time to tidy up!

 We had a great party for TK last night, so no surprise the house looked ... well; let me put it this way: very well used ... this morning. After tidying living-rooms and kitchen I continued into my study

The main problem in this room is lack of shelves. To give myself some more space I removed all the books I have review this year into a shelf in the hall

As you can see the desk isn't quite cleared yet. I feel like my head is clearing up as I sort out my books and notes - giving room (physical and mentally) for new thoughts

My reading-chair looks ready for new hours with me and my books

To get some peace and quiet I've put a warning sign on my door, it says: Hush! Work in progress. Visiting hour 12:00-13:00. Please do not disturb. The line in the middle says: new brewed coffee welcome at all hours (professor TK has become an excellent barista lately)

On a second note, just underneath my own, my son has written: April fool - hm... (seems like there might be a slight authority issue here???)

celebrating!

someone's turning 50 - and its not me!

happy birthday, TK!

(and no; he doesn't usually go to sleep wearing a bow-tie, not yet ...)

I know nothing about this Mr Cobb, but my son does - and he wanted his hat...

continuous celebrations

king of the dudes

Evander Berry Wall, a New York socialite, was dubbed "King of the Dudes"

A dude is an individual, typically male, particularly somebody well dressed or who has never lived outside a big city

My dude is a bit more laid back than the king, here he is at Sola Airport with his brand new t-shirt, portraying Walter (John Goodman) from The Big Lebowski; the greatest dude-film ever made!

The t-shirt has an inscription saying: I don't roll on Shabbas (I don't think it's gonna be a problem for my agnostic son) The t-shirt was a totally unexpected & very appreciated gift from his sister

DUDES!

hipp-hipp-hurra!

Bror is 20! He's celebrating by going to Denmark with TK - to play chess all week!

I'm staying at home... knitting him a scarf for the winter to come ;)

the new chef

No, it's not Sout Park's Kenny!

- but Maria, who made us a delicious lasagna today! As a child of her time, she used her mac as recipe book, placed on the bench while cooking...

sommerlitteratur

Det er sommer - og jeg kan omsider velge mine bøker fritt og vidt. Litt av tiden skal jeg bruke sammen med Elisabeth Badinter og hennes ettehvert nokså gamle bok "Det naturligste av verden? Om morskjærlighetens historie" som jeg i dag fikk i posten takket være Ruuds Antikvariat.
