Well blow me if we haven’t arrived to find that after a few heavy showers and some thunder, the city of Oslo, cradled securely in green forested slopes, is baking like a northern potato in an Indian summer. <\/p>\nWell blow me if we haven’t arrived to find that after a few heavy showers and some thunder, the city of Oslo, cradled securely in green forested slopes, is baking like a northern potato in an Indian summer. <\/p>\n
Mr Roy Everson, whose nice Bed and Breakfast<\/a> we graced this week, told us that normally the temperature would be around 12 C this time of year, but according to the dial here, it’s still 18 C as the evening sets in. Everyone is happy at this late summer sunburst and making the most of it in the many bars and cafes which seem to line every sunny street, radiating out from the city centre on this bustling Friday night.<\/p>\n Last night we saw the most fabulous performance at Black Box Theatre<\/a> by Sons of Liberty<\/i> called God Hates Scandinavia, which I will review when I next get a chance.<\/p>\n Earlier on we visited the Munch Museum which was celebrating the return of The Scream and Madonna, two of Edvard’s best works. I had a chat with the security guys – presumably the very same crew who watched two years ago as armed and shooting men ran out of the gallery with the paintings, firing shots. The atmosphere was charged, and the media arrived. I shot some images of them<\/a> hanging around outside the main entrance like guilty schoolboys and girls. <\/p>\n Later we visited the Horticultural Gardens and went for a stroll down to funky Gr\u00f8nland, which has been pedestrianised for the weekend and has cheap entertainment, tacky fair rides manned by evil looking men, and nice stalls out selling exotic food, though I’m not sure my stomach can handle much more of it right now.. I am self-propelled, if you get my gaseous drift, and I sincerely hope you don’t.<\/p>\n
