VIGELANDSPARKEN AFTER DARK

So, I'm off to Oslo for the week!
Eddi is having a conference there and I'll do a two in one and visit my friend Mia too, who moved there a couple of years ago. I went to see her last year too, it was cold and windy, we drank wine in the evenings and didn't make it up until after dark in the days. Let's see if I'll be able to catch Vigelandsparken in daylight this time shall we?

(Mia & I stuffed with winter clothes posing in ice cold wind for my camera's self timer, set at a minute and a half, one year ago. We were the only ones around in the park at that time of night :)

I 'M NOT SAYING I WILL GET IT BUT I 'M NOT SAYING I WON'T (OR AM I?)

I am not one of those to make New Year’s resolutions. No promises, ever.

I have however tried it with improvements - the first time being last year. I was going to improve my manners of taking care of my paper work – organize my accounting, billing, bank and business papers weekly instead of once per the quarter– but that went horribly wrong. I actually became less organized than before. So this year I should probably give up on even trying in order not to fail again and feel all bad afterwards. (I didn't after last year's fail, which is probably a bit alarming. Or annoying. But I’m just born with this 'No Worries No Hurries' attitude towards these things and so far so good.)

Giving up in advance is however not the preppy spirit one is thought of to have around this time of year, ey? So if I would try it with a small restriction instead of an improvement this time? To stop buying things online all the time and instead save up for that mintgreen Smeg I have been babbling about for a very long time already, which I actually am going to get us this summer and put into a bigger kitchen! (Yey!)

That of course means that I will not for example buy this to-die-for jacket from Trashy Diva. No way.

A jacket that could only be used a few months per year due to the climate around here and with me already having enough of practically everything it is of course out of the question. Not even though it also comes in leopard print (oh! oh! I’m having a real hard time here now)!

So I have no intention of getting myself either one whatsoever, ahum, I am merely presenting it to you in case anyone is up for some spring jacket inspiration?

(Oh ♥)

EDDI AND THE BOATS

I'm looking at pictures from warmer days and soft evenings last year. Oh summer!


At a time when you nostrils freeze together after standing some two hours outside loading a ship it always feels as strange to think that six months earlier we were, and six months later we will be walking around in sandals and short sleeves. The temperature difference will be some 45-50 degrees C. Sometimes even as much as 60.
That's pretty extreme.

Although it's very very beautiful outside it is still painfully cold and I can't wait for warmer days again (when I don't have to stuff myself that much anymore- or at all). Oh summer!

AMAZING

I found this one via Pekka. It's rather amazing.



Well worth the twelve minutes of watching. Can you believe all that was done by computer?
