Well, the Youtube video below shows something completely different; just watch the Danish National Chamber Orchestra play (with) Red Hot Chili Peppers…ROTFLMAO!! 🙂

It is the first of a new month and as I started it this morning by saying ‘rabbit, rabbit, rabbit‘ I will receive good luck for this whole month, yayyyy! 🙂 Apparently any combination of rabbits, white rabbits or bunnies will do, as long as it is said like a mantra.

New header graphic

October 30th, 2014 on 23:14

Summer is long over, or at least it feels that way; temperatures are dropping below zero at night though as it is rain pouring down instead of the magic white stuff called snow, this must still be autumn! 🙂 The fantastic sunset header graphic that accompanied a fantastic summer in Norway will be nothing more than a fading memory soon…

I am blessed with lovely nature around me, the Lysdammen lake is less than 5 minutes away and is besides a nice starter for a hike, also a great place to take pictures. One that I took last year (promoted to header graphic) was nice, though I like this years picture a lot better!! (he he, I am such a sucker for ‘mirroring lakes’ 🙂 )
