Two weeks to go until Rome!

Tomorrow morning it's two weeks until we leave for Rome. Woohoo :) Booked a hotel the other day too, so it's getting sorted now!

I worked this weekend, and before the day was over a few people came to move half of the customer services centre (all the desks etc) to the other half because we're having a carpet put down. This resulted in my poor little desk being left all by itself (with me working on it) in the massive office! (See photo).

The week just gone we've managed to go climbing twice which has been good. Want to carry on doing that! This morning we met my mum and dad for breakfast, and had a walk through Oslo watching the Oslo marathon. A lot of knackered people there! Something had happened so the road was full of what I believe was oil. Was like walking on ice up all of Karl Johan! No idea what had happened and I can't find anything about it on the news either! I'm sure I'll find out soon enough!

Off to cook some dinner now before we're going to watch Tatt av Kvinnen (Invaded by the woman) at the cinema.

Day off and back to normal

Another week has gone. Got a day off work today, so just planning to relax and do a couple of things I've been putting off for a while. I'm also going to meet my dad a bit later as he's finishing work today. Had a more relaxing week last week, after the busy times with moving and visitors. Thursday I went climbing with Russ and Torkjel, which was great! Been waiting to do that for a while!!! Intending to keep it up  now, and at least go once a week, hopefully twice.

Saturday Lene celebrated her Birthday, so we went along to her houseparty. It was an entertaining night with a lot of new people - think we were about 40 people in their flat! As a result of Saturday night we slept in on Sunday and had a lazy first half of the day. But we spent the afternoon tidying the flat - so now it's nice and tidy here! Finally got it sorted. We then went to see Bourne Ultimatum at the cinema - Colosseum 1. I liked it, specially since it's the third Bourne film, I think they've done a good job in making it.

Guess this week will go fast too... Got a course to draw kitchen worktops on Wed and Thu, then I'm working Friday evening, and also Saturday. But first I'm going to enjoy my day off today and go climbing tonight!

Busy couple of weeks

Just realised it's two weeks since I last posted something here. That reflects the fact that I've been pretty busy.  Managed to pack all my stuff, and move. I handed my keys in last monday, so now I'm officially living in Oslo with  Torkjel. Poor flat has got a bit fuller than it was in the first place.

I've also had visitors from England which was nice. Ben and  Ros has been here this week. Yesterday we went out for my Birthday meal - seven of us. Russ and MO came from England too. Great fun, and way too many drinks. Had a very lazy day so far today... But need to go out and find some food soon...

Last weekend I went to "Lederløft", a scout leader weekend at Norways international scout centre. That was good. Went to see Liv Arnesen telling about her skiing to the south pole, and attempt to climb Everest. Also had a three course meal in the evening, and did a few activities. All in all a good weekend.

Now I'm looking forward to a "normal" week with climbing and cycling and work. Should be good! :)

Moving...

The guy I'm renting from rang me yesterday and told me he's managed to rent out the flat to someone else from the 15th! Woohoo! Means I can stop paying my rent. Only got one challenge now... It's called packing and moving. Guess I better start properly on monday. My aim is to be out by Friday... Should work out I guess.

Weekend now. I worked yesterday which was boring. Long day at work, but we made up for it in the evening. Lene came round to see me and Torkjel, and we drank a few beers. Afterwards we went out in Oslo and drank a lot more beer! Generally a brilliant night out. Had a great time! I'm sure there will be photos to follow...

Thursday I had the day off, and decided to cycle from Hvalstrand to Oslo. My bum still hurts, but apart from that I'm surprised my legs weren't aching. It's about 24k after all...

Anyway. Maybe I should go and wake sleepy Torkjel up. We're off to Enebakk for a Birthday dinner soon. Getting Får i kål for the first time in years! Yummy!
