Sniffing to the cake.........

Killing time at Zurich airport, in Swiss lounge. Not really killing, since it's kind of my hobby to visit the lounges, see what they serve and how it looks like.

I must say, it was an disappointment. Hot food only around lunch/dinner hours. Other time, ony snacks (chocolates, peanuts, candies) and fruit. Kind of healthy if you stick to the fruit, but if you are like me, you find fruit pretty "boring" and feel tempted to the sweet stuff.

The lounge here is divided into several sections. It's split into two directly at the entrance and I was guided into the left one. Then we have three floors. I found PCs on the 2:nd floor so occupied one seat there. Looked what they had to offer and had some chocolates. Then I just happened to look into the 1:st floor. They had different stuff!
Cherry cake, chocolate cake and blue toble.

After I write this, I will go up to the third floor /smokers section/ to see what thet have to offer. It will smell, but hope it's worth it.

Här fångas jästsvampar.

Här bakas det (eller, det förbereds för bakning).

m's senaste hobby - surdeg på vildfångad jäst.

Tydligen kan man fånga jäst från allt möjligt. Fruktskal.... rågmjöl....morötter...

Alla människor ska ju naturligt ha svamp/jäst levande på hyn (alltså inte fotsvamp men snäll fungi av nåt slag). Jag föreslog M att man kanske kunde prova med hudflagor, men han tyckte det lät för oaptitligt. Jag håller med, men det är lite häftigt ändå!
"Bröd bakad på jästsvampar från min sommar-solbränna" typ.

Greetings from south

We are now at airport lounge in Jo'burg.
Spent one week in Durban, on the way to Cape town.

Did few dives this weekend and swam togather with Sharks, cool isn't it?

We've done quite a lot of self catering but the desserts are tempting.
My jeans feel dangerously tight now....

SA vacation: Some pics


This is Blyde river canyon.
According to some sources, the 3.rd biggest in the world.

Before we reached this point, we were almost out of petrol, and no gas-station in sight. I was very scared at least.

Southern hemisphere



南半球に来ております。
縦に約10時間飛行、久々のエアフランスの機内食のデザートが美味しくて大満足。
こちらは冬です。でも日中はスウエーデンの夏みたい。

Vi befinner oss på andra sidan, nertill sett från er hemma.
Upplever under dagtid något som kallas för "svensk sommar". Det heter dock vinter här.

As we might have complained before, we may only be *noisy* between 11am-2pm on Saturday. Nothing on Sunday.

With two professional project manager wanna-be-s in house, we did a process document, failure analysis and simulated step by step iterations. OK, we are ready.

Nobody home.....


久々の更新です。なんて書いてながら読んでいる人いないだろうけど。

昨日マニラから帰りました。日曜日にMが南アフリカに出発したとき長期パーキングに乗り捨てたクルマを日拾って帰宅。つい最近まで近所から走っていた空港バス、先月廃止になったようなのでクルマで帰れてありがたや。画像は着地からパーキングでクルマを拾い高速を走っている様子のGPSログです。

寒いけどピリッとした空気と青空が気持ちいです。

Hemkommen från Manila. M åkte söderut mot sydafrika i söndags så jag plockade upp bilen som avtalat i långtidsparkeringen ALFA på Arlanda. De har nyligen ändrat rutten på flygbussen så det inte svängerförbi här i området längre. Alltså var det väldigt bekvämt att åka hem på dethär sättet.

Min nya leksak var med mig under resan och jag slog på den i smyg på planet....
Se vad fint spår jag fick på landningen och taxningen till gaten!
