From 30c to -15c!!!

My friend Merethe is coming home in some hours, she has been for the last 3 months in Brazil; last days she stayed in Rio where at the moment they have around 30c, So now, well she is coming to Oslo where we have had for some days  -15; Shocking change for my friend!
Yes, it´ s cold here, and even more, sometimes so hard to resist or to be out for more than 15 minutes, but maybe, hope im not the only one, who enjoys to feel the freezing air when I step out of the door, of course im not all CUCKOO! I do enjoy it for 5-10 minutes max. after that i kinda would like to go back indoors!
Why do i like it? There is something with fresh air, something like you feel extremely awake, you can feel all your body freezing; that in a way makes you feel so awake and so connected with the warm parts of/in you.
When you see all white covered with snow, just then when The Blue Hour comes; you feel the air, you see around and thank  God for the beauty in the midst of coldness. You feel so alive!!!...after all cold is good too, would you agree?

More wood bricks for the fireplace please!

"Early birds" my flatmate and I could be easily considered. She wakes up by 6am to be at the hospital where she works from 7am. Myself  I really can be the most annoying noisy person who starts in such a great mood by 5:30 am, latest by 6:00. Days start with breakfast by 7:00 am or before, breakfast is so important for me, the meal I enjoy the most. The meal I eat the most!
Today particularly we started with the fireplace very early, we had -14 in the morning because of this the whole place was freezing cold; Can you believe? Bricks and more bricks. I´ve been taking care of the fireplace for over 6 hrs now; while I´m packing, and selecting what will be coming with me to Peru. ...PACKING, for 1000 time packing! packing in between weeks, packing for some weeks, packing for the season, packing for the storage, packing the remaining, packing for some years. The word in deed is packing.

I want some time off from that word! I wish I´m brave enough to Dont-Pack, just leave everything. Show up in the airport just with the neccesary my laptop, my toothbrush, my Burberry perfume, my make up bag and my Lewis Carroll Collection. Even the necessary sounds a lot, so i see, i better pack
ALL the other things too!!! ;)

5 years ride, soon ending!

Since Monday afternoon, I´ve been putting myself, ideas, feelings and thoughts through a cleansing process.

Too many small thoughts, that when you put them together they become a quite some heavy load.

I´m soon going back, moving back to Peru, I cant say when I´m coming back to Norway, might be 6 months might be more, but i have peace and joy to carry on there, i know it will be the right place and time.

For what I´m about to leave i know i will miss it, like the streets, the faces, the language, the smells, brown cheese, wild berries on summer time and snow the rest of the year!

But the most important things will be coming with me wherever i go, like a Norwegian flag made of little pieces from the precious friends i have been blessed with. Friends that i´ve seen them grow, mature, go away and come back home, friends who are teachers, some nurses, some were my sister, others were my mom, and others were the joy i needed in times of hardship! Some were wise advisers, others wise sharing, some were protection and showed me bus and tram stops, others paid for me a light Coke or a cookie and took a ride on a shopping cart, a ride to Denmark, a ride to Løften, a ride to Germany, a ride to Bigdøy! And others gave me the great advice to visit Jesus Church; my church-home since August 2005.

Thank you Norway, You are a Unique and Special country. God bless Norge!

Adios, so long; Good Bye!
