Hmmm....

Am I getting girly? Pink glasses, purple toe-nails and now I'm considering to buy a pink (or white) MSI U100.

Today was Nata's day. She had to cut her summer vacation in Poland short to get back here and find a new place to stay. Gosh, I don't envy her the job to find something now (with the competition from all the students...). Hopefully she'll get something really fast!!! And good.
After a walk in the city with her, I invited her home for dinner. We bought some "uer"


which we prepared in the oven. It was really good! (despite it's look...)
Ooo, I felt childish to play with it a bit when it was still uncooked. But it was so much fun! You know, having a muppetshow of my own.

And now, in search of a ultra light but good pc to carry around when I'm subbing (or going somewhere)

btw, the black version is out of stock...

Saturday walk

It's been a while since Mum, Eivind and I went for a saturday walk. Today we went from Skytterkollen to Brunkollen. It was great - not too warm, but not cold. And we were almost alone in the forest. The weather was changing a lot, so I guess the other ones didn't want to get wet...
Up at Brunkollen they had closed for the day, but the summer subs were enjoying their afterwork with a glass of wine. And the dogs were dozing in the sun. The cat, a fat, old black one, were SO cozy. It came for cuddles, and its paws were walking in the air all the time. And purring.

Otherwise, my days are filled with food, rest and friends. Wednesday, after coming to Oslo again after weeks of Stavanger summer, I spent the evening at Amandas (at last!) - we had a great talk!!
Grandma has finally got to some adventure; up to the cabin with Astrid, and friday I was looking at a car for Robi and me.
A blue Citroen Xsara Picasso. Quite a catch, at least in my eyes. Now we're just waiting for the contract to be sent to Robi, and then we'll be car-owners again. Iiiii!

Mood: ok, but not too happy with all the change in the weather. And I could do with my boyfriend around too

Blizzard

Monday I had promised myself to do some painting on the house. But the weather put a stop to my plan. It was like Thor had gone nutters. Even the house was shaking at times. I put out all the electronics and liv candles, made some popcorn (fast cooking) and had my brain occupied with The Otori stories and my puzzle.

Visit!

Sunday night we invited Liv for dinner. Kind of thank-you for lending me her cello, and taking good care of me. She brought this beautiful bouquet with flowers from her garden and a box of After Eight. A perfect evening!

Beach day

At 13 Liv picked me up in the centre. I'd bought some biscuits, licorice and strawberries and in my bag was both games, books and a frizbee. I was armed to my teeth for this beach trip. We went to one of the many beaches around here, and it was gorgeous! Didn't take any good pics of it, so here is my dinner... Thank you, freezer, for storing food for me!

Being social

After several days of solitude, I have a day out with Cissi. We're drinking coffee and shopping a bit. And look at my new sunglasses! Haha, new style.

More elsk!

Due to different causes, I'm in Stavanger and my cello is home. I knew Liv had an extra cello, so I called her to ask if I could borrow that one. "Yes", she said, "but I'm in Krakow so you can use my ordinary one".
So, now I'm playing on this beauty from 1761. Luxury!

Location: Stavanger
Mood: Privileged, but divided: it's sun and I should be outside too!

Drinking: Not enough water, but tea

Kjerag

Treat!

Eivind and I are out in the city to get stuff for our mountain walk tomorrow, plus additional paint for our terrace. We passed by Sjokoladepiken for a treat. Yum!

Revenge

This is Eivinds amazing beginning of his revenge in this Snake game. Great weather at Solastranda! Aaah, summer!

Wild strawberries!

What could possibly taste better after an 8 hour long drive (Oslo to Stavanger) than wild strawberries? They grow in our tiny garden, so I'm not sure the term suits them very well... But incredibly yummie!!
It is great to have my little brother for visit! :)

Top 3 list

My today's top 3 list is as follows:

1. The water kettle.
-it allows me to drink unlimited amounts of hot beverages such as tea and coffee

2.Summer edition of "Intellingent Life"
-Very interesting, and since I don't have any books here it's my only reading for now. Can't hang around the computer or TV the whole days. AND I can bring it outside when it suddenly gets warm and not windy..)

2.Purple colored nailpolish.
-Didn't expect this? Well, now I can cover my great, blue toenail! (without feeling like a worn out prostitute - read: with RED toenails)


...and then it's the matter of my puzzle. It goes without saying, I guess. For now, it's frame is almost complete (1 piece I can't find yet) and I have a few pieces out in the middle section.

A new friend

At least for the minute it took to take this picture. Now I hope it's back with it's friends talking of it's flying experience.

Solastranda

Kvetas last day here, and we took a trip to Solastranda. It was quite windy, so despite the sun we had to wear a lot of clothes. First we took the bus towards Sola (I always laugh when I think of this name. The Sun!), but Robert forgot to push the button - we got a bit longer walk. Then I figured Kveta would like to see Sola Ruin Church, I saw the sign and we walked. Quite far. It was warm (suddenly) and we passed lots of farms. Not what I remembered of my previous trip to this church. We decided to turn back, and guess what we saw next to the road, app. 100 m from the sign? Yup.
When we finally found our way to the beach I got a strong sence of deja-vu. I am positive I was there once before. Can it possibly be from the famous car vacation down the south-west coast of Norway? (The only thing I remember apart from looong hours in the car) was a face I drew on Eivinds foot!

Yum!

I can't really say anything but: YUM!!
Eivind, I think I know which one would be your favorite...

Charlottes iskrem

Look!

6 snails, an empty shell and two dead crabs. Something for Adrian?

Babelfish, please!

This is how we communicate at the moment. And while I'm looking through the dictionary for something useful, I sometimes discovers fun oddities. Škoda owners beware! To je Škoda (in Slovak) means; It's a pity!

Preparations

Mum and Grandma is putting together the flower decorations for the family party, celebrating Grandpas 90th birthday, tomorrow.

Last night

Of the Opera. Now I'm on summer holiday! Mum (murri) was sitting at 1st desk. The audience was enjoying it tremendously, I think the two russian guests were making a great show. And then, when I picked up a load of vinyl at Dad's place, I heard it was the last performance for Igor. May he have a great retirement (at the age of 42)!

Sunday in Stavanger

We took a stroll in the city in this fantastic weather. At first we wanted to take a boat out into the fjord, but we were too late. I had done a morning performance in the Stavanger Dom, and came home too late for catching the 12 boat. But, what was more perfect then, than to go to Sjokoladepiken and buy some homemade icecream in their own chocolate cups?
Now, back home, we're soon going to enjoy "fish a'la Robert" on the terrace!
