I'm still alive!

It's been so long since I last wrote! I'm sorry for taking such a long break, it wasn't my intention. Remember that exam I told you about? The one where I was researching Roald Dahl and how being Norwegian had influenced his writing? Well, preparation for that kind of took over, but I'm pleased to say that the exam went well :)

Soon after that I started back at university and I was not prepared for how busy it was going to be! The first half of this term has just flown and it's beginning to dawn on me how very much I've got to do over the next couple of months! 

I miss you guys and I miss blogging so I will try to post a bit more regularly, especially now that it's winter, my favourite month for discussing all things Nordic, cosy and sparkly. 

Until then, keep safe and warm and tell me how your months have been. Did anything happen that made you smile?

A kind of, round about, lame excuse for my absence

You know how when there's a power cut and your laptop doesn't work and you repeatedly go to it and try to switch it on anyway, even if you know that the battery is dead and then you try the tv but no, that needs electricity too and then suddenly you need tea more than anything else in the whole world but the kettle doesn't even work and you run around your house wondering what just WHAT exactly they even just DID in the olden days? 

Well, my life has been a little bit like that during the last month or so. 

Since my laptop, charger, mobile phone and camera are all such great friends and like to gang up on me and do funny things like all break at exactly the same time, I'm bascially living in a constant power cut.

I don't have enough spare money to replace everything but I'm going to get a new laptop soon so at least I can write again! I'm going to save up for a new camera, but for now I can only promise you crazyweird webcam pictures.


By the way, that's a jumper I stole from Bjorn. I'd like you all to promise me that if you ever visit Scandinavia you will prioritise buying one of their special jumpers. Even above food and shelter. Because think about everything snuggley you've ever experienced and then mix that with everything cozy you've ever seen. Now add puppies and tickling babies and rolling down a hill made of warm, wrapped in a blanket of bunnies tails. That's what you will be buying if you buy a jumper like this.

PS: Incase you were wondering, in the olden days they read and talked and ate quite a considerable amount of cookies. They definitely did not constantly whine and complain and send their computers looks of resentment and deep hatred.
