31 July Oslo




While Chris was making a Pavlova to take to tomorrow's wedding. (We are not invited) Bill and I visited IKEA, which is a cross between Freedom Furniture, The Warehouse and Bunnings. We were just popping over to have a look to see what all the fuss was about. Apparently it is the place to get things for your home. We found the prices quite good. Light Bulbs were 1/3 the price we pay. Light fittings and kitset furniture were amazingly priced too. Started to get inspired to tackle the next house project, which according to some of our friends is way overdue.
On our return we visited Ella, Frank’s Mum and we met a few other members of the family. Bent’s wee son Marcus, his partner Stina, his sister Camilla, her two children Tia and Noah and Bent’s younger brother Ronnie. Ella is a deft hand at baking so the table was laden down with goodies. Spent a lovely time with her and the family. After that we visited Nina, in her inner city apartment which she bought recently. It is lovely, right in the centre of where it’s all happening but also very safe and quiet. It is in a very sought after neighbourhood. It was great catching up with her again. Nina is maid of honour at her friend's wedding that Chris has also been invited to. Today we were swapping cars as Nina is taking a load of stuff to tomorrow's wedding and the Jeep is the perfect workhorse for the job. Before heading home an opportunity was seized by Buzz in the form of an errant Ferrari because it would be rude not to. We head out of Oslo tomorrow. Decided to go on an overnight trip to Sweden, where and whether a Ferry is involved is still to be decided.
