hei guys!
so its been outrageously hot here in oslo. the last week here has been a varified freak heat wave. fans are sold out absolutely everywhere in all but one town up north. i heard one store got a new shipment yesterday so i ran there and a guy three people ahead of me got the last one. I nearly started a rumble in the jungle at Clahs Olsen but decided even if i decked the guy and ran off with it I would likely be aprehended by the mall security and have to forfeit the gold anyway.
Today I scrubbed my appartment. Most people would have considered it already clean but now it sparkles up to Helen standards...and painted my nails red :)
here is my cozy little kitchen window. I picked those flowers in the vase outside.
The neighborhood is great, although the children wake me up at 8 in the morning playing in the backyard. Have to keep the windows open due to the INTENSE heat. There is a sweet cafe on the corner and a little fresh foods market accross the street. I am already friends with the iranian guy who owns it, Saoud. Speaking of which, I made a stew for dinner today. It should feed me for the next three days. Its got chicken, mushrooms, brocolli, onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, top ramen noodles, and red peppers lol. I just threw it all in a big pot with water and broth. Super yummy and cheap and healthy!
Last night i went midnight swimming. Yup, thats what midnight looks like in oslo summertime. well, 11pm at least. Those are friends i met at school, wonderful ladies.
Hey Devyn: Hope all is well. A heatwave in Norway sounds like heaven. I suspect in the not too distant future you will be remembering it fondly. The weather is perfect here, you should come and try it out. I got a bike and a blog. I'm at KayCooksJulia'sWay@blogspot.com. I'm frantically cooking and your brother is frantically remodeling my kitchen, which looks fantastic by the way. He says Hi. Your Dad was here today too. Keep in touch. Love, AK
