Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #bodø, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Tonight I took out a copy of the new and old #Edda from a public street #library located inside one of the few remaining historical (now non-functioning) public payphone booths once operated by #Telenor, somewhere in #Bodø, #Norway.

    Need to remember to put a different book back in return on my next visit.

  2. People are #disgusting...

    Local #Rusta shop has my preferred #hairbrushes. Unfortunately some people still think it's okay to try them out on their hair in the store...

  4. CW: Comic strip for Pondus that mentions Bodø

    Frame 1

    Pondus and his son Påsan are watching TV.
    Presenter's voice from the TV: "Ok, Inger-Merethe! For 5000 and a canary bird! Where can you find the Norwegian Aviation Museum?"

    Pondus: "Namsos!"

    Candidate's voice from TV: "Eh..."

    Frame 2:

    Same setting, but now Pondus looks annoyed.

    Pondus: "Hallo! Namsos!"

    Candidate on TV: "Eh..."

    Frame 3:

    Pondus now is poking a finger at his temple, while looking more disgruntled.

    Candidate: "Eh.. Bodø?"

    Pondus: "NAMSOS, you breadbox!"

    Presenter: "CORRECT!"

    Frame 4:

    Pondus looks taken back.

    Pondus: "... Or Bodø! About the same area!"

    Påsan: "By plane!"

    Presenter: "Okay! For 10.000 and a soda machine..."

    Påsan: "You'll get this one!"

    Apocrypha

    To be fair, Pondus probably is confused because the Namsos control tower (which AFAIK was the first one in Norway?) was moved to the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodø around the year 2000. ;)
    (Attached photo of the Namsos control tower in Bodø taken from norwegianaviationmuseum.com/co, as I couldn't find my own in my #PhotoArchives..)

  5. Yay, #Internet at home is completely gone now, likely because of power disruption in the #electricity net in #Bodø...
    Already seen the lights flicker three times, so I guess it's not #HomeNet's fault this time...

  7. A wooden cutting board that clearly already have cracks in not just one, but actually shows cracks in multiple on the shelves?
    No thanks #FlyingTiger #Bodø.

  8. Saken omhandler allerede klager på offentlige anskaffelser, avslag på innsyn til Statsforvalteren, tips om mulige kritikkverdige forhold til Finanstilsynet og mer.

    I stedet for å legge alle kortene på bordet foregår det en desperat kamp for å holde alt hemmelig og frasi seg mest mulig ansvar.

    Slik bør ikke offentlig forvaltning i et moderne demokrati fungere.
    Det er med god grunn at folk har rett på innsyn.

  9. CW: re: death (Patrick Archibald, aka @pla), eulogy

    @claudiom
    #RIPpla indeed. Those who need more details can find them at lsngl.us/@alrs/105524182082875

    In his honour of @pla I've attached a photo of one of my #bikeTrips to #Bodøsjøen in #Bodø, #Norway

  10. It's been #snowing on and off here in #Bodø, #Norway since yesterday already...
    While it may look nice at first, it'll soon turn into disgusting gray sludge and ice, and I'm not looking forward to months on end of it again...

  12. Encountered a pretty cool looking #Chrevrolet in #Bodø's city centre earlier this week. 😍

    I don't care much for #cars in general, but a semi- #oldtimer like this does make me stop, look and maybe take a picture. :)

  13. One of these days I should make an actual #running #playlist on #Spotify with the #music *I* like.
    Tonight however, I think I'll try just tossing some #FrankKlepacki #CommandAndConquer music and maybe some #90s #CaptainJack in there, and hope I'll get some nice #cadence tracks when I need them. :)
    Could try adding some #TwoStepsFromHell to it as well.

    It's almost #midnight here, but we got lovely weather and #midnightSun up here in #Bodø, so it should be a nice #dailyExercise #run!

  14. This #photo, taken during #7ToppsTuren2016, shows the #island #Landegode as seen from #Keiservarden, a #mountain plateau named after #German #Emperor (#Keiser) #WilhelmII who supposedly visited the #mountainPlateau on the 19 July #1899. 'Varden' references the #cairn of stones at the top.

