Will knee spoil summer?

Was looking forward to the summer...

Had started cycling to work after the winter and planning long bike trips, prepared the golf clubs for finally some real usage and both football with mates and work was moving from indoor astroturf to real grass, then I go and blow up my knee!

So now Im hobbling like a muppet, with a knee which the doc recon may be jumpers knee combined with inflamed joint fat pads. Nice. However I hope that is the only problem as it is treatable.

Its not only sport thats affected, but also weekend trips and every tasks are restricted, so its not fun for Chloe either. But that may be mostly due to my winging.

Its been a month since I injured it and the kne had started to get better. We travelled to Gothenburg at the weekend, and it was no problem.

But yesterday I stupidly decided to walk home from work. Walk was fine, and I was starting to get optimistic about playing footy soon again. Then as popped into a shop it "clicked" and I was in total agony again. Depressing.

Viet Nam

Back from two weeks in Vietnam, cycling from Saigon to Hanoi.

Fantastic country, brilliant people, too many motorbikes!

In the heat the climbs were hard, but otherwise the 500 km we cycled flew by.

In total we covered 1700 km, with some 500 by a sleep train, and the rest bussing through traffic or very hilly sections.

There were endless picture perfect beaches that was completly empty. Wont take many years before the beach bum tourists catch up though.

New everything

New Job, new house(soon), new country(well return to old)!

We have moved back to Norway, Oslo to be precise. Its a great summer, not looking forward to the autumn, but winter will be great again.

Flatsearching is a battle, as each one gets snapped immidietly as they come up for sale.

New job is good, Im now a senior consultant. More mature role, so no sleep-ins anymore.

But its all good.

30th + leaving do

Im 30 years old this month, so I am commiserating with a party. It will also be a leaving do for me and Chloe as we are leaving Manchester the following week.

Planning a long day of world cup football, resturant and plenty of cheap and nasty lager.

Moving

Finally moving back to Norway.

12 years abroad, so its probably nothing like the rosetinted memories I have.

But should be interesting.

Ski

Ah winter, cant beat it.

As I was born in Telemark,
it must be in my blood,
but I love winter time.

However I hate the slushy gray period before. Unfortunetly living in England, there is no proper winter, just 5 months of gray autumn. :(




And I dont like people complaining of it being too cold. It never is, just bad clothing. As they say, if it gets colder, add another layer of clothing. But if it gets warmer there is a finite layers you can take off....

Budapest

Whats worse?

In gun range in east europe, with a mad party for a stag do?

Or that we were wearing ginger wigs ....

Ibiza

Just back from two weeks in Ibiza.
Floated in the sea most of the time,
sorry I meant snorkled...

And now Im off for a stag do in Budapest.

Im getting to old for this....

Michelin Man

Just spendt a stag weekend impersinating the michlinman on a surfboard in Newquay. Fun, but paying for it now its monday morning....

May be awhile since my last post.
