  • Berlin zoo

    I was walking along the street one day, minding my own business. Nek minit I look through a fence and see an elephant! It turned out I’d stumbled across the Berlin zoo. Below are some photos I took whilst there.

  • Kebabnorsk

    Kebabnorsk

    I learned a new Norwegian word this evening, kebabnorsk. This literally translates to “Kebab Norwegian”, which means the language spoken by people in kebab shops in Norway. I’m pretty sure I’m fluent in kebabnorsk ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Skiing 2014

    I went on a (cross-country) skiing trip in Nordmarka, just outside of Oslo. We stayed at Kobberhaughytta, an awesome little cabin in the woods. It turns out that my skiing skills have not improved much since last year, and so the downhill bits were a strange combination of halarity combined with fear!

  • Elephants in Berlin!

    I’m just walking along, minding my own business listening to music in Berlin. Nekkminit, I look through a fence and see an elephant. It seems there are interesting things at every turn in Berlin!

  • Sony products in water

    I own a pair of Sony headphones which went through the washing machine once. They still work just fine. I wonder if it works with Sony Vaio’s too?

  • Venus flytrap flowering

    This image of a venus flytrap about to flower really captured my attention today. There’s some truly appealing about it, but I can’t quite pinpoint what.
