Wonderful Summer-week!
Hi there!
Hope you all doing well around the world!
Another week has past and we got some lovely people who has visiting us here in Oslo. Last weekend Tomas mom Gunilla and Anders was here and during the whole week my mom Gunnel and my grand mom Ingrid was staying with us. We had a couple of fantastic days with beautiful summer weather.
The whole week has been loaded with lots of sun, delicious food, small trips, heat, wine and love. Completely wonderful!
On Tuesday we where on an island called Langøya. On Wednesday we walked around Vigeland Sculpture Park and in the evening we sail out in the Oslo-fjord to do some sightseeing and eating lots of fresh prawns. On Thursday we rent a car and did a road-trip to Norwegians fifth largest lake Tyrifjord and its beautiful landscape. On Friday it was raining so we just did some shopping-hours. On Saturday it was sunny again and we spent the whole day on the island Gressholmen and on Sunday we just relaxed and watch the great movie ”Water for Elephants” and then we took a evening walk to to show Oslo Opera House to mom and grand mom.
And then this lovely week was til its end, they traveled back to Sweden on Monday.
It was so fun to have them here the whole week, we are missing them so much. The next year when they coming back we hope they going to stay for two weeks. 😉
Thank you so much for this wonderful summer-week! More pictures you’ll find here.
But now this summer has come to its end, it has turned below 20 degrees and it rains a lot.
It’s sad, we thought that we should have a few more hot days with sun, but if you look on the weather forecast it will not happened.
But then we long even more to stay in our beautiful new renovated house on Koh Tao. It is only 4 month left now until we’ll see it again!! We got some new animated pictures from Aon yesterday! Look, isn’t going to be amazing?
Take care,
Peace and Love
Day of sorrow…
It is completely surreal what happened in Oslo yesterday, Friday 22 July!
It’s so hard to take in, but our thoughts go to Norway and Oslo today!
We are safe and sound, me and Tomas. We took a bus to Båstad on Thursday, to spend the weekend in Sweden with Tomas’s mother Gunilla and her man Anders.
And we can say that we feel really lucky! And it also seems that all our friends and colleagues we have in Oslo also has survived and are safe. Feels great!
I know that the restaurants I’m working in, D/S Louise and Lekter’n are closed today…
As said we find no words, as surly many others, just thoughts and questions how and why?
So good news in the middle of the chaos…
We have finally received the quotation from Aon on Koh Tao Villas!
Now she will go ahead and complete our dream home, everything will be so fantastic! Finally!
This is animated images from our garden., how it will look like when we go there in December.
Isn’t it incredible nice?
It is so much fun when Aon will put her own touch on our dream home, it feels like she wants to realize what we want!
Now we yearn even more to our lovely house on our paradise island, Koh Tao!
Thank again to you who read our blog, it warms our harts!
We light a candle for Oslo and all afflicted with sorrow in their harts…
Big hugs from us, Linda & Tomas
Take care of each other!
Update June!
Hello all of our friends!
A small update for you in the middle of the summer!
It’s almost three weeks since we left our lovely island Koh Tao and our lovely house! Time fly by so fast! And we long there as usual, every day but yesterday we booked tickets to Thailand on 18 December. We will be there for five weeks this time and its going to be wonderful! And hopefully our lovely house will be definitely finished when we arrive. Only one year behind schedule!
We enjoying some warm summer days and nights in Oslo, while we work a lot!
Last week on Wednesday, me, Linda had my birthday. I had an perfect day with my darling Tomas, we had picnic in the grass under a warm and big sun, with some nice food and drinks. Just enjoying summer. After that I had a small dinnerparty with some of my nice colleges from work. We were drinking lots of Rosé-wine with Russhian-water (If you have not tried it yet, you have to try it! Yummy!!) I had baked Broccoli-Blue Cheese pie and a Salmon pie, and for dessert I got an huge Chocolate-mousse cake from a kitchen-chef in the restaurant I working in. It was so mighty that I still have a big piece left in the fridge and It’s almost a week ago since my birthday. Puh!! But we had a great day and evening and it did not end until 5 o’clock in the morning! I was lucky to had a day off from work that day!! =D
This weekend Tomas went home to the North. He spent some nice days in his cabin with family and friends. They had great weather and did some BBQ, drinking beers and played guitar, also to the sun rises again. =P
A funny thing that happened to him when he flew to Stockholm was that he sat 6 rows from Jered Leto, the lead singer in the band 30 seconds to Mars!! We are a huge fan of them!! He spoke to him and took a photo of him! Whiii so exiting!!
That was all for this time!
Ops I almost forgot one thing, one million thanks to you who read our blog!
We have reach 30 000 visitors in a couple of months, that is just amazing! Thanks a lot again!
Check out the new pictures from my birthday!
