Langevågen and future Birthday plans...

It's been over a week since I posted something here now. Time flies, and I forget to keep track!

Went to Langevågen (near Ålesund) to visit family over the weekend. Apart from the weather being rather horrible we had a good time. Shame to think that the weather in oslo was gorgeous though! Friday we got up at 4! in the morning and got a flight from Gardermoen. Spent the morning in Ålesund walking up to fjellstua, visiting Atlanterhavsparken (looking at fishies and spiders) and having a wander round the city centre. The rest of the weekend we spent in Langevågen visiting family, eating lots and going for a walk where we got soaked! Was hoping to go fishing for mackerel or crabs, but unfortunately the weather didn't allow it.

Trying to plan my Birthday now! Decided to go out for a meal and a few drinks. Think a few people will tag along which will be cool! Even get a friend visiting from England! Woohoo :)

You've probably noticed that I'm not posting a lot of photos on here. Hopefully I'll have my own computer moved next week, so it'll be easier to post photos, as I struggle to understand this computer (Linux). Don't know how to download photos...

Yesterday Torkjel bought a bike, so intending to get a bit more active now. Hopefully going climbing twice a week, and cycling once a week. Went to see the climbing wall on Monday, and my fingers were itching. The bouldering wall there is really good. Climbing wall isn't overly big, but it all looks good anyway :) Climbingwall here I come!

Finally weekend!

It's been a long week at work with a lot to do! I'm looking forward to Lene coming back to work on Monday so I don't have to be on my own on the team any more!

Was pretty knackered after work most days, but managed to do a little bit anyway. The beginning of the week is a bit of a blur, and I can't actually remember what we were up to. Wednesday morning I went "home" to check post and a few other things, before going off to work. I also wrote my notice for the flat, as I'm moving in with Torkjel. :)

Thursday some of Torkjel's colleagues had to leave work because of cut downs, so we went out for a few (or a lot of) drinks with them. Some of them got slightly more drunk than others. Fortunately it wasn't overly late, so still managed work the day after ok.

Friday was a looong day at work, before we went out for a few beers again. First time I've been to Justisen, and I quite liked it. There was a lot of people there! Sat outside drinking beer and eating pizza, before heading home for an early night in bed. 

This morning we wanted to do something active, so we got
the bus to Enebakk and went for a walk there. It was lovely weather, and we saw some nice views. Managed to find to geocaches too! We met another geocacher by one of them. He looked a bit nervous that I'd spotted him trying to look for the cache, until I told him we were cachers too. Had a chat with him, before we headed back to the bus (walking about 6km an hour to get back in time!).

There were an awful lot of blueberries out in the woods today, and we got inspired. Unfortunately we didn't have anything to put them in. So when we got back to Oslo, we went to the supermarket and bought blueberry jam and had pancakes for dinner. Yummy!

Fortunately there's one more day left of the weekend! :) Think we might go to the cinema and watch a new Norwegian film that's come to the cinemas.

Long week, IKEA furniture and cake :)

Going back to work on Monday was not much fun! In fact, it wasn't great being back this week at all. Was more keen on having more holiday really! But hey, work is life, and that's what gives you money to do other stuff. So I'll just live with it I guess! Didn't really help that Torkjel had the week off, and I had to get out of bed on my own in the morning...

Didn't do too much during the week. Went for a bbq on monday in Frognerparken, because the weather finally decided to turn nice. Wednesday morning we went walking around Oslo to find some furnture (which we did :) ), and when I went to work at two, Torkjel came with me to buy a wardrobe and bookshelves. Thursday they were delivered four hours later than planned, because the car that was supposed to deliver them managed to crash. Doh!

Thursday night I went out to meet Anniken and some of her friends, and  Torkjel went to a concert with strange music (my opinion... hehe). Someone came home very late and was very chatty. :p Up again early on Friday morning for the last day of work for the week. Woohoo! Friday night was spent relaxing as we were both knackered (for different reasons... ;) ) and built a couple of bookshelves. Finally the weekend was here! Did some shopping on Saturday before we started building more IKEA stuff and I made a massive chocolate cake! Wondering how on earth we're going to finish it off... Think we both need to bring some to work...

Anyway, it's sunday now and we're finishing off the building work. Not looking forward to another week at work, but then again it's weekend again soon... :)

Back from Scoutcamp!

It's Sunday night and I've been back from scoutcamp for about 24 hours. And I'm still knackered! It's hard work sleeping on a therm-a-rest in a tent for a week!

It's been a good week though. Been playing around with abseiling for kids, tried a zip wire that was 170 meters long (wooooohoooo!) and generally had a good time with friends. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as nice as we hoped, but it wasn't raining all the time... Just every now and then. We also had sun a couple of days - enough for my nose to get sunburned.

I don't feel overly ready to go back to work tomorrow, but guess I just have to. Been to see the Simpsons movie today, which was good. Also went out for a nice chinese after.

Guess I better go and hang up some clothes and head for bed as work starts early tomorrow.

Nevelfjell and caching

It is Sunday evening and the weekend is pretty much over. Just got back from Lillehammer.

We went up there on the train on Friday and didn't get time to do much more than have some dinner, chat with my mum and go to bed. Saturday morning (well, that's if you call 12 o clock morning...) we drove to Nordseter and walked up to the top of
Nevelfjell. It's a great view up there! Weather was lovely too. After that we drove
across the mountain to Hafjelltoppen, and down to Hafjell. There we took the new gondola to the top (well, I was a bit disappointed as it wasn't actually the top...) of Hafjell.

We then proceeded home to search geocaching.com for caches in Lillehammer, had some waffles and lovedly lamb dinner. After that we tested the nightlife at Nikkers, before a late night in bed.

Sunday we drove up to Vårsetergrenda and walked from there to the top of the skijump, down the skijump and down to Lillehammer city centre and found a few caches. Dinner tasted really lovely after that! :)

But now we're back in Oslo, and five more days at work are waiting before holiday! Woohoo! :)

Fed up with rain...

Last weekend we went to Enebakk to visit Torkjel's parents. On the Saturday we intended to go for a walk to place a geocache. Unfortunately it started to rain before we'd walked 500 meters, and we hadn't brought any waterproofs! I know, stupid thing to do these days... So we ended up placing three geocaches not overly far away from his parents, and going inside to relax.

Sunday we went to see Harry Potter at Colosseum, and afterwards we walked the streets of Oslo finding ten geocaches.

The rest of the week has been spent at work and pretty much relaxing in the evening. Went to Frognerparken on Monday to BBQ as it was nice weather for a change.

Just one day and one week left at work now, before I'm heading off to scout camp. Doing abseiling there, so should be fun. Just hope the rain stays away!

Off to Lillehammer tomorrow, so please let us see the sun, or at least keep the rain away!

Blog is working!!! Woohoo!!!

Yay! I fixed my blog! All I had to do was change the template. Doh!

So guess I'll be updating again now. I've just seen that my last update was 25th April... Well, that's a loooong time ago! Don't think I'll attempt to write what I've been doing in the meantime.

Short story:
- Went to England to visit in may (great time there, got to see loads of friends!)
- Been working
- Taken quite a few more geocaches
- Been working at Skogmuseet in Elverum
- Taken a few walks around Oslo
- Taken a few walks outside Oslo

That's about it really.

Getting ready to go to Enebakk now. Going to go for a walk (maybe publish a cache!), and have dinner at Torkjel's parents. I'm so glad the weekend is here!!!

That's it for now! I'll post again very soon!
