Keeping Occupied

1. I have been musing about which monk was what. I wondered whether Father Kevin was a composer. The rest I will have to think on further.

2. What do the Norwegians eat? Well there seems to be a lot of fish about the place, fishcakes of all sizes too and whale meat. Steer clear of that one. Seems to be a lot of pastes to put on bread, kaviar paste, mackerel paste. Fish, fish and more fish. I spoke briefly about the papers the other day and there is not much more to add as they do not buy a daily newspaper. Some of the issues I gather are around benefits for immigrants. Sounds like a familiar story.

3. I cook the dinners so the recipes are ones I brought from the UK. As Kaaren does not eat meat, most of the dishes are either fish or vegetarian. I have not done such intensive cooking for eons.

4. I have been following Times Online and noted the Irish President. I also noted the article by Aronavitch in which he tells of Obama's political strategy towards Europe, which will no doubt assist in his re-election.

5. Goodness gracious Jeohovah's Witnesses at the door. Had I been on my own I would have invited them in for some adult conversation.

Got to do lunch now.
