In one of my favourite cafés, Skaperverket in Tønsberg. It's a bit far from home so I need an excuse to come here. Today's must do task was to post a parcel but that isn't really sufficient because there are plenty of post offices that are closer.

The next urgent thing is of course the propane for cooking and there is a small company in Tønsberg that refills gas cylinders. I prefer give my business to them rather than a big company like Bauhaus anyway.

And there is shop nearby that specialises in food that has a short best before date sold at a discount. I like such places, not just because they are cheap but because they often have things that the ordinary supermarkets don't

No cheesecake at Skaperverket today so I'm having an apple turnover with my chili mocca

Today's outfit is my long tartan skirt, genuinely made in Scotland, long Norwegian coat, white blouse, red cardigan.


As you can see in the second picture I also went to the NMS charity shop, it's just across the road from the grocery shop I mentioned. All clothes were half the marked price. I picked a top that already had red cross on the label indicating that it had already been reduced. The ticket said 70 NOK (about 7 USD) so I got it for half of half of that, 17 NOK (about 1.70 USD)!

I spent all the saving on a necklace that looks like it matches a bracelet I have and a pair of earrings.

Decided to indulge myself today so while my car is charging I'm having coffee and suksessterte in a nearby café.

It occurs to me that cafés should offer charging as a way of encouraging people to stop for coffee and more. The charging doesn't even need to be fast.

I'm spending too much time on YouTube marvelling at other people's creations, discoveries, and news. Here's the most recent interesting thing I've seen:

The Roman pot contains 2,000-year-old cream or ointment, complete with fingerprints.

Scrolled through YouTube's suggestions just now and came across this marvellous cover of Rammstein's Deutschland on a church organ:
