A random walk around the neighborhood. I like it when it rains too.
You might remember that I have this awesome backyard at my disposal?

My Facebook feed is bouncing from drowning me with all the sad stories of the world to bathing me with sunlight. The summer in Norway has been incredibly sunny and warm this year, a phenomena most Norwegians have managed to share on FB, in one way or another. Dream summer – drømmesommer. And it lasts, while my feed otherwise grows darker.
What will I remember of this period? The flowering parks and afternoon barbecues, or the distant wars and fleeting moments of melancholy?
Two things are certain: I had a higher opinion of people in general when we couldn’t comment and share news stories, and I felt the world was a better place before I started following the news.
The more you know…
I moved into a new flat last week, in Oslo. I really liked living in Drammen centre and the daily walks by the river there, it’s beautiful. (Posts about Drammen >>) Buuuut, YES, hooray! I’m officially back in the capital, closer to my friends, big events and potential work. Fantastisk!
This is my new place!
Although the process of moving is always tedious, stressing and generally no-fun, having settled in (yeah, I call moving most of my stuff to a place “settled in”) is beyond GREAT. A new home is a chance to start anew, a new beginning, a possibility to start on a different life.
I’m ready.
Oslo was the host city for EuroPride 2014, which ends today. Milli was there OFC.
It was cold yesterday, but the colourful Pride Parade through Oslo made it a cheerful and gay Saturday.
I love the idea of celebrating diversity. Hooray for the brave and daring! #lovemoves

I love being alone, but the evenings are getting longer every day. I figure I’m not the only one ready for some quotes ’bout loneliness (thank you for providing, goodreads)
Luckily for me, I have a dearly preciousss ball of fur to converse with!
Yes, we can!
Kjære Caroline jobber i Gamle Fredrikstad (Gamlebyen) i sommer, og Milli ble invitert til å besøke henne. Jeg ble med. Vi utforsket et par bortgjemte hager, usynlige for folk som vandrer langs brosteingatene, med mindre en port tilfeldigvis er åpen slik at en liten hund kan bli nysgjerrig på grillduftene som strømmer ut. En logrende pelsdott får tilsynelatende alltid en varm velkomst. Milli besøkte ingen museer, men hun fikk snust på noen statuer og en kirke. Jeg tror hun reiste tilbake til Drammen fornøyd.