    #7ToppsTuren is an annual #hike where participants visit 7 mountain tops. So far I've done the full 7 one (25km) once, and the shorter 3-tops (10km) twice.

  15. Always love it when a #priceTag doesn't match up with a product. 😏

    Over at #CoopObs #Bodø they apparently think that these children's #pictureBooks about #puppies and #kittens, and #dinosaurs are in fact the #Toro spice packages for a Bolognese dish and tomato soup: mastodon.social/media/QIZn6Bus 😂🤔

  16. CW: photo of hairbrush with hairs

    In the local #Rusta shop here in #Bodø there were a bunch of hairbrushes on discount.
    On closer inspection, it looked like someone had tried not just one, but several out on their hair, as there were several long hairs twirled around the brush bristles...
    Seriously, #WTF?
    I can understand you want to know if the bristles have the right firmness and spread, etc, but you don't use a #hairbrush you haven't bought, on your #hair...

  17. @clacke hah! That reminds me of when I tried to photograph the clock at #CityNord shopping centre in #Bodø, #Norway: photos.app.goo.gl/dNtVivdT2Ha6

    I wonder what framerate or exposure time you need to properly capture it.

  18. @codewiz here in #Bodø they recently introduced #ebike rental stations. After registering online, you can take out a bike from one of the stands and park them at any of the other rental stands across the city. Haven't used them yet myself, but @Siiw definitely enjoyed their convenience during an #Ingress event where she had to visit a large number of unique portals.
    #bikeHelmets weren't much of a thing as I grew up in the #Netherlands, but as traffic increased, so did their adoption.

  19. There was a lovely #fiery #sky over #Flatvold #studentHomes in #Bodø, earlier tonight.
    A bit sad that the season of #midnightSun is already gone... soon there will be snow everywhere already...

    So, I'd better make sure I get to enjoy some wonderful sights like this on my #dailyExercise walks...

  20. I'm glad we actually got an advanced notice from #Bodø Kommune this time about them cutting off #water for maintenance, unlike last time.
    This time we made sure to have extra buckets of water for flushing the toilet, a drip container for washing hands and some refilled bottles and full kettle for consumption.

    It's another reminder that we should actually get some jerry cans which are permanently filled with drinkable water, and other #emergencySupplies.

  21. Talking #Dutch with the #DutchCheeseMan at the #InternationalFoodMarket in #Bodø earlier today, kinda makes me wish I knew some other Dutch #expats here with whom I could occasionally talk in my mother tongue.

    Sure, his conversation was mostly meant to (successfully) sell me some excellent Dutch #cheese at a price I would likely never have bought it for back in the #Netherlands, but it felt surprisingly good to not just speak Dutch again, but also to hear it.

  22. The #MistyMountains ;) as seen from #BodøØkologiskeBesøkshage

    Went out last night to the ecological garden in #Bodø last night, where we have a #garden patch ourselves, and share labour (and the fruits of it) on the shared crop fields. Took some pictures of the crops and flowers there, as well as this view of the #mountains in the distance.

  23. I'd love to play a bit of #Diablo3, #ReaperOfSouls, but it's already 2 at night (though you wouldn't say so by how light it still is outside), and I guess I should get some actual sleep.

    Tomorrow some more #DIY attempts, and probably ordering of some more parts for future home improvements, as well as a visit to a pop-up garden centre, here in #Bodø.

    Maybe I should bring my #DSLR for some plant and flower pictures, as I haven't used that #camera for way too long...

  24. Years ago I wrote this #blog post with suggestions on what to do while visiting the #Netherlands, with a focus on things I liked to do there as a native #Dutch person: blogspot.fixato.org/2013/08/th

    I really need to write a follow-up to that, with some other things and places I have fond memories of, as well as places I like to visit in #Bodø, #Norway, where I'm now residing.

  25. @thj
    that sounds really good actually. Being born and raised in the #Netherlands and having moved to #Norway, it still surprises me there are so few #streetfood vendors around, at least here in #Bodø. This place could definitely use for instance a fish stand that's quite common throughout the Netherlands, selling for example brined #herring with pickles, deep fried #kibbeling, a bun with smoked mackerel or eel, etc.
    Even just plain snackbars seem far less common over here.
