On Technology

...is not my friend at the moment. Not that often that I'm in the proximity of a functioning computer, and when I am, I don't seem to have the time to blog. I will come back stronger in the near future ... WITH A VENGEANCE!

Teknologi... er ikke vennen min for øyeblikk. For tiden er det ikke ofte at jeg er i nærheten av en fungerende datamaskin, og når jeg er, er det sjeldent jeg har tid til å blogge. Men jeg kommer sterkere tilbake i nærmeste fremtid ... WITH A VENGEANCE!

Friday Fling!

Happy Friday & happy Easter holiday too!

So what yah up to? I'm spending the holiday in the city, working & relaxing, that's my thing. All my friends are either at home visiting their families or somewhere cold, wet & snowy. Heading up into the mountains to get a taste of the last of this year's snow is a typical Norwegian thing to do. I'm pretty sure I prefer my hot cocoa served by the couch in the comfort of my own home. Besides I can't miss out on the chance to make some extra cash (bank holidays are paid double - yeah!). Especially since I've found myself caught of guard by the Inland Revenue Service. "Baksmell" is what they call it in Norwegian, and all I'm saying is that it's a very substantial amount of money for little ol' me....well.

It's Easter & the weekend, and I'm working. Not a lot of spare-time left when you work from 12:00, but I'm hoping on squeezing in some fun. In any case I've finish at 5 pm on Saturday, and I've got the whole of Sunday off. I think F & I are perhaps invited to dinner at one of his friend's place tomorrow, and we're perhaps going on a little excursion to Folkemuseet at Bygdøy on Sunday if the weather holds (It's been raining on & off the last couple of days - today being no exception). They usually have a special exhibiton & special activities for the kids during the Easter holiday. I've always wanted to experience it, so I guess now's the time!

Have a fabulous Easter, (you) chicken!

Glad fredag & god påske! Hva skjer'a? Selv feirer jeg påsken i byen, jobber & slapper av, det er min greie. Samtligeav mine venner har enten reist hjem for å besøke familie, eller så har de reist på fjellet for å få en siste smake bit av vinteren, snøen & kulda. Det er liksom det nordmenn gjør. Sikkert kjempe kos, men selv foretrekker jeg å nyte kakaoen hjemme i sofaen. Vel, kunne uansett ikke gått glipp av muligheten til å tjene litt ekstra penger ved å jobbe på helligdagene, noe som passer helt supert siden jeg ble fullstendig overrumplet av Skatteetaten. Jepp, jeg har fått baksmell på skatten og det er snakk om et betydelig beløp. Stakkars lille meg...

Men det er påskeferie & helg, så hva skjer fremover? Som allerede nevnt jobber jeg masse, men det er heldigvis litt fritid inni der også. Det ryktes at vi, som i F & jeg, er invitert på middag til et vennepar av ham imorgen, og på søndag blir det kanskje en liten utflukt til Folkemuseet på Bygdøy hvis været holder (umulig vær de siste dagene med regn & opphold om hverandre). På museumet pleier de å ha egen påskeutstilling samt masse aktiviteter for barna. I alle årene jeg har bodd i Oslo så har planen vært å dra dit i påska, og det er det visst på tide å få gjort!

Ha en fantastisk påske, (din) kylling!

50 years with the Doc!

Hurrah for the Doc! Doc Martens boots that is - 50 years in fashion! April 1st was the first day of productions of this ever populare footware and thus the first boot type was suitably named 1460.

I've been contemplating adding a pair of Docs to my wardrobe for some time now. And I was actually planning on buying a pair while in London back in January. I just didn't get that far.

You can hardly go wrong with a pair of these boots, I think. Suitable for both everyday glamour & party-time, though I can't actually see myself doing the last one - I'm just too fond of my heels for that. And let's not forget, they're just so practical! Perhaps a pair in every colour? ;)
