In Norway it is very common to have an electric car and some, to be honest look totally ridiculous. Most of them are from the manufacturer 'smart', have three sets and look like an egg carton. They are very quiet to run and it can be quite terrifying if you are walking because you cannot hear them coming behind you. They come in handy however, as you can often drive around traffic barriers in them and get into parking buildings for free. Also, many places in town have parking places reserved for these cars and you can charge your electric car while you shop.

| Not even sure what this is... But it made me laugh |
However, I spotted this electric car the other day while out walking. It is the only electric sports car on the market in Norway. Because it is electric it is subsidised by the government so it is a reasonably affordable. Because of this it has now become very popular.

Hey Briar - Ms Gabbusch shared your blog with me - it's great to see you're getting stuck in and enjoying yourself - I'm very impressed with the knitting - I've been doing a bit of knitting and crochet myself during my recovery (occupational therapy) but nothing as complicated as those patterns! I'm back at work now (all fixed) and enjoying catching up with staff and students. Keep those blog posts coming they're very entertaining - cheers

I`m glad you enjoy it! It must be nice to be back at work again too and I`m happy things are `all fixed`. You will be happy to know I am taking geography in Norway and its really fun! We went to a GIS seminar on Tuesday for GIS day. Not so fun for me as I couldn`t understand much but the powerpoint was entertaining! I will try to keep blogging.... It is hard to find new things to write about. Maybe a new one this weekend... Briar :)
