Fab weekend

My sister came to visit this weekend, and what a fab weekend we have had!
Lot's of sister time :)

I picked her up at the airport on Friday, got some sushi take-away on the way home.
The weather was good, so we decided to eat on the balcony, and of course have champagne!!

Saturday was a bit grey weather wise, but who cares?
We walked in to town, armed with an umbrella and a credit card each - ready for shopping.
Both my sister and I have wanted a Burberry trench coat for a long time.
That is the ultimate trench, and will always be fashionable!
Fist thing we ran to Rene, and tried them on. Big mistake! HUGE!!
After you have tried a Burberry, H&M is not the same anymore!
I'll just have to save up, and maybe visit Burberry when I'm in London in October :))

But we had to do some shopping, and I ended up buying a pair of fab jeans in this fall's it-colour; plum! And I bought a fab fake fur coat. Unfortunately it's too hot to wear it now (words I never thought I would say about Bergen).

In Kløverhuset at Scabal I found a pair of fabulous ankle boots by See by Chloe, and the best thing; they were on sale!! YIHAAA!! Fab colour for the fall as well, a nice cognac/burgundy brown.

After shopping till we almost dropped, we went to Bocca for some lunch.
Bocca is located in the middle of Bergen, and at street level, so you can watch people walking by.
May be spot someone you know as well :)
Good food and decent wine and friendly staff makes this our regular lunch spot.



Bloody Thursday

Since my sister coming to visit this weekend, I decided to find my inner domestic queen and tidy up the flat a bit.
It's just a week since I returned from holiday, but strangely enough it looks like several people have just tossed papers and clothes around the flat.
Don't know how that happended...

Anyways; this morning i cleared the clutter in the kitchen - meaning moving dishes from the kitchen counter to the dishwasher :)
As I reached for the big knife on the counter, my fingers somehow slipped, and the knife went up in the air, did a 360, before heading for the floor.
In pure stupidity and reflex, my hand reaches out to try and grab it before it would ruin the floor, and by that ruining my reputation as domestic queen.

Since my life is not lived in slow motion (you know when you manage to grab the knife perfectly without cutting your fingers off) I ended up with a deep cut in a finger and blood everywhere.
YAIKES!!

I just can not believe how much blood is in a single finger!
Somehow I remembered to keep my hand over my head, to stop the blood from running.
But it's not very easy to get a band aid with only one hand - but I managed with a bit of cursing.

And because of all the blood, I had to clean the kitchen AND bathroom too.
Domestic queen for real :)

Fifty Shades

I have to admit it, this summers buzz got to me.
And the buzz I'm talking about is the "Fifty Shades" books by E. L. James.
Norwegian newspapers have written about these books a lot, and they are not out in Norwegian yet.

So i downloaded them on my Kindle.

I have read all three this summer, and must admit it: the books are good.
I have to say though, I don't find them erotic at all.
They are much (WAY!!) too explicit to be erotic.
This is more "wham, bam, thank you m'am".

What I really liked about the books is how the relationship between multi billion dollar Christian Grey and young inecent Anastacia Steel evolves.
They start out with him as the Dom. Laying out the rules (how to behave as a sub), and him not wanting a relationship at all.
As he says in the book: "I don't do relationships. I fuck!"

But then it turns out that Anastacia is not the perfect sub, she has her own set of mind and a blabbering mouth. Not a good quality for a sub.

Strangely enough this is what attracts Christian to her, and why he opens up and changes.

Add a little crime as well, and you have a good story.


I do get that some may find this erotic and exciting, to me it's borderline porn.
It's now one of the best selling books in the UK and Amazon, and I think it has passed Harry Potter on the list as well.
I've heard that they want to film the books, and it will be exciting to see how they will film some of the sceenes and not end up as a porn film.

Anyways, the books are a good read
