Moment of panic

Whatever am I going to do when I get back to Norway where it's no longer cheap to order food in?

It's so easy to let laziness get the upper hand here. There's no need to go to the shops, to make food, to go to restaurants. A phone in your hand and a rough idea of what you'd like to eat will cover it. They'll stop just short of feeding you grapes while fanning you with palm leaves, but it sure feels like luxury nonetheless.

Of course, that's not to say that we do this every day. We've had plenty of days where we've prepare a nice home-cooked meal, or found a nice restaurant to visit. It's just that, after a long day at the hospital in the sizzling heat (apologies to people back at home reading this from snowy climates), it's nice to not have to worry about this.

Here's to the lazy! Just for celebratory purposes, get me a grape, will you?
