Feels good to be back at a 5min/km pace on the mixed surface hilly run I tend to do. I'm sure a few days off and going for beers with friends this weekend will reset the progress, though

Sweet! Just as I'm checking in for SVG-CPH-HEL tomorrow night. In-flight entertainment sorted, and one of my favourite topic countries too

Last Sunday's 21 km, 1300m elevation, day-trip is still making itself felt in my legs, but not complaining #Hiking #Norway

When we got back from Hong Kong it was straight into work mode for me. However, shooting RAW gives me an excuse to take some time and go back to edit and reminiscence now weeks later. It was real! #HongKong

Pushback 1h 20 min late. I think we'll be the last flight to take off from OSL tonight by a good margin

Captain has arrived, 1 hour after scheduled departure time, looking a bit harried. Didn't hear any applause when he entered the aircraft

Mikael Leppä @mikke.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
The cabin crew is now microwaving a meal some passenger had carried on board. Not a bad move in terms of prepararation, as there's no Captain to be seen

Another big plane with few lights that doesn't show up on @flightradar24.com taxied past. Must be some head of state heading home

Thanks to the delay I spotted the Japanese government B777 taxiing out. There were some imperial family attending the funeral of King Harald V here in Oslo today

Captain is even more delayed. Maybe his warp drive failed

No Captain in sight yet. Anyone on this plane with four stripes who could help out?

Mikael Leppä @mikke.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Plane fuelled, luggage loaded, all boarded, but we are missing the Captain. FO said he's coming over from a flight that arrived late, and assured us that he's moving to our plane at warp speed

I'm neither Norwegian, nor from a country with a monarchy, but living here and happening to be in Oslo in the week of the funeral of the late king Harald V does give a sense of solemn occasion

We certainly chose the wrong week to do a couple of days with team workshops in Oslo, but rescheduling wasn't an option either despite the king's funeral. At least we'll be well protected with all the police presence

Yes, only one elevator tucked away at the end of a narrow, dead-end corridor is not ideal with big luggage

Shinagawa is a bit limited on hotels (The Strings is nice, though), but it has easy access to Haneda, Narita & the Tokaido Shinkansen and is dead simple to navigate

I had the exact same experience when some tourists asked me for directions to the train station in German. I used to speak decent German 25 years ago, but since then Japanese has taken up that precious 4th language slot in my brain, and they got a head-scratcher of a mixed language answer

I guess this would be on the main SAS fleet. They also have subsidiary SAS Connect using 320neos, which are in full SAS colours, but at least not yet equipped with wifi, and then SAS Link that mainly seems to operate Embraers and CRJ's, also without wifi

Without saying your age, what was your favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

Having driven in Japan for years when visiting my wife's family, I've never realized there was a 60 limit, and always defaulted to something like 30 in residential areas due to the road conditions. On larger roads some Hokkaido folks really push the pedal, though

Täällä Norjassa asuvana on ollut hienoa nähdä edesmenneen kuninkaan nauttima luottamus ja kunnioitus. Hän vietti viimeisiin aikoihin asti aktiivisesti aikaa ihmisten parissa ympäri maata, myös täällä Stavangerissa. Tänään paikallisella työpaikalla on kiitollinen ja harras tunnelma

Now SAS realized they don't have a plane yet for us and sent an update for 90 min delay at the original departure time. Could have chilled in the lounge longer, but as CPH is the hub there was a small chance they'd find another plane for the original time
000
Mikael Leppä @mikke.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Not surprising that we're looking at an up to 2-hour delay on the last leg, but the complete meltdown of SAS communications is surprising. I can see the plane just left BGO on @flightradar24.com but the CPH gate still insists we're boarding. Without plane or gate agents. No updates in app or email.

We would not have minded to stay a bit longer in Hong Kong, and apparently the feeling is mutual: flight out delayed by 40 min so far

The Peak Tram in Hong Kong may have the views and the tourist crowds, but the real peak tram experience is to snag a top front seat of and old ding-ding with the windows open
