Today’s best bits:
Leaving work early. I left work early due to train badness (see yesterday’s post), but I managed to get a train that got me home before I would usually have left work, so that was good.
Eating chocolates left over from colleague’s birthday yesterday.
A colleague telling me they’d found the third lost book – [...]

It is a horrible, grey and wet day here today. I think the weather is affecting my brain, so today’s offering will not contain many words, but will mainly made up of more photos of an also rather grey and dark Oxford.

We’ve just spent a couple of days in Oxford. Most of yesterday was taken up with visiting the redeveloped Ashmolean Museum. I liked what they’ve done to the place. The beauty of the building is still there, but it’s easier to see everything and you feel a bit less like you’re going from room to [...]

This is the first of my objects. It’s a magnet and is usually holding up bits of paper on our fridge door, but I took it down to take its picture. I would like to go to Hawaii, but I haven’t been there. The magnet was brought from there from my friend S, who [...]

I think I agree with Oscar Wilde to a certain extent, although I’m not sure how I would actually like to live in London and to be in such a busy place all the time. It might be a bit much. However, I like going to London and being in London. I like the [...]

Last weekend we went to stay with friends in London. I went on a short walk around Kensington Gardens and took some photographs. It was a really hot day and there were a lot of people around. The formal gardens were lovely – I’d never seen them before and neither had my friend, despite the [...]

Yesterday, I worked from home due to no trains running because of the snow. I can’t say that I did a full 7.5 hours work, but then I probably don’t do this when I’m actually in the Library of Doom either. At least I got some things done so I didn’t have to do them [...]
Posted in NaBloPoMo, Norway, Photos, Travels, tagged Borg Viking Museum, Lofoten Islands, Norway, Photos on November 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
The sink in the picture is in the toilets at the Viking Museum at Borg on the Lofoten Islands in Norway. I took a photo of it because it was the biggest handbasin I’ve ever seen. Much more interestingly, the museum includes a reconstruction of a Viking hall. Unsurprisingly, it reminded me a lot of the kingdom [...]

The best bits of today

Reading a comment on my blog. Thank you, Lily. You made my day.
The sunset out of the office window this afternoon. Having floor-to-ceiling windows in the office defnitely has its advantages.
Now, listening to Etta James.
Today’s random photograph:
Another sunset. This one was in Norway, in June 2007.
