No, a poison ring is a giftring, without the e. Don’t know why.

In Norwegian same thing: giftering, “the state of being married-ring”. Jeg er gift = i am married. It also means “I am poison”, though.

Eat two litres. Toilet. Take two pills. Eat two litres. Not toilet.

 

Lac Blanc near Chamonix. The first day of our tour around Mont Blanc. My wife insisted to go up there; some hours later, she regretted bitterly as she hobbled down in the dark, no lamp, knees hurting, dead tired. Some days later, though, we finished the 170km loop and it had all blurred into being a funny story.

Coffee ice cream. Could eat litres at a time. Quit over and over, went shopping, came back with more litres.

Then I realised I was lactose intolerant.

Me and my wife’s motto: Vi klarer alt, translated as We can do/endure everything. Usually accompanied by us clinking our wedding rings.

One of the best moments I had when I walked around Mont Blanc was when we came to a col on a foggy day and passed a group of Japanese tourists just as the fog lifted and you could see the fantastic view. They burst out oh and an-ing snd even laughing while they thanked the relieved guide.

“Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.”

Most things I do, most of what we all do, we do *well enough *. Ain’t nobody got time for doing every bloody thing to perfection.

Never take powerball tips from powerball winners.

 

The best part of a walk in the French mountainside, the only good part as far as he was concerned: a green spot flat enough to kick his football as high as he could.
