After a short but intense weekend, Christian Starr left. I saw him off at the bus this morning, we had to get up at 5.00 AM, but what don't you do for your friends ( Read more... )

Last day. It’s a bit sad, really, but I’ll be happy to get away from this weather ( Read more... )

We went to Cisse’s tonight. We ran some errands in Nesttun centre and then we left with the bus to Bergen at 6.40 pm. We stopped by a café where a girl from New Orleans worked, she was cool! Had a very funny accent. But after that we met up with Cisse and his friend Kristoffer and Cisse’s sister Ida. We had some drinks and so in his apartment, a ( Read more... )

Today was a day when we didn’t do anything at all. We made pancakes, apple pie, practiced some Romeo and Juliet, which keeps getting better. It’s been snowing on and off the entire day. And it’s my turn to get some more fire wood. I don’t like doing that in the dark! Ah well ( Read more... )

According to Christian, ( Read more... )

And so I went. Stefan came along to the airport, so we got up at ten o’clock this morning. I remember the time I went to Italy, and we had to get up at 4-or-so AM. 10 AM is much better. We almost missed the bus though, as that line always is too early. But Stefan ran and caught it, so we made it in time. The bus drive to the train and the train ( Read more... )

Everybody is carrying something, whether it’s bags or babies, burdens or secrets.

A lot of city folk carry bags. Computer bags, briefcases, lunch bags, shopping bags, the bag that goes with a stroller, handbags, every kind of bag.

Tourists also carry a lot. They carry their precious rucksacks and cameras, those tiny silly things you carry ( Read more... )
