Digested reads

Now I don't have to read "The Humbling" by Philip Roth. (Not that I ever intended to...)

This is from the Guardian's Digested read:
------------
After his release, Axler had retreated to his farmhouse in upstate New York and it was there that Pegeen had visited him. Her parents were old friends and he had known her since she was a baby, suckling at her mother's breast. Now she was 40, a lesbian teaching at a progressive women's college in Vermont. "Have you ever slept with a man?" he asked.

"Not for more than 20 years," Pegeen replied. "But there's something about your arthritic body I find irresistible."

"I can only make love if you're on top of me because my back's playing up," he said, fondling her heavy breasts.

"You're a smooth talking lesbo-converter, Philip . . ."

LOL:-D Read the rest here!

Winter is here

The wife took this photo from our veranda last week:


The day after she went for a walk in the neighbourhood:


It was 14 degrees celcius below zero that day:


All these photos were taken around noon. We don't have much daylight the few weeks before and after Christmas, but the little daylight we have is beautiful, I think:-)

Weekend in Trondheim

Saturday started kind of foggy:


But by night time the weather was perfect for Halloween!


Sunday drive with mum. We parked the car for a few minutes by the fjord, so that we could enjoy this view:

Sunday walk in our new neighbourhood

- How do you like the view from their new flat?
- Well, I haven't seen any cats yet. So in my opinion it's excellent.

Thanks to Av en annen verden for helping me discover this great blog: Awful Library Books. Check it out!

Besides watching all the Seeking Simone episodes that I had missed, I've also been catching up on Tanita Tikaram's blog. I think my teenage crush has re-awakened. She's so hot - and funny! Take a look at this:

"There are a couple of photos of me in the supplement of the men's fashion magazine ' Fantastic Man' this month. I'm featured under the headline ' Tanita Tikaram on Modern Health', a subject I know absolutely nothing about, which sort of qualifies me to talk about it in most modern media. I come across as vaguely barmy, not inaccurate, but the barmiest quote of all is completely made up!!

Q : " What do you see when you look in the mirror ?"
A: "I see a teenager. My skin is not aging, and I don't understand why. It's embarrassing to be 40, looking like 16."

Yikes!! I do remember the journalist asking me how old I was and answering that I was going to be 40 this year. How this information has evolved into the self-love fest that is the above quote only the shamanic mind of a trained journalist can reveal. In truth, I hope that when I do look in a mirror I see something more interesting than my age..."
