Lots of action

It's been quite a while since I posted here. And to Flickr. So I'll try to put things straight now. First, I've uploaded some pictures from Beitostølen. Then, me and my brother visited a cat exhibition with Hercules in Spydeberg. He (Hercules the cat) didn't win this time, but is nevertheless still my favourite cat. Finally, the Norwegian national day passed by with a splash on Wednesday May 17, but still the streets were filled with nicely dressed people. If any of my friends abroad ever decide to visit Oslo, the childrens parade on May 17 is definitely worth seeing!

Apart from these photographed events (my digital camera is starting to fail seriously and I might have to buy a new camera), poor(ing) weather has dominated the last couple of weeks and seriously reduced my bicycle training before the trip to Strasbourg. So today I made an effort to exercise for real, and met up for an introductory trip with Frøy bicycling association. The result was almost 90 kms on the seat, and two stiff legs. But it feels right, and now I have to continue putting kilometres on my wheels; I'll start this weekend with a two-day trip to our cottage near Fredrikstad, some 90 kilometres each way.
