Mood: So mellow. Could be the bronchitis my mom gave me. I didn’t ask for it, and I texted her letting her know that it was nice of her to share hers, but to ask me if I wanted it next time. But I’m doing loads better now. I can smell again =D
Listening to: Ed Sheeran – Lego House It is SUCH an amazing song. I loooove it!!
So yeah.
I just felt a little chatty, so I thought I’d do an update. I for a haircut about two weeks ago. It’s all short now, and it’s a lot blonder. I look kind of like Madam Hooch in the first Harry Potter movie… or I can if I so wish.
I’ve also been gone for a week. Last week Jan and I went to Bergen to visit with the family and to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday. I even made him a crown. We left on Tuesday and that’s when my mom helped with my hair. She was poling my head with a crocheting needle to get the hair out of the bag thingie, and I was silently suffering. It’s a little uneven, but it adds to the charm. Now all I have to do is keep it blond. Do me roots and that. And I have somewhat given up, I think. No matter how I do my hair I will always look like my mother. I think even with a pixy haircut I’d look like my mother.
So on Wednesday we went fishing. Good thing my dad drove us in his Mobil home. We were far out on the cliffs of Sotra, and when we got there it was somewhat nice. So we started fishing. Didn’t get so much as a nibble. And it started raining, so we decided to head back. But by then the rocks had become slippery and I froze. I got to a point where I just couldn’t continue. Good thing I had my dad behind me. He said we could escape through the trees, which is what we did. We went back to the Mobil home and sat there, had a bite to eat, talked and enjoyed ourselves while it rained. On the fishing trip was Jan, my brother, my dad and I, by the way. They went back to fishing and I sat in the cozy car, reading science magazines and drinking coke. Jan did get a huge fish *shows with arms*, but he lost it. He had put it in the bucket and my dad went to get a knife, and as he leaned over the fish to kill it, it jumped out of the bucket, still hooked, and landed between some huge boulders. They tried to get it out, but the line broke. They could hear it flapping about under the rocks, but they couldn’t get to it. What’s good about that fishing story is that he had witnesses.
On Thursday we went shopping. I got three new nail polishes, loads of nail files, that Paul Newman balsamic vinaigrette that’s soooo good…and that’s about it. Oh, I also got a new book. The Fry Chronicles. It’s an autobiography by Stephen Fry. I had my mum order the books over there because I don’t have that type of bookstore close to me, and the ones here don’t have that book in their assortment. The book is good.
Throughout the week I was having problems sleeping. I woke up in the wee hours of the morning and struggled to get back to sleep. So on Friday I was a little tired. But we went to my dad’s birthday party, and we had a great time.
On Saturday Jan, my brother and I went downtown to check out the festivals. Bergen was having their annual Beer Festival and Farmers Market. I don’t drink beer, but it was great fun to see everything. Later in the evening after dinner, my brother, mum, Jan and I played cards and 10.000 (cards – American. You get loads of cards, ask for pass or set. And it’s all about getting the sets. 10.000 is a dice game. You use 6 dices and cast them, hoping to get 1000 points or more. You need 1000 to get on paper and you just take it from there… very entertaining and something we usually play when we’re visiting my mom and there’s alcohol).
On Sunday we drove home. I was getting worse and worse. Slept in the car, but it didn’t help. When we got home and had eaten I went to bed. I sounded like a broken espresso maschine. But on Monday I got some good medicine so I’m getting better day by day. Still… I feel like my head is about to explode when I blow my nose.
I worked yesterday, and I felt that it might not have been a good idea when I got there, but it turned out alright.
And now I have the rest of the week off… so I have loads of time to play Minecraft. =D
I built a lighthouse today. It’s on top of a very tall mountain. I just hope I’ll be able to find my way home by it.
I guess that’s it for updates. Nothing hugely exciting.
