I like the way they sell cakes by writing ‘butter’ on them, even if there’s no butter in them. Butter is far from a word of honour where I’m from… The library here has the most fantastic books, and they can be borrowed a whole year! I got a most fascinating book on the Picts […]

oct 1 – underwater
Tonight I’ve been diving! That’s a tick on the before-turning-30-list. All the exciting things I get a chance to do while I’m here:) The main lesson I learnt; don’t dive if you have a cold! The headache was terrible. Other than that, diving is amazing. Very relaxing, very zen. You get a whole new dimension: […]

oct 1 – practical stuff
There doesn’t seem to be any of those cheap hardware and nicnac shops that are so abundant in Norway here like Clas, Pytt i panne, Nille and soforth, the closest I get is M&S. So I went there today, hoping to find some of the real handy things like tin opener, scissors and pans. The […]

26. sep – bikes
The everyday is closing in on me. But first there is weekend! Boyfriend is in Nürnberg for the weekend without a functioning phone, and I’m feeling the withdrawal syndrome heavily. Are you having fun, dear? Looking forward to the photos! Photos, yeh. I still haven’t found the proper cable for my camera charger, so I […]

25. sep – adjusting
Every time I sit down I feel how tired I am. It takes all my will to get up from the chair.. It’s a bit of a walk to school, and the buses seem to be quite unpredictable. That’s ok, it’s a nice walk, but together with the seemingly infinite numbes of things and names […]

The flat
Bigger than I thought, and in better shape than I expected for a college hall. Nice view to the park (said the tree lover). The bed is awful, though – I’m going mattress shopping tomorrow. There’s a lot of noises in the house, I guess I’ll get used to them after a while. It’s an […]

[Night] woken up by fire alarm
The girls I was to go out with left before I came (8.30pm), such things happen when I’m a lazy ass and haven’t found out where I can top up this stupid UK phone no… It’s annoying having to deal with all these little things that run so smoothly back home. Oh well. I’ll be […]

Sightseeing by bus
Bah. One bus never came, and on the next I totally missed the city centre and found myself back at the halls again… It’s hard to tell the difference when the same small granite houses are everywhere.. :/ Well that means you’ll have to wait till tomorrow to get this update, as I’ve got power […]

Eclectic eccentricity
Say that fast five times… My favorite-of-the-moment jewellery shop. Handmade treasures made from old jewellery, antique keys, even used clocks. Very artistic. http://eclecticeccentricity.com/

Contact details
I realise I’ve been terribly hard to get in touch with lately, so here are my contact details for reference, not least for myself – I reckon myself as good with numbers and carry something in the twenties of PINs, phone nos and other numeral codes in my head, but the mile-long UK phone no’s are […]
