SUNDAY DINNER
I've had a really relaxing weekend and today I've made myself a good dinner and cookies! A good way to recharge the batteries from 96 to 100 percent.
The cookies turned into one, but thanks to some persuasion, "the cookie" got back to being many!
The cookies!

The cookies are back!

TRIP TO THE MOUNTAIN
Last weekend I borrowed my grandma's car and drove to our cabin, about an hour north of Lillehammer. My parents came up Saturday afternoon with my uncle. We celebrated my dad's 54th birthday with buns, cake and good wine!
I went for a hike on Saturday and went for a swim in one of the mountain lakes. It was cold, but really refreshing! My left knee isn't great these days, after I hurt it during beach volleyball practice, so both the Saturday trip and the trip on Sunday were quite short. But enjoyable!
Before my parents arrived at the cabin, they sent my younger sister of to Germany for a year as an AFS student. You can read about her experiences on her blog (in Norwegian)!
LIFE AS A WORKER
It's been a long, long, long time since I updated the blog. As quite a few times before, I've been very lucky, in the sense that a lot has happened and I've experienced so many cool things. The most exotic thing is my trip to South Africa, but I'll have to save it for another time.
The other thing is maybe not as exotic, but it's definitely a life changer - I've started working! It's a brand new world, with lots and lots to learn, but I'm liking it a lot so far! (Good thing, since it's something I'll do for quite a few more years).
SUMMER 2010: WALES
The past few days, I've been with Tom in Moss, a small village near Wrexham in Wales. We've planned the upcoming South Africa trip, played with ther puppy dog Rosie and played some golf. It's been great.
We also paid Chester a visit, one of the oldest Roman cities in Great Britain. We got to see some sights and I bought myself some proper golfing clothes (trousers and polos) so that I will be allowed entrance in South Africa. Tomorrow we leave for London and the day after tomorrow, the trip to South Africa will finally begin!
Below you see a couple of shots taken with my phone (and the very cool Hipstamatic app).

BUNGEE JUMP AT RJUKAN
Andreas and I bungee jumped from the 84m high Vemork bridge near Rjukan today. Absolutely fantastic! I don't have any images of the jumps atm., so an image of the jump order will have to do. 8: Andreas and 9: me!
