Early fall?

Still brrrrr.... Think the fall came early this year! But have had a sunny and nice week in Oslo! Done some shopping, spent some time at the physiotherapist and spent quality time with friends and family! And been eating my very own home grown sweet cherry tomatoes! Pretty good week in total!

Less wise?

A 30 min ordeal at the oral surgeon left me with one wisdomtooth in a see-through envelope, but still one experience wiser! Life with less wisdom seems good so far (yes, still taking the drugs...)

Summer in Oslo and strawberries!

Back in Oslo and enjoying my last days of "freedom" before I return to work in Kz.

There is something special about strawberries from up here in the
north. The season is very short, and the berries are absolutely
fantastic! And lucky me, I got to spend my Sunday at my parents house eating loads of strawberries and making jam! Nam nam!

Summer in Oslo!

Have had a beautiful week of summer in the city! Love Oslo in the summer! Beautiful weather, good mix of turists and locals, available table at my favorite cafe, plenty of parking spaces, and the light, the great Norwegian bright summer nights! No need to go to bed! Love it!

Back for a day!

Great to be back in Oslo, even though just for a day! K&K are going to
Spain for a week! Unpack and pack in a day, no problemo!

Gratulerer med 17. mai!

After walking in the parade, it was time for ice-cream, hotdogs and
games!
Now, sjampis and strawberries!
Hurra for 17. mai!

Time has almost come

Two weeks at home have gone by too fast. The bags are packed and flowers are watered. But there is one more day to go, and it is not just any other day, it is the national day! Hipp hurra for 17. mai! Kristin and I will get on the airport express-train in the afternoon. But before that there is parade, ice-cream, cakes, fun and games. Hipp hipp hurra!!

Home sweet home!

The travel home went by pretty smoothly. We even got all our bags,
with all our rugs, through with no problems! We did not even have to
pay for all the extra kilos! So now it is just for me to unpack and
enjoy being home after 6 weeks in Kz. Two whole weeks at home before
heading down again!

The great month of March!

March has been a great month! The 4 weeks off went by too fast, but it was very eventful and fun! Three major cities and a couple of birthday-parties later, I am back in KZ… NY was great, my birthday party at my place was super, London was superduper, and Copenhagen was very nice! And not to forget 24 hours in Amsterdam on Monday/Tuesday, it was super! The Dylan hotel was fantastic, highly recommended! Now 5,5 weeks in KZ is on the agenda. 4 weeks working and 1,5 week in Almaty and surrounding areas/mountains/national parks!

Aker New Year's Party

The annual Aker party was at the Oslo Plaza this year. Around 500 happy party people attended, and we had a fun evening! Pre-drinks at the Sky-bar, dinner with entertainment, and good table company, what more can you ask for!!

Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year 2010!

We had a great celebration in Oslo! Gjertrud made a fantastic new year's celebration dinner, and after the great dinner party we made our way to Frognerparken to look at all the fireworks! It was a cold night, yr.no said it was minus 14, but we had plenty of warm clothes on, so we had fun! A great evening!
I do not know what PØ wanted to take a picture of, the snow or our hats! But if you can not see us, it is three happy girls: Hilde, Gjertrud and me!

Winter wonderland

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! The view from my parents house out towards the Oslo Fjord on x-mas eve! And it has snowed ever since!!

After two days of eating and socializing with lots of family 24/7, it is now time to be lazy, drink coffee in our pyjamas, and just do nothing!!

Contract Law...

This heavy (1,9 kg) and glossy book dictated my life for the last three weeks!! Had a good study-weekend with Gjertrud last weekend, so much nicer to "suffer" together! Good luck with your exam in two weeks G!
I had my exam on Friday, so I have now placed the book in the bookshelf where it belongs! Hope it can stay there for a while... not so sure about the exam result though, but I did write a lot, and some of it is correct, so hoping for the best!

Now I just have to figure out what to take next... will it be maritime law or petroleum law...?? Will I ever stop doing this to myself...

Home sweet home!

It is great to be home! My apartment had a magic transformation while I was away! It is now fabulous! The living room and kitchen are both completely repainted and have great wallpaper on one wall. This is a picture of the kitchen wallpaper, so nice! The living room wallpaper will not show on a photo, it is almost silver-white with a white flower pattern, looks great in the living room! And last but not least, the old chair! It has been re-upholstered with a fantastic striped pattern! And the best thing of all, my great family had moved my furniture back in its place, cleaned the whole place, even the windows! And they had not told me! So imagine my face when I got home! I have been smiling ever since! Great to be home!!
