Delicious and totally fat free pasta salad with green beans

Last weekend I spend some time in my Mum's garden and picked this season most deliciouse green beans. One of my favorit vegetables in the Summer are crispy green beans. I prefer them lightly steamed/boiled. So this week I have had deliciouse pasta salad with green beans for lunch three times.

I don't have exact mesurements, I only puts together what I think will keep me full and content for a while. The ingrediens of the salad were as follow:

Pasta
Green beans
Coliflower
tomatoes
zuccini

as garnish I used

Sliced lemons
Basil leaves



Enjoy!

Pip The Gunieapig on adventures

This weekend Pip and I went to cottage by a lake where she could stay outside on the grass. She was also let out of her cage and went on a adventure on the lawn.















A Lady on a road trip who don't mind getting her hands dirty!

As a result of that my car is getting older and I don't feel like paying more to get a reparation that cost more than my car is worth I have to check the motor oil regulary.

Here is me out side of Hamlets Castle checking the level of motor oil on my beloved Toyota who brought us safe and sound around in Denmark and back home to Norway this Summer.



Have a look at Kronborg Castle in the back ground.

A treasure for the Autum and Winter season found at Hamlet's Castle!


On my roadtrip to Denmark this Summer we stopped by Kronborg Slot (Castle) in Helsingør, the town and castle is best know for its legendary hero Hamlet, Shakespear's not-quite-fictious Prince of Denmark.

In the gift store I found this wonderful  Crown shaped candle stick and it was cheap to. If I would have bought this in an interior store home i Norway it would have cost me more than three times the price I gave for it in Denmark. I have also bought a couple of Christmas presents here.....

I am so happy about this royal buy.








This is the modern B, but I am dreaming about walking around in this courtyard with a large
renaissance dress and a hot night or a charming prince courting me.

My August adventure! Pip - The Guniea Pig!


A few weeks ago I voluntered to "baby sit" Pip, the guniea pig. We have spent 6 days together now and I think we are starting to bond. I am more of a dog person than a cage animal person, but I think this is turning out well. Maybe after spending three weeks with Pip, the guniea pig, I might even consider one myself.
One of the things I like about Pip is that she smells like a clean stable and I do like spending time with horses and in a stable.

Pip enjoy her delicious treet, a cucumber.



Is she not just adorable!!


Where is the toilet brush????


I spent my last week of vacation this Summer in Stocholm with three friends. After getting up at dawn to catch a early flight to get in to Stockholm early for some seriouse exploring I had to use the bathroom at our hotel just after we checked in at Sheraton Stockholm. After doing number 2 I was in a serious need for a toilet brush to clean up after me, so my roomie on the trip could get out of there with a bill of clean health.
I thorougly search our bathroom and our friends bathroom, but there was no toilet brush to be found. As long as my knowlegde of Sheratons largest group of guests, The Americans. They do use the toilet, doing both number one and number two, so why are'nt the bathrooms equipt with toilet brushes?. Even the Youth hostels in Denmark equip their bath rooms with this necessery tool.

So my request of the Sheraton Hotels around the world is, please equip your bath rooms with toilet brushes!!!

Thank you!

Summer time and fun memories with Bertil The Goat.

This week I have been commuting between work and my friend Lindas house were I have been cat sitting for the beaiutiful Thomas the Cat. On my way home from work on Tuesday I met some of my friends Karianne, her son Lavrans and Anne. Lavrans is 5 years old and wanted to meet Anne's goat Bertil so we drove further out in the country side (Søndre Høland) to visit Bertil the Goat. Here we had a fun little photo shoot with Karianne's IPhone and and Bertil the Goat.
Here are some of the photos;



Bertil the Goat is getting to know me and to see if I am trust worthy.




I guess I passed his tests.


Bertil the Goat is nipping and liking me in my neck. It kind of tickled. This is not something I am used  to every day.


 Me, Anne and Bertil the Goat
