Nordic slow summer living / calm, relaxing days /silent vlog

A little trip to "Telthusbakken"- an area with small quaint wooden houses, picking wild flowers, making rhubarb jam and vaffles + a rainy summer day.
//
RHUBARB JAM
500 grams of rhubarb
225 grams of sugar
2 teaspoons of grated ginger
Cut the rhubarb into small pieces (you can peel the rhubarb if you prefer). Add all the ingredients to a pot, bring to a boil, let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Finished!
//
WAFFLES
4 decilitres flour
1 decilitre sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cardamom
4 decilitres milk
3 eggs
100 grams melted butter
Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the milk gradually. Add the eggs and then the butter in the end. Leave for 30 minutes before making the waffles.

Well, Mr I. You effectively hypnotised me with today’s superbly sensuous video - starting off with Princess Mochi - who never fails to flood my heart with joy. I simply cannot get enough of her! She is just so adorably, mesmerisingly cute 🥰 and those eyes! Deep pools of love! She is truly a magnificent little puplet who is inordinately blessed with two wonderful Dads. You are both so calm, a balm to anyone who visits this delightful channel. And it’s lovely to hear a little more of your voices - thank you for sharing these extra little snippets of who you are. It’s abundantly clear how observant you are of every little detail. I am transported by the magic of your videography masterpieces. I loved being shown all of those charming “fairytale” homes, each one so prettily painted and decorated with colourful gardens! The allotment gardens and many lovely views, the sounds of rain falling on puddles, dripping off leaves, running into drains - of the happy laughter of unseen little children enjoying carefree playtime on a perfect day. The pretty, yellow, button flowers you picked to showcase so simply in your lovely home, your enjoyment of the waffles and rhubarb jam you’d made so lovingly - there is just too much to mention. Please know that I noticed and enjoyed every scene and moment! Oslo is a beautiful, very well maintained, orderly city. It doesn’t feel at all claustrophobic from what you show us 🫶🏻🙏🏻

[@introvert-and-dog]

It’s always a delight to read your thoughtful and observant comments, I somehow see my video again, but, through your eyes. Thank you for taking the time to write! I love how you notice the small details like the sound of the playing children. There is actually a kindergarten opposite one of the colorful houses. The children’s laughter makes the area even more like a fairytale. And of course it’s so lovely that you share our love for Mochi! She is one special dog, that is appreciated and loved around the world. How very wonderful!! ❤️

"One day just melts into the next" you said Mr.I, and that is the feeling I get when I watch your videos, that the images, captured by the eye of an artist, slide smoothly into each other and tell me stories that have to do with the lives of the three of you, your culture and your beautiful place in the world. That feeling of peace, your peace, that crosses the screen is inspiring and priceless. What you share is a gift and as such deserve my gratitude. Hugs sweet beings and keep on going.

Hi Sweet Mochi and Dads. Those homes were very charming. The older I get the more I strongly desire living in a village type setting. Although I can see the benefits of city living for convenience and accessibility. Maybe you might consider pad training Mochi for those rainy days. I've trained all my dogs to have the option to go out or pad. On those cold cold wintery, snowy days or heavy rainy days or days when I'm not feeling well I'll lay out a pad, point at it and they know. It's so stress free to have both options. Those waffles looked so onolicious. Wishing you three a great week ahead and am already looking forward to seeing you again next week. Take care.

[@introvert-and-dog]

I’m torn between cities and villages! I like both, but I think I do enjoy cities a little more, as long as there are lots of parks. Good idea with the pads! Very impressive that you have taught your dogs to do use them!😀

Hi, Good day to you 3, & especially Mochi who steals my ❤every single time! Her mannerisms & sweet kind eyes remind me exactly of 1 of my fur babies, (I lost all 3 of my doggy babies last year due to old age related health complications, they were 11, 12 & 13 years old and the loss is unbearably indescribable) but Mochi brings real warmth to the screen and our 💕 She is simply a dear heart. Your videos are therapy for the soul, I diligently follow you & "Lost Forest" for the same tranquil comfort. I forget ANYTHING else I've subscribed to, but these 2 channels I look forward to eagerly and catch what you've posted as soon as possible. BTW, those picturesque houses in a row were truly charming! Your videos are honest portrayals with no contrived glossing over of details, which make it so authentically heartwarming! Thank you for sharing as always. May you guys & Mochi always be blessed. Bye!

[@desh7120]

What a beautiful comment and, I’m so sorry your beloved fur babies are no longer right beside you - their lives are so very fleeting. We are at the same stage of life with our two seniors, both 13. I make a conscious effort to make every day count, because I know they are numbered and I cannot bear to think of life without them, but that day will come. Sending you a heartfelt hug 🤗 🫶🏻

@@introvert-and-dog You are spot on with that approach, Mr I. Yes, these are the last two - Milo was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus a year ago today (equivalent to type 1 in humans). It was a steep learning curve for us and changed our lives quite dramatically. He has been so tolerant of all the ear pricks, twice daily insulin injections etc. we have him wearing a CGM permanently. Noodle, his sister, had two mast cell tumours removed on Tuesday this week. She is wrapped up in dressings and bandages to protect her surgical wounds and to prevent her getting at them. She, too has been so good! It breaks our hearts that they are going through this, but we have to stay strong and continue giving them the best care possible, for as long as they still have a decent quality of life. To look at them, you’d never guess - they both still look so healthy.

 This is the first time I've ever seen celery jam. It's delicious, isn't it? 
 I really like the way you film city life😍 It seems as if the viewer is right there, in the turbulent flow of city life, watching it from the outside. And at the same time there is such a feeling of calmness in soul. Thank you very much for the vlogs. It’s great that on your channel we can enjoy videos, but also share our stories🤍🤍

Such a nice story of Chester on the train befriending the passengers. Love stories like this, thank you🥰 Mochi is so good on the bus, it took some training though😂 So glad you enjoy my vlogs with the city life. A nice compliment coming from such a great photographer like you. Take care! Love from Oslo❤️

Waouh quel beau quartier, c'est incroyable. Je comprends quand vous dites que cela ne vous dérangerait pas de vivre dans une de ces maisons, c'est tellement beau. Pendant mon séjour d'une semaine je mangeais du fromage brun tout les jours au petit déjeuner sur mon pain. Le goût est sucré et le fromage est crémeux, un peu bizarre au début mais on s'y fait.

Oh my gosh .. Des … thank you so much. You are very kind. Was busy earlier today, babysitting my grandson’s two dogs. Coco a miniature dashound, who doesn’t come when she is called. However, our Maggie plays very sweetly with her and a very territorial chihuahua, Poppy, who snarls and snaps at our dogs. Poor Moni pretends not to see her, she either sits alongside me or at my husband’s feet. The things one does to help family member’s out. I hope that the weather has been better for you Des. We have had some very strong winds and rain 🌧️ but no damage has been done. East coast of Australia has had some very cold weather, especially Victoria where my son and daughter live. Snow on the snowfields. My daughter and son-in-law , who work extremely hard, he is a builder and Rebecca is very high up in the public hospital system, in charge of the operating theatres for 6 hospitals, get fed up with the cold weather and dark days, so they are off to The Cook Island 🏝️ for 10 days. Very exotic. Looking to unwind and to just relax. That would be hard to take, haha Well Des thank you again for your kind comments, and I wish you all the very best and hope that you have a great week as well. Judy 🇦🇺
