From Donna, 50 places to see before you die – I’ve been to three… Florida, Niagara Falls and Iceland. I was going to blame it on the fact that I’ve concentrated on travels in Britain, but then found I’ve only been to five of the top 10 British places… So, no cookie.
I need to travel more.
I wonder how many of these my father has been to? A lot more than me, that’s certain. I need to send him the link.
Norwegian lesson of the day: på jordet, literally “in the field”; idom meaning roughly the same as “at sea”, i.e. lost, confused and generally not in control of the situation. If you want to express excessive “lostness”, the expression is på feil jorde, literally meaning “in the wrong field”, i.e. you’re not just lost at sea, you’re not even in the correct oceanic area.
Voice on the stereo: Avril Lavigne – Anything but Ordinary (and in the room, additionally: me singing along)
