very weak northern lights

A superthin sliver of Northern Lights over Oslo right now. Probably a little clearer away from the city lights. 2025-11-21

Carmina Burana in Oslo Konserthus 2025-11-21. The first time I have heard it in the concert hall without being in the choir myself! (And I managed to refrain from singing along :-) …)

Orange winter sky

Oslo is covered with a thin layers of snow. Not enough for a winter wonderland but enough to make pavements slippery. Nydalen, Oslo

Jupiter as a dot in the sky over a tower

Road sign for 'Skirmish Paintball'

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

Homemade pizza

Friday again and (after a short break) homemade pizza again! To prove that I’m not a boring middle-aged Dad, I made it while listening to a Keane CD with the volume turned up a wee bit. Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful, safe, and happy weekend! Be kind!

Unni Wilhelmsen live on stage in Oslo 2025-11-13

'It sounded kind of crazy': How ripples in the high atmosphere warned scientists of a tsunami in real time Tsunamis are notoriously difficult to spot on the open ocean as they race towards shore. But in the summer of 2025, scientists watched one unfold as it happened.

Another example of "hey, we could use the noise in GPS to measure..." This time it's the ionospheric delay being used to observe tsunami propagation in near real time (10s of minutes). @sdpwilliams.bsky.social @funwithgps.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Whoa! It’s an almost unearthly stamina he has playing with that intensity and tempo for a 2-hour show. A good showman top - good with the crowd!

Level 42 on stage in Oslo 2025-11-09

Level 42 live in Oslo 2025-11-09. That was incredible! Would have been worth the price of the ticket for the bass guitar alone. I could have seen them back in the 80s when it would have been cool, but better late than never:) I’ve seen some *legendary* bass players but MK is just something else!

I’ve just heard teenagers on the Metro saying «six-seven» «six-seven» - so it’s real! It’s an actual thing. Not just an internet thing.

Hvorfor er jeg i Moss?!

Kari Bremnes on stage in Oslo

Kari Bremnes - live at Sentrum Scene, Oslo 2025-11-06. Fantastic voice and fantastic sound. I do like the up-tempo stuff so much better than the down-tempo stuff - and I miss the darkness and drama of how «Mitt hjerte hamrer og hamrer» used to sound. But always worth hearing!

Notice for Todd Rundgren’s Oslo concert

Todd Rundgren live in Oslo 2025-11-05

Todd Rundgren live in Oslo 2025-11-05. Not a lifelong fan or anything but it’s a kind of «Well I guess I ought to see him if he’s in town!» I only have one of his records (Utopia’s «Ra») and, no he didn’t play «Singring and the Glass Guitar (An Electrified Fairytale)» A solid and enthusiastic crowd!

The tower «Vertikalen» in Oslo at night.

We are now *really* in that season in Norway when it is dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home. Much as I love living in Norway, I am not lying when I say that it is actually a lot of hard work looking after myself in this time. Nydalen, Oslo 2025-11-03
