I've had a strangely productive Sunday. I helped my mum hook up her brand new set-top box and internet connection in her flat. She seems settled in now, and was absolutely over the moon to have her internet back. She practically shooed me out after everything was set up and she felt we'd chit-chatted enough.

I woke up to the sound of rain and the front door slamming shut. It wasn't even 6am, and I slept for another hour before deciding to get up. Does anyone else find it easier to get up in the morning when you're the last person to leave the house? I enjoy those private hours. There's something about being left to myself that appeals to me.

I've been feeling a little sluggish the last week, and I slept 13+ hours tonight! Yikes! I hope I'll be able to stay relatively healthy, I don't want to get sick ( Read more... )

Aaah travel jitters, I can't wait to travel! :D Just one major obstacle remains, and then I'm freeeeee. We have agreed to help my parents with some moving stuff on Saturday, ( Read more... )

I've been binge watching Fringe (on season 4 now!), and trying to keep myself sane in this heat we're experiencing. I usually don't have any issues with hot weather, but again I feel like hot weather in Norway is very different from hot weather in Japan. AC is not a necessity here, and very few people own one - it's a different climate and a ( Read more... )
