…Food blogging?!

Don’t worry, I won’t make a habit of it. To be perfectly honest, I have been out and about today, but I forgot to bring my camera. We went to see “Knight and day” at the movies (I haven’t made up my mind about it yet, partly because it had Tom Cruise in it, partly because the first half pretty much consisted of Cameron Diaz being dragged and thrown around like a confused and screeching rag doll) and we ate ice cream and walked around town and enjoyed the sunshine. It’s supposed to rain for ten days straight now, but it was good while it lasted.

There’s five days left now until my holiday starts, six days until I go to Crete. I’ve tried my hardest not to go and get my suit case and start packing, but I think this might be the evening where I cave in and bring it downstairs. Crete!

Oh and the salad is chicken and couscous, in case anyone were wondering. I’ll photograph something less lame tomorrow, I promise!

It’s been pouring down all day. We woke up to the music of street musicians outside, in particular this one trumpet player whom I think might have woken us up most Saturdays since we moved to this apartment. I love it, and it makes such a nice change from waking up to the alarm on my phone. I haven’t done anything exciting, really – we’ve tidied the place up, I’ve hung up curtains in the bedroom (we haven’t had any until now, because the windows slant upwards – the only ones who can see us are pigeons), and I’ve finally got blinds in my office/closet so that the neighbors can’t sit by their window and stare at me while I work. It’s just as distracting as it sounds, can you imagine?

I did have to venture outside at one point though, seeing as I’m Maren and Kenneth’s apartment-sitter this summer, and I got to snap a few shots of these dewy roses. I’m not really a huge fan of flower photography, but I couldn’t resist. They made me want to go out and buy a fresh bouquet, or even just grab one of these and run away with them, but I don’t think Maren’s neighbors would have been too pleased if I stole their roses ;)

Sometimes, your apartment will look like a computer exploded in it. Or three computers. It happens. Just go with it.

Today has been one of those hum-drum, everyday kind of days – I was too lazy to cook so we bought Chinese, the apartment looks like a bomb went off, and we watched an episode of Bones before realizing halfway into it that we had already seen it before. Mediocrity at it’s finest, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s almost weekend, my last weekend before my holiday starts, and I just want the days to fly by, quickly, so that I can go to Crete already. For the last few days I’ve been dreaming of beaches and sand and the sea.  I’ve started working on my fake tan, and I feel all kinds of ridiculous as I leave my usual shade of pale-as-a-ghost. But hey, if I’m going to be seen in public in a bikini in little more than a week, I’m going to be prepared!

I can’t wait. Norway hasn’t given us much of a summer so far, but really, who are we kidding. Winter is what we do best. This is why we have travel agents.
