News from the front...

SO things are coming together albeit very slowly.
Sadly my barnehage job has been delayed while the boss goes on a holiday (she did have two other part timers to sort out, but still...). So, I find myself facing the great enemy: Boredom.

Thankfully I've not been tooo idle. Returning to my Norwegian studies has been easier than I thought, right now I am re-digesting some notes on norsk preposijions (gotta love em) and recalling the worlds I learned through conversation. Im still finding more difficulty in hearing norsk, but I am getting there. As usual, speaking isnt the biggest issue for me. :p

Also, my other job working the doors has offered me some work in the interim, which is nice. Beginning to love drunkan Norwegians, especially when they join me in singing to Billy Joels Piano man. Thanks Jonas, I needed that. Good people there.

The move is going along, today we move the last bulk to my girls parents house. She's got a good family there, honest, loyal and kind. Hell theyre footing the bill for the damn deposit! Litt hjelp min rumpa! Add humble to that list.

So! We should be moving into our new place next week, around the middle. Its going to be damn messy when it starts but there is something pure about actually having a place! After 6 months of living out of a suitcase and not buying a single luxury item (well, maybe alchohol...), I really appreciate the small things.

Thanks again to anyone following my little misadventure, especially those that leave me little comments. Its good encouragement. I'll try to return the favour.

2 jobs down and a new place!!!!!

OK! Luck has finally struck and while I'm dragging my legs around thanks to a series of child induced colds and chest infections; im smiling.

Last week I got a call back regarding a Vikar Barnehage job (Read: 0 hour contract), in the same week I was given a night job by a good friend of mine (Who can be swayed by bourbon, not the biscuit).
Top this off with a new flat for me and my girl to live in which we move to in the coming couple of weeks! Not forgetting that in November I'm going home for a few days (with an empty suitcase!).
I'd like to thank Thomas for that second job as a door man, Suzanne for that tip off about the barnehage work and finally for my beautiful norsk girlfriend who has put up with me in more than one way!
Ive always said this would be about baby steps but this step felt like a big one!

Also, I would like to thank the kind encouragement I recieved here. ALthough I had intedned to post far more here and join in the social end of this, events conspire against me. Thank you all and yes your stuck with me. Muhahahahahaha.

Ahem.


More soon!
