Hurtigruten – et cruise langs Norges kyst
Petter og Hilde hadde alltid drømt om å reise Hurtigruten. En kald marsmorgen sto de endelig på kaien i Bergen. «Dette blir som en bussrute, men med hav, fjell og sjømat!» lo Petter spent.
De gikk om bord i MS «Kong Harald». Lugaren var liten, men varm og koselig. De slengte fra seg sekkene og gikk rett ut i salongen. Utsikten derfra var enorm! Store vinduer viste fjorder, snødekte topper og små røde hus ved vannkanten. Hurtigruten seilte nordover – forbi høye fjell, bittesmå fiskevær og fyrtårn som sto alene i havet og blunket med lyset sitt.
Ved middag spiste de torsk og rømmegrøt. «Smakte mye bedre enn bussmat!» sa Hilde og tok en ekstra skje. Utenfor vinduet danset nordlyset over himmelen i grønne og lilla farger.
Dagen etter gikk de i land i Ålesund. De klatret opp de 418 trappene til Fjellstua og så hele byen spre seg nedenfor dem. I Trondheim rakk de akkurat å kjøpe varme kanelboller før skipet tutet og seilte videre nordover.
«Tenk at folk også bruker dette som vanlig transport,» undret Petter mens de sto på dekk og så solen gå ned over havet. For noen nordmenn er Hurtigruten bare en vei fra A til B. Men for Petter og Hilde var det et flytende eventyr – ett magisk stopp om gangen, med havutsikt rett fra lugaren!
English:
Petter and Hilde had always dreamed of traveling on Hurtigruten. On a cold March morning they finally stood on the quay in Bergen. «This will be like a bus route, but with sea, mountains and seafood!» laughed Petter excitedly.
They boarded MS «Kong Harald». The cabin was small, but warm and cozy. They tossed down their bags and went straight out to the lounge. The view from there was enormous! Large windows showed fjords, snow-covered peaks and small red houses at the water's edge. Hurtigruten sailed northward – past tall mountains, tiny fishing villages and lighthouses that stood alone in the sea and blinked with their light.
At dinner they ate cod and sour cream porridge. «Tasted much better than bus food!» said Hilde and took an extra spoonful. Outside the window the northern lights danced across the sky in green and purple colors.
The next day they went ashore in Ålesund. They climbed the 418 steps to Fjellstua and saw the whole city spread out below them. In Trondheim they just managed to buy warm cinnamon buns before the ship honked and sailed further north.
«Imagine that people also use this as regular transport,» wondered Petter as they stood on deck and watched the sun go down over the sea. For some Norwegians Hurtigruten is just a way from A to B. But for Petter and Hilde it was a floating adventure – one magical stop at a time, with ocean view right from the cabin!

In this episode we're starting a new little series about small bits of helpful and useful expressions, that are common in everyday speech. And a very helpful way of not repeating the whole phrase in a reponse to a question, we often say f.ex. "Yes, I can" or "Yes, I do". Ex: Kan du sykle? Ja, det kan jeg. Vil du spise? Ja, det vil jeg. Sykler du til jobben? Ja det gjør jeg. The rule is this: kan, vil, skal, må + er/har in the question => repeat the verb in the response. All others verbs as question => put "gjør" in the response. Fill-ins: Er du glad i dag? Ja, det ... jeg. Kan du spille gitar? Ja, det ... jeg. Drikker du kaffe? Ja, det ... jeg. .. Great!

The condition for using "sin" is as follows: "If the subject is in the 3. person (he,she,they), and the object belongs to the subject, replace hans/hennes/deres with sin/si/sittt/sine! :) 3. The two most common "traps" are; - be sure what the subject is - with subclauses; find subject and object again FIll-ins: Han reiser på tur med kona …….. (his own). Han og kona ……. (his own) reiser på tur sammen. Han sier at kona ……. er hjemme i dag. .. This might be the hardest item in the grammar - but once the subject/object part is more clear, everything becomes more easy!

The rule is this; The subclause itself remains exactly the same as before, but afterwards you put a comma, and then the verb. Example: Hvis sola ikke skinner, drar vi hjem. Hvis bussen ikke kommer, må vi løpe. To fill in: Hvis barna ikke er sultne, _______ (spiser - senere - vi) Fordi han ikke var syk, _____ (de - hjem - dro) ..

(han - sykler - aldri - at). Britt drar på ferie ............................... (hun - er - syk - ikke - hvis). Butikken stenger ...............................

Episode 8 (of 8) from the beginning of Marcel Proust's Masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time". The process of falling asleep and waking up has been thoroughly detailed in these opening pages - alluding to the process of imagination, reading, the literary world and it's relationship to the real and physical world. With this opening Proust is in some ways laying the ground for a journey through 4.000 pages of life and thinking, and the gradual development of the mind from early childhood into an adult stage of life. Vi avslutter med dette åpningen av På Sporet av den Tapte Tid, med Marcel's tanker om minner, forestillingsevnen, og forholdet mellom drømmer, litteratur - og livet.

Marcel is remembering a series of different rooms from his childhood, from both summers and winters with joys and troubles, and how the habit is a mitigating mechanism which could help us to accept various situations and environments which we at first might react very strongly to. This points to a much bigger theme in the whole work - regarding Habit and its nature! I denne episoden går Marcel gjennom en rekke av de værelser han har sovet i som liten gutt, og de effektene de hadde på ham. Tilslutt reflekterer han over vanens natur og hvordan man kan tilpasse seg situasjoner som først trenger enkelte tilpasninger for å bli beboelige. Thanks for listening!

Sat, 04 Jan 2020 - 14 - Advanced Reading #5 - På Sporet av den Tapte Tid
How our mind reconstructs itself when waking up, and whirls through thousands of memories and elements before a clear awereness of and connection to the current moment or day, is formed. Om hvordan prosessen når vi våkner bygger opp en forståelse av tid, sted og livssituasjon - men også gjenskaper og forsterker gamle minner som blir mere levende for oss når vi har blitt fullt våkne igjen.
