Down on the farm

I've got a new tripod for my camera. So far I have'nt used it that much, mostly for taking pictures of the items in our shop. However I've discovered that all the crap that I keep in my office can come to use after all..

Troublesome Volcanic Ashes

The Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland makes things go a little slow here in Scandinavia at the moment. The airspace has actually been closed, since the ashes from Iceland is drifting over some parts of Norway now, and is spreading to Great Britain, and northern Europe.

We ask our customers to be a little bit patient when waiting for any orders placed after 14th of April, since this also affects the airmail .. naturally. Hopefully the postal service has a plan. We'll keep you posted!

Our Prime minister is actually "stranded" in New Youk right now, and can't get home, while the ashes is hanging over us.. 0-1 to Mother Nature, I guess.

Everyday Life

Yeey! It's Saturday, and I got to sleep in today. I think my body has run out of vitamin D, because I've been tired the whole week.

On Tuesday I managed to get my toilet clogged. I was just getting rid of a liter of old chicken soup, that had been in the fridge longer than I like to admit.. but let's just say that it should have started to pay rent. I poured the whole thing into the loo and flushed, but instead of going down and disappearing, it came back UP! The bright yellow soup was now floating close to the edge of the toilet, and I'm pretty sure it was going through it's options.. flood the bathroom, or leave quietly. It had a little think, and then decided to slowly leave. Unfortunatly the soup took mr. toilet air freshner as hostage down the drain, or at least I think it did, 'cause nobody's seen him since.

So there I was. It was a struggle. A war in my bathroom. I fought with buckets of hot water, trying create enough water pressure, so that the remains of the soup (and possibly mr. air freshner) would surrender and leave the bathroom premises.

In the end I gave up and called a plummer. I'm waiting for a bill, I'm sure it will be big, since plummers do not come cheap.

And also it's going to be a while before I make my chicken Tom Yum soup again. But hey; feel free to email me if you want the recipe!

Golden Saturday

There's something about the things that were filmed in the 60's that makes me think about that decade as golden. Maybe it's just the fact that the pictures that dates from that time in general has more yellow in them, and that it makes everything looks warmer. Maybe it's because the pace was a bit slower, and everything just looks a bit calmer, more friendly, distant and dreamy.. And the fact that I never got to experience that time, since I was born almost 20 years too late.

Someone at work showed me this video on Wednesday, and the tune has been stuck on my mind since that. It makes the days seem more golden.. Enjoy your weekend!
