Sailing Misha

Thursday, July 4th, 2013

A premier for Misha today; it is his first time on a sailing boat!!

Me and Misha were invited to join our friends Per & Ingrid for a three days trip through the Blindleia area, a 20-kilometre long inland waterway in the municipality of Lillesand. We left this morning, unfortunately no sailing yet (to gain some time against the wind), that should come tomorrow, yay! The first day was a success, Misha loves to be on a boat, there is soooo much to see!

It will be Misha’s first night to sleep ‘on the water’ (in a boat though 😉 )…as you can see below, sailing makes you tired so it should not be a problem. 😉

Douglas Adams: “He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”

Diesel car turns electric

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013

I already knew it was supposed to be a hectic day today; flying back home with Misha (*and* 3 suitcases, 3 pieces of hand luggage plus a stroller, pretty packed 😉 ), coming home late afternoon having about an hour to unpack and repack for a 4 days sailing trip, then driving 3.5h to the cottage…oh well, slight change of plans; the X5 got jealous on the electric powered LEAF next to it and used a cruel tactic to show it: it emptied its battery so I couldn’t start its engine when I was about to leave, darn!!

I am currently charging the battery via the engine heater (which comes with a battery charger), so both cars are happily enjoying the AC juice in the garage…a diesel car turns electric, huh?!?

Michel de Montaigne: “Don’t discuss yourself, for you are bound to lose; if you belittle yourself, you are believed; if you praise yourself, you are disbelieved.”
