Super busy week. Followed by very relaxing weekend in #Åmotsdal, #Flatdal & #Notodden 🌲🏔️🌳 #Telemark with my mum and good friends 😊 #NorwegianWeatherReport 🇳🇴

Yellow 💛 🚲 🌳

What do trains, art, ex-military and dark internet have in common? And the Royal Household? My latest book review: @peterjamesauthor.bsky.social nordiclighthouse.blog/2026/05/23/t...

Reminder from someone who read The Tin Drum on Miami’s South Beach and The Brothers Karamazov on the La Jolla Cove: any book can be a beach read.

Gratulerer med dagen #Norge 🎉 17. mai #syttendemai #NationalDay #ConstitutionDay in #Norway 🇳🇴 is about celebrating democracy and freedom which should never be taken for granted. It’s about friendship, kids, families. With ice cream, cake & hot dogs. Photos from 2023 & 2025 with my Norwegian family ❤️

Stairway to heaven, sort of, especially if you like rain, fog, sea, boats, noisy seagulls, quiet ducks, and a promise of sunshine 😊

I can confirm it works 💯 🥰

Today is yellow 💛 ☀️ #NorwegianWeatherReport 🇳🇴

Yesterday #Oslo had black clouds, rain, strong wind, blue sky, sunshine and white clouds. April, isn’t it? 😉 #Oslove #NorwegianWeatherReport 🇳🇴

Got a message from my neighbour upstairs: Good morning, did you felt also that the house was shaking? And my first thought was: well done, congratulations. But it was a small(?) earthquake about 70 km away - though I don’t know any details really #jordskjelv

#WorldBookDay today 📚 and a memory from 2016 when I was celebrating William Shakespeare’s birthday with my mum in Stratford-upon-Avon

#FirstCoffeeOfTheDay ☕️ with the original and intriguing One True Word by Snæbjörn Arngrímsson, translated from #Icelandic 🇮🇸 by Larissa Kyzer @pushkinpress.com

www.nrk.no/ostfold/jo-n... Jo Nesbø’s #Minnesota is the winner of this year’s Riverton Prize for the best crime fiction novel in #Norway 🤩 The English version, titled Wolf Hour and translated from Norwegian by Robert Ferguson, is sitting on the top of my TBR list 🇳🇴

Reblogged: Jo Nesbø’s Gothic Oslo Trilogy. As millions of people around the world (last number 6,9m) watch #HarryHole on Netflix and social media are awash with stories, photographs, interviews & opinions, I read a great review by Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen of a new academic book on #JoNesbø’s writing.

#MondayMotivation 😎 Especially as it’s 13th. Again.

Latest details on the largest wind farm in the world – to power 3.3 million homes – as it prepares to connect to the grid. As renewables saved the UK £1bn in gas imports in March, Reform UK is still saying it wants to scrap Net Zero.

Winter mood in #Telemark ❄️ #NorwegianWeatherReport 🇳🇴

I asked 🐈 Zelda 🐈 if she knew it’s her 3rd birthday 😻 today. She just said she’s too busy patrolling the garden, supervising seagulls and inspecting the neighbourhood but she will some tuna for dinner when she’s done for the day 😹

Fantastic sky between snow and rain 🌊 ☀️ #NorwegianWeatherReport

I think I have a new boyfriend🤞 He calls me shark 🦈 (my favourite sea creature) and wants me to sing to him (ugh). I don’t understand anything else he says but we’re having fun 😉

Question and answer 😻 #TheLegendOfZelda

Good morning 🌅

I’ve just heard first seagulls 😊 Hell, yeah! Spring is here! 🍃 🌺 🦅

Waffle Day 🧇 today #VaffelDag

#FirstCoffeeOfTheDay ☕️ because that’s my current entertainment at the airport ✈️; the shop is yellow 💛, and the poppyseed cake-ish is hard to find in Norway 🇳🇴

Well, I have just booked two nights in Stirling 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for @bloodyscotland.bsky.social 📚 Who’s in?

#Banksy is unmasked. Years of investigations, answers & questions, and now the news is that we can finally know the identity of the radical street artist. That’s not so important for me. I lived in Bristol for 25 years and Banksy was at every street corner, of course I’m exaggerating a bit…

Early #FirstCoffeeOfTheDay ☕️ because it’s going to be a long day

Friday the thirteenth. What could possibly go right? 🌧️ 🐈

🌍📚 Celebrating #Translated #Literature! Open Borders Press founder and publisher Christopher MacLehose shares some heartening news: sales of literature in translation are strong and growing. A reminder that readers are increasingly looking beyond borders for the stories they read. #ReadTheWorld

Fog 🌫️ yesterday and today but days are definitely getting longer #NorwegianWeatherReport 🇳🇴

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all good women and good men who are not afraid of talking and thinking 🤗

Be a lady. Be a legend. Be a hero. Be a queen. Be yourself. Do whatever you want. Chill, relax, work hard, sleep well, paint, read, cook, climb, lie down, write, build bridges, watch TV. Decide what you want even if you don’t know what it is. Or maybe you do.

Snow ❄️ will melt one day 😊 Good morning everyone 🌅 #NorwegianWeatherReport 🇳🇴

#FirstCoffeeOfTheDay ☕️ 😎

I love Oslo even when it hides its colours. February, isn’t it? Today’s quick visit made me feel quite emotional for some reason so now at home I’m having a hug in a bowl. It’s actually Christmassy risgrøt aka rice pudding which just tastes perfect, with butter, and sugar and cinnamon.
