Midnight Sun
Last night we had the BBQ. In the end it wasn’t much of one, because everyone that came to the party had already eaten… not that many people came. Most made their lame excuses about having worked all day and being too tired
But Torill, Stian and his lady friend (also called Hanne) showed up, so we sat outside chatting and drinking.
At about midnight we decided to go to Martin’s pub in Lillestrøm, of which I have heard so much from Hanne. It’s quite cool that it never actually gets dark here, during the summer. The closest it comes is a sort of twilight. A short 130 NOK (about 11 GBP!!) taxi ride later and we were in the town, at which point I realised I had left my wallet back at home, including my ID, meaning I wouldn’t be able to get in to the pub. Well, I sure as hell wasn’t going to pay another fortune to go back to get it… so we joined the queue to get in. Then, just as we got to the bouncers at the front and Hanne was about to explain what I had done, a fight broke out on the other side of the line, so the bouncers all had to rush over there to sort it out, leaving us free to walk in! Proof that my guardian angel is still watching over me!
That’s about it, in a nutshell. Pictures from the trip so far can be found here (note: i screwed up the captions and the photo resizing a bit, so only the ‘low-res’ (640 x 480) versions are available. I might redo the whole album section soon anyway, just to standardise everything and add captions / descriptions… if I can be bothered).
