I intend to spend my time at our Swedish farm by the lake to get my inner strength back. I will hopefully complete a restoration of a sturdy American built Mercury outboard-engine that has been broken and lying around for years.
Also I will take up a new hobby; kayaking! And with that another too long ignored interest of mine will be much more interesting: photography…

I imagine a lot of photo-opportunities just waits there for me to capture… Have plans to take it up again… Hope to show some of them off here on my blog in near future! These two were taken last year with my Nokia cell-phone, imagine what I could do with a proper camera….

And good wishes (and a little jealousy     ) goes to these recently CI-activated blogger’s! Pay them a visit and leave a happy Easter note and let them know we’re CI-happy for them! Some of them has posted their activation videos, check it out!

With this last picture I took last year around Easter time I bid thee good night and I wish all my readers a happy Easter holiday!

A new feature to the blog

  Poetry in a picture….

This picture was taken today as I was x-mas shopping with my girlfriend in Førde, and sendt directly from that spot using my mobile to this blog. This is possible thanks to ShoZu, which in my opinion is incredibly cool! Easy to set up and VERY easy to use! Works with Facebook, WordPress and several other blogsites.

Expect to see more pictures from me on this blog
