The other day I carried home a bucketful of veggies, some I’d never even seen before. There were green tindarine-like citrus (I thought they were limes, and was quite surprised to find they were orange on the inside), a purple / green leafy thing I’m still not quite sure about -loads. So much I could […]

Aikido seminar
4 hours of practicing the gentle art of people shuffling. This time featuring sticks and swords. Fun fun! I faced one of my demons there, the forwards roll. I once broke a rib doing something similar in Kung Fu class. That was run-jump-rolls and we were all noobs. Looking back, it’s a wonder no one […]

Yoga
Second yoga class today with lovely sun greetings. And a new sensation: This time I could clearly feel my chakras. Earlier the eye chakra has been the only one I’ve been able to get at. We went out of class with the straightest postures in the world thanks to the Downwards Dog. Lovely, lovely, lovely. […]

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 […]

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 […]
