Yesterday I took a new tour to this Beauty together with my sister and brother-in-law. We walked the Roof, and saw tourists, lunchers, sunbathers, workers and all enjoying the white marble, enormous mirrors by the windows, the closeness to the sea and sky.
N is for Neither in that week Nor the week thereafter, when you do the P may I be able to participate
So Not anything more - Nope!
All these medicines are necessary to keep the alien organs under control and make my body continuously accept the hearth and kidney from the donor. In addition medicines are required to treat side effects and balance one side effect with another.
A Wine Cork, a Beer Can, a Pot with Flowers and some Crazy trophy Figures brought home by my daughter after an evening at Tusenfryd
Have a nice blogging week, and more odd shots can be found at Katneyskaboodle in her blogroll.
Weekend activities starts Saturday night with playing cards in our home with friends (Bitte and Terje) Of course dinner and wines are included.
Sunday morning. Still a little chilly , but working in garden get the temperature up
Rhubarbs growing, se the first picture from Dawn of Spring in March
The raspberry stems are manicured and made ready for the season. At the end og august we have had about 30 kg from these prickly canes.
The countess can rest after the first spring effort this year. The sun is burning. The trash put in sacks. I am at my favorite location, 15 C in the shadow.
Normally we are used to see fire brigades high up in the sky.
During the last weeks we have learned much more of the job these highly qualified persons perform in the effort to save life and property.
For those of you who want new challenges in seeing the world I recommend the Google Earth 4.3 and you may see a Video with some of the features through that link.
Download the Google Earth 4.3 for free and have fun with this new tool! I have.
Somebody may believe it is an Atom bomb hitting target out in the west prior to the building of US Missile Shield. The strength of the sun is however many times the power of that possible mass destruction nuclear weapon, and the sun is extremely dangerous for us with reduced immunodeficiency. Make your UVa and UVb protection cream ready for the season.
My Major M this Wednesday are to focus on Norwegian Mountains. We have a lot of stones in this country, and some of them are so big that they can be called islands or mountains. The above stone is my painting of the island Godøya with the lighthouse from 1876 at Alnes west of Ålesund.
From Ålesund we drive in Hjørundfjorden with the fantastic Sykkylven Mountains east of the fjord, and climb up to Standaleidet and Standalhytta.
From this pass we continue thru Stryn and up the old road as seen towards west from Videseter
At the plateau we have the Stryn summer ski center, and the beautiful green icewater.
After leaving Lom and taken the route against Oslo with Snowkiting at Valdresflya,
before we have the possibility in Oslo to watch the movie The bucket list (in Norwegian: nå eller aldri) with two very great actors. Worth seeing. See it you too.
Some of you will remember that I was one of the members of the development team at Rikshospitalet (National Hospital)´s reconstruction of their Web sites."Rikshospitalets sider har gjennomgående meget høy kvalitet, både når det gjelder innhold, bilder, navigasjon og grafisk design. Rikshospitalet skal spesielt ha skryt for sine hovedtemasider, som setter en helt ny standard for andre lignende organisasjoner i Norge.The project manager (Børge Einrem) and the web designer (Siv Holen) are happy as seen on the photo here:
På tross av en stor informasjonsmengde, har Rikshospitalet en luftig design som hjelper sidene med å fremstå som brukervennlige og ryddige. Fargeprofilen, tekst og bilder gjør en god jobb med å få sidene til å fremstå som profesjonelle, varme og vennlige.
Rikshospitalet har gått fra nettavisform til en side som tydelig har blitt gjennomarbeidet grundig med fokus på brukerne.
En side som Rikshospitalet skal ha spesiell skryt for, er siden for barn og ungdom. Siden bærer preg av høy grad av pedagogikk, gode bilder og gjennomarbeidede tekster, og vil være et svært viktig verktøy for mange.
Rikshospitalet bør være meget stolte over hva de har klart å få til på nettsiden, og over at de vil gå i bresjen for lignende nettsider i Norge.
Gratulerer!"
Congratulation to us all!
Another odd thing is Awards in Bloglandia.
ArneA (Norway) Your passionate work for awaking us to become donors hit us in the head, now and then. You also inform us about transplantations and important stuff and in-between that You show us a great sense of humour, culture and love, and You are an amazing photographer and erotic painter. I am a blood-donor and I will look into if I can give more, thanks to You "keep Up the Good Work"! (My heart You already got *lol*)Thanks!
After a fantastic evening participating in the opening show of the new Opera House in Oslo, Norway, no comments necessary except that the photo is from Dagbladet
Saturdays we always stroll downtown to feel the urban life. On our way from home we meet the challenges connected to using the tram or our feet on the 15 minutes walk . The weather must be extraordinary bad if the tram is our tool, but in the last years city-bicycles are available around the city free for use if you pay 70 nok a year.
Further down to the main street we meet spring flowers in the Royal Garden and see that "Viola Canutta" are already planted at the bottom of the trees at Studenterlunden:
On the top of the hill, before Karl Johan continue down to Oslo Central Station, the old shop selling gloves and hats, "Hallens", are rebuilt into a Restaurant. Three Brothers.
A few yards from this bar and restaurant the very odd Ole Kopreitans peace-wagon with hundreds of buttons is located.
Turning the face towards the Royal Castle again, we visit the Cafe Christiania for a lunch. The Urban Saturday life is normal as usual. Have a nice weekend wherever you are in Norway and around the world.
One of my colleges and friends in the Norwegian Association for Heart Lung Transplants (FHLT) Rolf Berntsen died yesterday after being seriously sick for a long period.
To continue with official Gates or Doors I move to the famous bronze Gates of Paradise at the Florence Baptistry just west of Duomo
The door consists of ten bronze panels from the Old Testament:1. Adam and Eve 2. Cain and Abel 3. Noah 4. Abraham 5. Isaac with Esau and Jacob 6. Joseph 7. Moses 8. Joshua 9. David 10. Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Environment includes rainy weather, and we had no time to wait for sunshine.
The door is called the face of the house and you can feel that this door wishes you welcome
My own Gate to the world could of course be my laptop, but here I choose the Sony 46 incher on the living room wall receiving TV signals from the whole world.
I also made a photo-video with music by Abba about the whole snow-removing process.
This year the snow has taken a break, even though we have had some volumes for example in February and during Easter. The temperature has, as an average, been a little higher "than normal" and yesterday the street was washed at least a month before the previous years. Instead of snow the trucks moved away lots of mud.
I am indicating climate changes, and accept that something is happening. The big question is if the changes are manmade or occur as a consequence of "normal" variations. The discussions about this will continue. Today I am not part of the Al Gore hysteria. 
Discussions about the opening activities around our new Opera House in Oslo will go on too. A new video was presented by TV2 yesterday, and to all you Graffiti enthusiasts visiting my blog, take look at the video here.
