Back @ work

Wow..hard to believe how fast 3 weeks can pass. Besides doing some work on the pier in Eiksund (picture will follow....when I get around to it!) my vacation this year was mostly filled with exercising (hey...I`ve reached my 600 mile-on-the-bike-goal thank you very much!! and its still August!). I was without my car for almost 2 weeks, but had it serviced last week, it cost me a small fortune. The car is now working...FOR NOW!
My family cleaned up around the boathouses at lake Vatnevatnet, and it looks so much better. Next year we will have a power shovel to do some landscaping. I`m sure it will turn out great.

My company is now laying people off, and although I`m in the clear for now, it is not certain what the future will bring..so I`ve been trying to save as much money as possible for a few months now (besides the accidental guitar-purchase (!). If I manage to save enough, I hope I can travel next year. I reeeeally want to go to the US next summer. Hard to believe it`s been 2 years since last time.. and I would like to go to the Alps on a skiing-trip with my cousin.

My place...

Enter the.... *drum-roll* entrance!















Living-room (high ceiling, 9 feet)



















































The kitchen. Btw, it does not look spotless like this often ;)


























Hallway
































"Study" where I spend time playing my guitars, reading books, listening to music...



























Storage room "behind" the study. Other side of the room was to messy to show in photo (!)
















Bathroom (it is bigger than it looks, but it was kinda difficult to get a decent picture)














Bedroom




























So this was the "tour" of my apartment! I also have another storage-room one floor down where I keep my bicycle skis etc. etc. I decided not to take a picture of it, that also goes for the carport for my old Audi (relax..it`s just a carport).
As I wrote as a comment to one of the pictures above I do not keep my apartment this tidy at all times. Or, I would like to...but it is impossible :)

New layout....explains my mood

My life sucks atm.

I really really reeeeally wish I could travel more, but all I can think of is that this is not the right time for me to go, both economically and emotionally.

My car broke down again(!), so I have to spend more cash on it.. Its leaking oil (I have found the source), the repair shop is closed atm and I`m seriously thinking about riding my bicycle to work for the rest of the week.
I think my life would be so much better not owning a car, but I have become too dependent of it unfortunately.

I found these cool ads on Ebay and I wanted to have them framed. I got them really cheap, but finding frames for the "not so usual sized"-ads is killing me! The photo shop wanted 1000,- EACH !
C`mon, seriously..NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I will have to spend some time searching for a more reasonable-priced frame.

Only 3 days until my vacation starts.... for the three coming weeks I will focus on;

1) charging my batteries
2) exercising
3) spending quality-time with friends and family

Can`t wait..

@ the office

Something is not right in this picture....hmm

I plunged in and bought.....

Arrived yesterday...I`m a happy camper :)
