Greetings earthlings! How have you been? The above picture is courtesy of the delightful new Facebook trend ‘Bitstrips’ which is taking over people’s walls. Oh the fun.

I have gathered together enough pictures and things together to finally make a post worthwhile, so thank you for your patience.

This week, snow came. This is the view I enjoy outside my livingroom window today.

This time a week ago, not a flake to be seen. Tuesday, a little. Last night… only something just short of a blizzard quite frankly. The hale hitting the windows at 4 am sounded like gun fire. I might pop out later and make a snow angel, or do something upright and make a snow Communist. I feel that this may be here to stay for the foreseeable future, but as long as it is snow over ice, I will remain a happy Mr Dave.

As far as I am concerned , Norwegian food is truly at its best in the Autumn and Winter, and this year my consumption habits have been no different. The main season has kicked off with my annual nibble on some Lutefisk.

My face of fear is mere jest readers, it was the best Lutefisk I had eaten (mostly due to the fantastic chef we had on hand). For those of you unfamiliar with said aquarian delight, Lutefisk is a fish soaked in lye, dried and then reconstituted. It tastes great but its translucent transparent and gelatinous quality can make it a challenging eat for newcomers. Here is a picture of a restaurant version.

It is very nice, and I look forward to all of the winter food yet to come!

In other news, I have worn a jumper for the first time this century.

Views on my look? I have not idea why I chose to do this, maybe I grew up over night? I possibly scenario, but rather doubtful.

In other news, my project for SINTEF is completed!

It will almost certainly require one or two minor adjustments before submission next month, but for the most part it is done. Yay!

This weeks ‘Culture Shock’ did make me laugh very much indeed! This is real van that I saw on my travels.

He he he

Take care everyone, stay out of trouble, and don’t forget to post comments.

See ya soon!
