Daily life [by Anna]

Today we have no guests, but we have a long list of things to do. The tasks range from clarifying some outstanding issues with Booking.com (pretty bad experience working with them so far!!!) to screwing our new hangers to the walls in all the rooms.

Meanwhile, here are some curious things from our everyday life.

We make our own yogurt. We got the recipe from our Serbian friends: heat up two liters of milk, mix in a small yogurt and leave covered for around five hours. In our temperatures it is enough to turn the milk into a yogurt, which can be then used twice for the next batch.

One thing I omitted on my "I miss" list was my grocery vendor on Storgata in Oslo. Those huge bundles of coriander for 12 NOK (4,7BRL/1,5EUR/80RUB)! Here is what we can get of coriander. As you can probably see, only about 30% of it are actually usable for cooking!

Today Dady called me to show me lizard eggs. I had no idea lizards lay eggs and I had no idea what they look like. We got to see these, as Dady was watering today and scared the lizard off, so she didn't have time to dig a whole in the sand for them. Here's what they look like. Dady made a little "house" for them in the sand so that the eggs get a chance. Let's see what happens.
