Quiz: How long can you survive trapped in your own home?

Created by OnePlusYou - Free Online Dating

A fun quiz. And I'm posting because I'm bored and have very little else to do. Although even if I could survive 360 days cooped up in my apartment, with nobody to talk to and no access to the outside world. I would before the 360 days were up most definitely use my sami-knife, pick-axe and a rope and risk abseiling down the outside of the building. Otherwise I think I might go quite insane.

My own Sami-knife is a 9" Strømeng. Which I'm quite happy with. Excellent to bring along when going out on a nature hike.

Quiz: What Punctuation Mark Are You?

You Are a Question Mark

You seek knowledge and insight in every form possible. You love learning. And while you know a lot, you don't act like a know it all. You're open to learning you're wrong. You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more. You're naturally curious and inquisitive. You jump to ask a question when the opportunity arises. Your friends see you as interesting, insightful, and thought provoking. (But they're not always up for the intense inquisitions that you love!) You excel in: Higher education You get along best with: The Comma

Walking along Akerselva from Vaterland Bridge to Maridalsvatnet

Today I awoke early to take advantage of the good weather. I went down to Vaterland Bridge and followed the Aker River (Akerselva in Norwegian) upstream all the way to Maridalsvatnet (Which is the main source for drinking water in Oslo).

Along the river one can see many 19th Century factory buildings which used the river as a source of power.

The walk along the river was about 8-9 kilometers (and took me about 3 hours )and is quite scenic. As you can see:

A quick walk around Dronningberget

Dronningberget at Bygdø, Oslo, Norway
A small park with benches, mushrooms and small pathways. The park also contains a monument in honour of Count Wedel-Jarlsberg and sæterhytten, which used to be an old cafe with a music pavillion (which is soon to be refurbished).

Vårmønstringen at Øvrevoll

Today I attended "vårmønstringen" hosted by Norsk Sportsvogn Klubb (NSK)
Here are some pictures for those of us who love old sports cars.

Today I went to Lutvatnet (a lake) in Østmarka (Oslo, Norway). Here are some pictures from my 3 hour hike. An easy trip, but also quite enjoyable. Definetly recommendable.

My Camelbak

I bought a new backpack for short trips about a week ago. I've been testing it out lately.

It's a Camelbak H.A.W.G.

I'm quite staisfied with it. It contains a 3 liter hydration pack and has a pocket for my ipod and has enough room for other gear needed for a short hike.

It's been raining...

I went for a walk today. I don't have a lawn to move so I haven't been able to demonstrate against the workers international day in the customary manner today.

Instead I went out to enjoy the rain. It's been wonderful.
