Rayos Uva & new home.

Good evening

Pouring rain and evening-sun, outside the house a couple of nights ago.

New apartment, at last! This will be our third night here ^^ Love it! Feels good, finally being were we're supposed to be. Apartment's layout's abit odd, I would've done it differently myself. But still ;) There's much potential here, and as soon as everything's settled it will probably be great! We tried furnishing the livingroom today, and realized it wasn't really that easy. We made it at last, just a bit difficult placing two completely different and somewhat crooked coaches in one quite small room.

Our kitchen!

I did actually invite some of my girls over for a glass of whisky tonight; thought I could need some motivation for furnishing. But none of them could come! Hehe. So Rein & I made waffles instead. Also still enjoying our last glass of a really good red wine (wine and bathrobe, love it!). Will be going to sleep soon, then fix some more things in our apartment tomorrow. Also need to send in one of those stupid school-assignments ;) 

Waffles & wine

For the title; Rayos Uva is an excellent red wine, which we got to taste at my friend's hen-party in May. It's so complex, not the kind of cheap wine I'm used to ;) Not really expensive, think I bought it for approx. 150nok. Kanonkop Pinotage costs a little more, but it's reaaally good. Rayos Uva is from the Rioja-area in Spain, Kanonkop's from South Africa.

Oh, and I've been looking at a lot of furniture on the internet lately, come across alot -.- Hehe. I'd especially like to have a brand new gas-stove. Would be great. There are soooo many things I'd like to have; but right now I need patience and money. 

This one's "only" 95 000 nok ;p Sick.

I also love these, I might get Rein to build something similiar ;)

Home

The house seen from the outside.

It looks like the day will finally be here soon - when we can start moving into our new apartment! Tomorrow we'll start putting a few things up there, just to get some more space down here. We'll be attending this yearly training-weekend near Oslo, at Kvennin this weekend, and when we get back we'll move upstairs ^^

I'm just gonna add some photos before going to bed. Enjoy! 

Our bedroom! And my sofa ;)

This will be our kitchen! 

One's home is like a delicious piece of pie you order in a restaurant on a country road one cozy evening - the best piece of pie you have ever eaten in your life - and can never find again. After you leave home, you may find yourself feeling homesick, even if you have a new home that has nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher than the home in which you grew up. -Lemony Snicket

Autumn!

Leaves are starting to turn red and yellow, the rain keeps pouring, and the air's gotten a lot colder since the last time i wrote here.
I wish my mind was as nice as the autumn-forest, but I keep getting this uneasy feeling in my gut. What really bothers me is work; I don't like my job, and just the thought of working makes me feel sick. The problem isn't the job in itself, more the environment at the office. It doesn't seem like the leaders are interested in co-operating with the employees at all, which affects everyone there. The atmosphere is somewhat tense and  awkward, people are pissed off, but no-one cares to confront anyone to sort things out. I don't like being treated like a hired driver either; I'm there to clean, not to drive. Not always at least. I don't like pressure. And I'm afraid of doing something wrong. I think my main problem is that I take myself too seriously. I'm afraid. Afraid of making a fool of myself, afraid of showing that I'm human. But despite my fear I keep talking. About everything, too people I don't know; I keep telling them things I wasn't prepared to tell. In example, I keep telling the people I work with that I'm not used to driving, maybe even that I'm afraid. Because I want them to understand if I do something wrong. For some reason I want them to know that I'm nervous, even-though I try to hide it. It makes no sense. I make no sense.

But it's autumn! Yesterday, we stopped by a flea-market on our way to the forest! We ended up with a green sofa, quite old, very pretty, for 100nok. Amazing!

Up & Away!

Our last night at Fantoft Student-city. Just a few more things left to move, then we're outta here! Watching Twin Peaks now, trying to calm down abit.

We've done so much here, even though I've been complaining a lot about noise, people, thieves and stuff. This is the first place we've lived together, and I clearly remember the first time I visited him here. Also remember the first times we slept in his bed, and the first times we ate breakfast here. This is also where I first met his parents. We've cooked many good dinners here, taken many walks together, smiled, laughed & been angry together. So even though a part of me loathes Fantoft, I will always cherish the good memories with you <3

Hotel- breakfast when mum visited.

Home- brew :)

I wish I could believe in something bigger
More than these trees, these winds, these oceans
I wish I could believe what they tell me

I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave
We made our goodbyes and now he is settled down in the city
Where he doesn't have to be himself

He used to play an un-tuned guitar
While he sang about me and he sung about the stars
I used to dream about another time
And now it's all clear that's the only time I wish would come back

I wish I could hold on a little longer
Still my worried stomach and calm my hunger
I wish I could believe what they taught me

I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw an old photograph
And the picture that appeared, well it took me back to the time
When she was around

She used to play that old mandolin
And the moon and the sea invited her in
I wish that I had told her by then
But she knew deep down that she only wished that time would come back

A new day awaits me
I could be gone today
A new day awaits me
We could be here to stay

We used to wait for our heavy storms
To take us away while something new would form
I wish that I could have known by then
We all know now that we're never getting back to those times

Tomorrow is our big day, seeing that we'll be moving out for good. We have to clean out two apartments, move a lot of stuff, then go to Askøy viking- market where Rygene will be going to have a show, I think I'll just be the photographer again tomorrow :) Wish us luck! Nighty!
