From a quick walk from town...

photos taken with my mobile phone camera just before lunch during a 25 minutes quick walk from town (need to get my bike fixed, so I cycled to town and had to walk home).

[Updated April 16, see the end] A blogger writes that critical examination of science, research, scientific reports and material is the core in science and exactly what makes science more reliable, in long term, than only (pure) thinking (she had seen a TV-program on a case about research on ADHD - Christopher Gillberg in Gothenburg). Without possibilities to such examinations the science isn’t much better than whatever general thinking she writes.

She writes that when a researcher prevents the, for all science, basic controlling of a researcher’s work then he isn’t a serious researcher any longer.

She writes something about scientific-methodological grounds…

Yes, that about questioning… And things which cannot be examined or questioned - what's that about? Both here and there... Also see earlier posting on similar topics?

And one cannot just mechanistically change the state of affairs in ones life? Or one CAN, but isn't that exactly as one has behaved and done ones whole life, and what has this meant and led to?

Has energy been bound up (with all which follows from that)? I don't know...

Addition April 16: Read this blogposting on the blog Biology and Politics, which is more about the Academic world (this posting is though in Swedish)...

The Roald Dahl telegraph…

Springtime for Roald:

“April is the coolest month… or, at least, that’s what Roald Dahl thought! He once wrote, ‘Now at last we can say that spring has arrived, and with it come flocks of summer migrants, all those little birds that flew away to the warmer countries in the south when it began to get cold last October. Most of them go as far as North Africa and don’t ask me how they find their way there and back again because that is one of the great mysteries of the world.” And it’s true, too! Despite it snowing in Great Missenden only last week, there are new flowers in the hedgerows and birds chirping in the trees. And after scoffing a huge pile of chocolate Easter eggs recently, some fresh air and exercise outdoors is a jolly good thing, too!

Not only is April a good time for going on bracing walks though. Share the joys of spring with your friends by sending them a scrumdiddlyumptious postcard from
roalddahl.com... either tell your chums how much you love them with THE BFG, or remind them of how silly you think they are with THE TWITS.”

“‘I have never met a man,’ said Grandma Georgina, ‘who talks so much absolute nonsense!’
‘A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men,’ Mr Wonka said.”

"Roald Dahl adored a good Knock-Knock joke...

Knock-Knock!
Who's there?
Wooden shoe!
Wooden shoe who?

Wooden shoe like to know!Who's there? Wooden shoe! Wooden shoe who? Wooden shoe like to know!" type="hidden">

Knock-Knock!
Who's there?
Tank!
Tank who?
You're welcome!"

Easter boogie-woogie...





April-weather in March. It's so nice spring is on its way and the days are turning longer. I have vacation - again! I long for when I can sit on my balcony again. I have fixed up here and bought Easter-flowers. Made lunch after a trip to the grocery store.

I got the band above in an email from a friend. They played a boogie-woogie, an Easter boogie-woogie? A bit enervating after a while! :-) Or after a rather short while to be really honest, even if I laughed when I saw it. They sounded in the email!! But not here. Thank goodness! :-)

In the evening: Now new baked bread soon, still warm! Fixed up here... Nice...
