Thanks for your comment. To be honest, I don't really know whether the apples are McIntosh or a Norwegian type (though I suspect the latter). I bought a couple of apple-trees at a local store two years ago, when I finally got a house with a large garden :)

I have to come back to you about that - I am not THAT familiar with apple types, but I bought a couple of apple trees two years ago when I finally had gotten a house with a large garden.

It's a wonderful feeling to be able to pick such beautiful apples from your own garden 🥰

As a Norwegian very familiar with the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, I just had the privilege to be interviewed by the French-speaking Canadian Newspaper @ledevoir.com regarding whether President Trump may win the Nobel Peace Prize. Enjoy the article: www.ledevoir.com/monde/etats-...?

Un Nobel de la paix hors de la portée de Donald Trump

Le populiste en rêve, mais recevoir la bénédiction du comité Nobel norvégien relèverait d’une réalité parallèle.

It is an honor to see my first @eos.org news article published online today, regarding gamma-ray flashes from thunderstorms. I hope you all find it interesting!

Recent research is revealing new insights into terrestrial gamma rays, including that thunderclouds emit gamma rays far more often than previously thought, write @arveaksnes75.bsky.social & colleagues from the University of Bergen. eos.org/features/a-n...

So sorry to hear about your bankruptcy. I fully agree that healthcare should be a human right. Here in Norway we have to pay a minor sum for healthcare every year, but only up to 300 dollars. So all expenses above 300 dollar a year is being paid by the government.

My dear US friends: Remember that today’s struggle is not just about stopping Trump/Musk, but to have the universal welfare benefits people in most developed countries enjoy. Also, it is wonderful to see the “Fighting Oligarchy” Tour with Bernie and AOC❤️ thenewgeneration.blog/2025/03/22/f...

Fight the Oligarchy, America!
