h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

No lentils today. Rabbit. Slow cooked in a closed pot with carrots, onions, garlic, wine, thyme and a few other things and served with green beans and potatoes. Gravy with double cream and stuff. included

And after that Danish Champions against Turkish in Champions League. Should be interesting.

Red cabbage with apple sauce and minced beef sauce here...

The rabit sounds good, not eaten that in decades. Not sure we have a game butchers nearby..

11000 steps a day, the last 2 days. Still eating through the freezer contents, before its replaced on Friday.. lots of peas left to eat..

Gym in morning.

Please take care to stop eating before you get to the styrofoam insulation. It doesn't taste as good as peas.

Insulation might be good in this weather, though

Our rabbit was bred on a farm and I have already decided to buy at least one more. It was divine!

Copenhagen won the match and is now among the 16 best in Europe

Manchester United lost and can go on xmas holiday

Must try find a local game butcher
Finished the peas! A supprisingly tasty bulghur pilaf..

Gym was useful, gradually getting back to what I lifted before the opp..

What actually were the symptoms - if any - prior to the opp?

And how are those now?

By game butcher, I suppose you are not referring to someone who always tries to bend the rules to win the game, no matter what.

I never had any symptoms, and they only discovered the enlarged aorta by chance..
If left untreated eventually it would rupture and be fatal. So it had to be opperated on..

Quiet day today, defrosting freezer, so it cam be taken away tommorow..
May visit the pub later tonight

Sounds like you were just as lucky as I. Never had any symptoms but would not be here today if my doctor had not proposed a scan. Congrats to us

Kale with heavily smoked sausages today. Traditional winter food in these parts. Calls for beer, mustard and schnapps

Yes, lucky indeed..

Not sure why I havent posted the last few days. Been reading lots got the new fridge freezer gym, and pub yesturday lots of walking..

Gym tommorow..

Finally finished two projects Friday so went out and had a nice steak with a sauce of double cream and Gorgonzola and a delightful Italian

Saturday we had the traditional get-together in my little old society of new and ancient journalists. We had a gallon of gløgg (mulled wine) a few bottles of Jim & Tommy and some

So the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday was only and tv

Sounds good!
Good session at gym, 35 mins intervals on the eliptical, 5 mins more than since before surgery, and at 4 and 6 higher resistance levels. Cracking the weights too..

10600 steps today. Plus about 3 KM on the eliptical..

I hope you didn't have to pay for those cracked weights...

Trouble getting the number of steps the last few days. As a trigger I just entered a Santiago de Compostella challenge on my smartwatch. (you finish once you have accumulated the mileage) I'll let you know when I virtually get there.

Say hi for me in Santiago

May do some walking today but will have to chauffeur three ladies to a café also

Been to the gym today, and yesturday.. now up to over 40 mins on the eliptical
Pub last night, tommorow we have someone changing our phone and broadband to a new provider.. we will save a fortune, but it will be a hastle..

Been celebrating midvinterblót aka midwinter solstice today in the southernmost town of the nordic countries. Even if this years it's actually tomorrow that will be the shortest day of the year. Go figure.

Our German friends - The Rostock Seals - couldn't participate because a storm forced their ferry to stay in harbour for hours. As the name indicates they are winter bathers but swimming in the sea would probably have been dangerous anyway in this weather.

I guess you are right. Our massive storm surge barrier (Maeslantkering) automatically closed for the first time ever since it was built in 1991-97, so it must have been bad.

Now I wonder what the Southernmost town is.

Gedser, Denmark

Good thing you built that barrier in good time. I hope it lasts!

Thanks, that's what I guessed when looking in Google Maps. Given certain sensibilities in Scandinavia, I thought I'd ask. (Saw a T-shirt in Oslo, Norway, with a map where all of Sweden was replaced with water)


I think it did, because my feet are still dry and the alarms didn't go off.
