Escape from boredom

Did you know that we share 33% of our DNA with the daffodil, and 50% with the fruitfly – jezzes…

Elin has now painted the bedroom, first in some lilac kinda color, then changed it in to some light brown, latte color. The shades has come up, and I’ve done some listing inside the wardrobes. We have also had to do some filing in the hall because when mounting the wardrobe the carpenter had to attatch the ceiling on to the roof!! More pictures can be seen if you press “read more”.

You can see the initial color on the wall here

This is the wallpaper Elin has choosen, she was given full freedom of choice in this room

The shades, 100% sunproofed!

The ceiling in the hall finally mounted 🙂

And the list, I’ve done it all alone!!

Yesterday my car lost the gangster cap, in other words the skiing roof box is off and the snow tyres are off. And on Friday it will be delivered to Leon at http://www.bilshine.com. I will have a new car by the time he is finished!!!

In Norwegian

-Du skriver at folk i 30-årene er en generasjon arbeidsnarkomane med dagdrivermentalitet. Er det fordi vi vil forene uforenelige ting, at livene våre ikke går opp?
– Ja, jeg tror det er litt derfor. Vi er en generasjon som har identiteten vår sterkt knyttet opp til jobben, samtidig som vi jobber mindre og mindre overtid. For å få det bra i dag, må man godta at hastigheten er en god ting i seg selv. Går en og venter å finne roen, kan det ta lang tid.

Can’t remember who was interviewed, but is was a Norwegian writer in this weekends A-Magasinet at least, and the journalist was named Tonje Egedius.

This weekend we have had voluntary communal work, in Norwegian “Dugnad” http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugnad, in our housing cooperative. Some of the work was done on the windows in our appartement, so I consider it to fit in the category Renovation in my home page. Elin is reported sick until the 14’th, she sleeps more than usual, but is still able to do some work when awake. She has painted the bedroom today, more pictures to come from there. Anyhow, here are some pictures from this weekend, click “read more” see them all

Lunch outside on Saturday

Painting the windows outside, they need to be replaced in a few years

The livingroom is complete chaos right now

Finally we are now finished with the wardrobe in the hall and in the bedroom. The only thing left now is the lists inside the wardrobe. We are pleased with the result! Click “read more” to view all pictures.
