It doesn't snow all the time

Even though the pictures I put in this blog these days indicate that I do nothing but skiing in brilliant conditions with lots of snow here in Norway, it is definitely not like that all the time. Right now, for instance, it is wet and dark outside; the snow is melting away. A guy even walked by my window with an umbrella in his hand this very moment! The thing is, I don't take many pictures of boring stuff. Things that I find boring, that is. Instead, I focus on nice moments, such as those I had this weekend...

Snowboarding in Oslo

After a few days of heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures in Oslo, Ragnhild and I went to Tryvann Vinterpark on Saturday and enjoyed a couple of hours in the fresh and soft, nice snow. She used her own snowboard while I rented one at Skiservice, which you will find is online, but only on the internet--the board I got was a bad one, full of scratches, and way too small for me. They were all out of the proper-sized ones, even though I called in advance to reserve one, which they told me was not necessary because they had sooo many. Right. I am not going there for ski-rental again. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful day in the hills, me and my sister!

Swimming dessert

As Saturday was skiing-day, Sunday became swimming-day. Although it could turn out not to if Ragna hadn't been there to swim with me. The thing is, I forgot my swim trunks at home, but didn't discover this before undressed. Unable to tell Ragna (in the ladies locker room) I had to put my clothes back on, and run back home to get it (judging by my breath, I could probably benefit from more of that running thing...). I entered the pool some five hundred metres behind here, but as everybody knows, girls tend to spend way more time in the dressing room than guys. So we got out of Tøyenbadet at approximately the same time. Then, we went out for lunch which we simply had to finish with a nice dessert (see picture above).
