Winter trees in Lillestrøm

We're visiting the south of Norway - they actually have more snow here than we have up north! Perhaps they can send some of the snow to Vancouver? :-)

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:-)
