Im off work this week and Im having that lovely Monday feeling of knowing Im as free as a bird for 8 whole days. Ahhhhh, heaven.I love my job but talking and hearing norwegian all day is exhausting (...

We opened our cabin up for spring at the weekend and it was so lovely to be back there. We scrubbed the place, painted, put up shelves,blinds and generally gave the place some much needed TLC after t...
I now have a personal number (a real one, not a temp one) therefore I exist.I now have a doctor (this is a nice feeling)I no longer feel rage when norwegians do not make eye contact/give a little wav...

Since having a job again (and money!) I have been having a good old spend on Etsy which has been bloody lovely! I just have to be careful not to spend more than 200kr (about £20) each purchase becaus...

Is anyone else sick and tired of winter? Im fed up of going to work in the dark, wrapping up warm, heavy bulky footwear, terrible fruit and veg in the shops,dry skin and ice. Im longing for norwegian...
