Friday 2nd November 2012

Bit odd today. One guy left and another took his place a bit more.

Got the plastic bottles sorted for returning to the supermarket on the way to the pub this evening. They also accept cans if they're in perfect nick. Not sure why they need to be perfect though as I can't see them being refilled? Plastic drinks bottles are a bit thicker in Norway because they are recycled but the cans feel just as thin as back home.

Weather a bit odd. Was a bit warmer in the morning but the forecast said colder in the afternoon. Took the warmer jacket but was also wearing a thin sweater on top of the work shirt. Bad move. It was a little too warm so will have to carry the sweater in the bag and just wear a shirt under the large jacket.

Tried to create a new spreadsheet template for the vessels to use in dry dock. Hope it'll be useful as we need all the help we can get.

At cake time, Ed the dude in charge of MGOS brought up the fact that Mick is crowing about the number of InTouch tickets that we've got answered. Must be down to Baard and Gordon coz all mine just got sent back to the vessels with requests for more information.

Tried to arrange some car insurance with NFU but they wanted a lot and then got concerned about the fact I'm away in Norway. Took me a while to find the direct dial number. Okay, post the freephone number, which most people would use coz it's free, but then also include a direct dial number on the website so that those of us outside the UK can still interact??

Cancelled a lift to IKEA from Minggus as we'd planned to go to Lancelot's again and I would be cycling to them in the morning.

Set up the bike gps with three routes for tomorrow's expedition using Bike Route Toaster. Printed a few screendumps from Google maps to assist in case the batteries ran out or I needed to plan a different route.

Walked straight to Lancelot from the office. Forgot about the plastic bottles.

Only had a couple of ciders and some 'dagens' which is the daily special which tonight was schnitzel and chips. Still cost a bit though. Each cider was 82NOK and the dagens 146NOK. A small glass of chilli nuts cost 42NOK? Won't be doing that again. Would rather take my own in future.

On the way back stopped off at REMA1000 for some milk, chips and tonic water for the gin I have in the cupboard.

Put the washing machine on for all the clothes etc except the weeks shirts. Spilt tonic water all over the floor when opening it straight from the fridge. Shouldn't have laid it flat as it fizzed everywhere.
