Making the world a sweeter place, one spoonful of sugar at a time.
Ah! 1st of May. My favourite month. The start of the new season. Spring. It’s the time when flowers bloom, grass turns greener and days gets brighter. But today, it actually snowed a little bit here in Oslo. But it didn’t last long. It was mostly like wet snow. And rain. But I guess it’s […]

A few more days and we’re almost in the middle of the month of August. Oslo weather is very unpredictable now. One day it rains and the next is sunny. Just yesterday I was on my way to work, I looked outside the window and saw that it was raining. I’ve put on my rain […]
