Month: April 2014

The 22 of April is my 75:th birthday. To celebrate it I will show YRVIND 10, serve buns and fruit drinks to any person having a positive interest in long distance cruising in small boats between 16: 00 and 18:00. If many people turn up the limited number of buns will go to the ones arriving first. Please do not bring flowers or other gifts. However if you like to support my project there is a donation button in the lower left corner on the front page of my website. My books will be on sale, no one will be pressured to buy books. It is not a found raising party  but a birthday celebration.

I am very pleased to be so old. I have had many problems with grown-ups during my life.

— Wait until you get older, they have said, and then you will realize your folly. Now I am not likely to meet many bureaucrats and such older than me.

My whole life has been an uphill struggle but hopefully from now on its all going downhill.

Below some pictures of what time has done to me. Please extrapolate.

After much research and development I am proud to present the innovative YRVIND SAFETY SPORK.

A spork is an eating device which combines the features of spoon and fork, hence the name. The ordinary inferior spork might be described as a spoon with a fork attached to the upper end of its handle When you want to use it as a fork you simply turn it end for end. This has the great advantage of saving you from the boring work of putting down the spoon and picking up the fork when eating different dishes. Besides this reduces the number of tools that clutter up the table. But beware; having a fork so close to the eye is highly dangerous, especially on a small rolling boat.

Thanks to the YRVIND SAFETY SPORK that problem is now solved.

There are other advantages it takes much less of the earths non-renewable recourses to produce the YRVIND SAFETY SPORK. According to basic axiomatics more comes from adding, less comes from subtracting. An eight-year-old girl can understand that.

Unfortunately the functionality of YRVINDs SAFETY SPORK is at present not optimal. However as can be seen below the products other advantages compensate more than enough for this minor flaw: It is easy on recourses, it is very safe, as it is made out of wood it does not sink, it just slowly floats away, it is stunningly beautiful, it takes less space and is lighter than the ordinary spork, it is biodegradable and ecological. As sharpii2 has suggested, it is excellent for dieting.

Furthermore, I am sure with a bit help from my readers the weakness of its functionality will soon be overcome.

One more thing: This Sunday we lost one hour due to shifting to daylight saving time. Our Government says, “don’t worry you get that hour back in the autumn”. I do not take that as an answer. I do not trust them. I like to know what happens to that hour during the summer. Like Marcel Proust I will be: “In search of lost time”.
