I was updating my iPad, when I realized that I am constantly updating a lot of apps. The majority of which I never use, and which are rather pointless to keep permanently. I could just delete them, and then, should I need them – it is possible to download again. Especially since downloading an app… Continue reading Virtual cleaning

Quotation Monday #31: Observation

It might have been either my confirmation or my sister’s christening – since she was making it at our place and not her own. But it would also frequently be among the staples for dessert at Sunday dinner at… Continue reading Norwegian cooking: Caramel pudding
