As some of you might now, I’m currently running a couple of projects at LEGO in Billund. As a lot of other kids (especially the ones who grew up into beeing engineers) I loved my LEGOs. I still love them. even though they’ve been stuck at the attic for the past ten years, I’ve brought them down and poored them onto the living room floor again. It’s epic good fun turning off the TV and spending a night building briks.

On the internal LEGO website the following link was posted yesterday from the New York Times: http://niemann.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/02/i-lego-ny/ - Pretty sweet way to combine toys and memories. Just wanted to share it with you all…

On my day off with too much wind for the roads and too much ice for kayaking, I went for a good cup of coffe. Now, the best place to do so, is right in my kitchen. Someone, I won’t say who, complained that the espresso post had been on the top of my blog too long - so here you go: Another coffee post (more…)

There is simply just nothing which can beat a cup of home-roasted-freshly-ground-propper-made-real-espresso in the morning…

It was a stormy winter weekend in the north western parts of Jutland. Gusts up to 38m/s made the waves huge and enabled you to lean 45 degrees into the wind. Epic fun. The north sea showed itself from its darkest side. The pictures just doesn’t give the storm justice, but Mette and I were still able to find sand everywhere (and I do mean everywhere) the following day…

We practiced the great fun art of dune-rolling, which I’ve tried to capture here:

I was refuelling my beloved Toyota today in Billund, where I noticed this sign on the fuel-filler-station… Is it just me, or…

Today I got the results from the final blood tests for the espein barr and a general check up. And as hoped, everything looks absolutely perfect, and I’m free to race as hard as I like and get as drunk as I like. I should, however, still expect for the body to take up to a couple of years, before it stops getting tremendously tired a couple of times a year.

So, we’re all good :)

Mette havde arrangeret en lille overraskelsestur til Borderup plantage ved Oksbøl, hvor Kim Blach har et fedt lille hus i skoven. Der var dømt hyggeweekend i den lille skovhytte der efter Nichlas’ tegninger på vægene har været under ombygning de sidste 13-14 år (og kender jeg Kim ret, så forsætter det sikkert ligeså længe endnu). Ingen el, ingen vand, ingenting. Back to nature. Stearinlys, gasblus og en gasovn til at varme lidt op var nu også rigeligt.

Lørdag fik vi kørt rundt i plantagen og prøvet de tre opmærkede spor op. Især det sorte som vi fik kørt nogle gange, viste sig at være über svedigt. Sjældent har jeg set så mange små sving og udnyttelse af hm som her. Kan på det varmeste anbefale sporet :)

I weekenden var der dømt familiehygge på Mols. De gamle havde lejet et sommerhus, bettesøs og Jokum var hjemvendt fra hovedstaden, bilerne var pakket med kajakker, kakaomælk, chokoladekage og guffemad - 112% hygge.

Det var mit første besøg på Mols, og det rendyrkede bakkede landskab med snørklede hyggelige veje og tæt-ved-Morten-Korch stemning inviterer utvivlsomt til en gentagelse. Både med kajakken og ligeledes med biken næste gang.

Det blev mest til Kajaktur og hygge, cyklen nåede aldrig at blive fundet frem, da jeg tog et smut til Slettestrand søndag, men kajakken var overvældende fin. Og så er det ikke så tit jeg kommer ud med Lisbeth - og hun skal helt klart bankes i form til Milos ‘09. Vi fik mor med ud i eneren som hun efterhånden er blevet helt glad for, så det er godt de gamle får lidt ekstra træning.

Var forbi Virklund for at hente kajakken inden turen til Mols og vil dele området lidt med jer…
