Observation: I take too many photos from the plane. Photos from planes are mostly boring. And blue. Very, very blue.

Then again, flights are pretty boring, and there isn’t much to do apart from looking out the window. I’m mostly shocked I wasn’t told off for not turning off my camera until well after the turn off all electronics now or the plane will surely crash and burn point.

Having safely arrived in England, we went on to have a late lunch with the following charming young gentleman, as well as exchange christmas/birthday gifts.

Friday was shopping day and nothing much worth taking a picture of happened, except this little kitty spying on me in the morning. I could theoretically have met up with Chris this day, but timing was not in our favour, so no wacky antics to tell about. Sadface.

Saturday we had considered spending in Wells, but decided on Stourhead Garden instead. We’ll have to come back here in summer for comparison photos.

Sunday was birthday tiem!!, but I did grab a few landscape photos before the drinking began.

Monday we went to the roman baths in Bath. They say you should put aside 1.5-2 hours for the full tour, and that may be enough if you’re not as photo happy as the two of us. We had paid for two hours of parking before heading to the baths, and figured that would be enough—we were a little over half-way through when we realised we only had half an hour of parking left. Ah well.

I’m off to England again for a week, the main purpose being to celebrate cute boy’s birthday. Ever since the first time I had to wait for our checked-in bag it’s been my goal to travel with hand luggage only, and this trip we should be doing just so. My weapon of choice for this is a Smart Alec, a backpack I drooled over for about two years before finally deciding it would be worth the money. I’ve only used it for carrying (lots and lots of) groceries so far, so it will be interesting to see how it holds up.

Our plans for this trip includes the roman baths in Bath and the cathedral in Wells, so there should be some nice photos for you when I get back. With some luck I’ll get to meet up with several internet weirdos, too (Hi Chris!).

I will likely have little or no access to certain modern luxuries, so follow me on Twitter to watch me slowly go insane from the lack of internet.

I have a bruised knee, I’m wearing a band t-shirt, and I have beer in my hair. I have been to the first concert of Hurra Torpedo’s 2010 world tour, and I have pictures!

In fact, I have videos!

There are plenty of other videos on YouTube showing off the wonderful insanity of Hurra Torpedo. You should go have a look!

Like I said, these guys are going on a world tour—their last world tour! Go see them while you can!

Winter lies like a white blanket over Norway, and this has some amusing effects you rarely see in warmer climates. This sunday afternoon, cute boy and myself took a walk here:

Yes, exactly there.

We took the train out to Sandvika, and walked down to the ocean. You can see it just behind the bridge.

That big flat area? Not land.

These little trees were put into the ice at presumably regular intervals.

It’s hard to mistake what these red flags mean.

If the two of us going for a stroll wasn’t odd enough for you, how about some people out flying kites?

Walking on a flat area like this can be deceptive. It was a long walk back to land by the time we decided to turn around and hunt for some dinner…

You can see all my photos from our little walk on Flickr!
