I am back!!!

Ja, så er det første arbeidsdag etter ferien…..

Det er ikke så tungt når man først har kommet på jobb….

Da er det faktisk kjekt;

Treffe gode kollegaer igjen….

Huske på at en faktisk kan noe annet enn å spille golf, drikke vin, slikke sol…..

og spise aaaaaalt for mye god mat…….

Det kjennes godt at man faktisk duger til noe….

Det er fint å kjenne på den stoltheten som yrket gir…

Kjenne identiteten som også ligge her….

Men i går var det tung…

Søndag kveld etter uker med ferie og fritid….

Tanken på vekkerklokken som for første gang på uker skulle få en barsk inntreden i livet igjen…

Foran tv, sammen med kjæresten, med et siste glass ferie vin…

Eller faktisk så var det champagne….

en siste skål i bobler for en fantastisk deilig ferie…

Da var det tungt

Fryktelig tungt å tenke på at ferien var over for i år…

Men i dag er det egentlig helt greit..

Ikke bare å komme i gang med jobb…

Men med alle rutinene;

Trene

Spise sunnere igjen

Skrive videre på en bok som har ligget brakk de siste ukene….

Planlegge flere store spennende prosjekter som vi har foran oss..

( kommer tilbake til dette utover høsten 🙂

Og ikke minst at jeg skal begynne i ny jobb om et par uker!!!

Traumesenteret; «Here I come!!»

YUP! Denne høsten blir knall!!

HA EN STRÅLENDE START PÅ UKEN ALLE SAMMEN

❤ ❤ ❤

So it begins!

Todays post in English

Not today

Not tomorrow either

But soon

Very soon

And I am looking forward to it

I really do

There is a time for everything

And now it is this

But first I have to travel

By plane

Do some preparations

I have so many plans this time

So many projects

Exciting things

New arenas

New assignments

So what is it -that are about to begin?

The rest of my life!

It has been  on pause the last weeks

That’s how it feels

Vacation

A time were everything stands still

Everything stops alittle

But now it’s coming to an end

And this monday the rest of my life begins

I am looking forward to it

Have a wonderful day everybody

❤❤❤

 

I AM NOT COMING HOME!!!

Yesterdays post in English

I cant….

Won’t….

I am enjoying this so much….

Excellent food and drinks…..

Late nights on the terrace, laughing and good times..

A boyfriend that tells me that he loves me many times a day..and does those adult stuff with me that people who love each other do…

How can I leave a place were the morning starts without the alarmclock…

Were the sound of my boyfriends snoring for some reason is abscent…

From mornings at the terrasse with a good book,something to eat and drink…

From peace and quiet…

With beautiful sunrises…

From beautiful surroundings

and flowers so perfect..

From sun and heat…

We will just stay…

Emigrate

Immigrate

But then I speak to the man in the reception at the golfclub.

He has been to Bergen this summer and praises how gorgeous City we have…

At first it is greek to me….even though he is Spannish and speaks English…. the message is still greek… 😊

I remember fleeing from a rainy City wich again has beaten some absurd rain- record  from the 1800….

From summerdays with the same temperature as christmas eve….

But the man is speaking of totally different stuff and I start to remember…

Everything that I have back home…

Our fantastic children who I love more than anything…..

OF COURSE I WANT TO GO HOME TO THEM!!!

And what about  My and Pi that probably wonders were we are….

The family..

Not to mention all our friends?

The choir that are giving a huge concert at Bergens concerthouse: Grieghallen this fall….

And the ice-swimmer club…..not as impressive to start one here in Spain…

And what about the job that I love….all my collegues…

And the other job that I am starting this fall, wich I am really looking forward to…

And beautiful surroundings????

Bergen do really have to offer plenty in that department to…

And to be honest, I dont mind my boyfriends snoring  so much….

And he do tell me that he loves me many times a day at home as well….

And those adult stuff we do….well we didnt invent them here in Spain….

That’s how it is with vacation…..sun and heat….we appreciate it because we dont have that all year…

Yep! I changed my mind!

I AM COMING HOME!!!

But not quite yet….I am still going to enjoy a short week of sun, golf and all the rest..

And I do agree with the Spannish guy who at first seemed to be speaking greek;

NOTHING IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN BERGEN WHEN SUNNY

I wish you all a wondetful day wether its sunny or rainy were you are!!!!

❤ ❤ ❤

OMG!!!!

Todays post in English

I rule in Golf!!

Yep it’s true!!!!

At least I rule in golf in Spain!!

Well…..it is all a matter of who you compare me with of course…

I am not a threat to Tutta yet….

PGA will have to wait a couple of years…😀

But I do play a lot better than I have been…

Here is what I have written in an earlier blog about handicap in golf :

When you play a par 3 hole,it means you are supposed to get the ball in to the hole in just 3 strokes if you dont have any handicap at all…(that means you are very good) if You manage to do that you get 2 points.

I have a high handicap and get 2 ekstra strokes for the same hole. That means that if I get it in to the hole in 5 strokes I get 2 points as well.

A par 4 holes means that the ball should go in to the hole in 4 strokes without hcp, and I usually get 3 ekstra strokes-in other words 7 strokes.

If I use 8 strokes I only get 1 point and if I use 9 I dont get any points at all. But if I only use 6 – I get 3 points and if I only use 5 I get 4 points and so on…

In an 18 hole round you should get 36 points to play accordingly to your handicap,that means 2 points in each hole- but there is a bufferzone so you can get a bit lower score without changing your hcp. If You get more than 36 points,you will get a lower hcp (wich means you have gotten better)

I started at 54 and are now at 49. My goal for this year is 36. 🙂

ARE YOU WITH ME??

So I went down here with 49 in hcp wich I have had all year…..

This spring and summer I have been struggeling with the game and even stuff I managed before was all crap now…

But before leaving for this trip I went to a training range with my son to practice. And things were getting better.

Especially my swing with the Driver were getting much better – wich is important,cause thats the one we use when we start a new hole and we want to hit faaaaaar…

When I didnt manage to do that,I was far behind and it was hard to reach the hole in a few strokes….

But then we came here…

to beutiful surroundings..

Dried courses..

Flawless fairways ( =the long field we play before reaching the Green that surrounds the hole)

And greens so perfect that we wonder if it’s a carpet we are playing on..

AND I PLAY SO GOOD!!!!

As you read further up- you should get 36 points to play accordingly to your hcp.

I got 44 points on my first round!!! And fell all the way down to 41 in hcp!!

The next day I had 9 less extra strokes due to my new hcp and I worried that it would be hard to play that good again….

I got 41 points!! And reached my goal of 36 in hcp this year!!!

Of course this was celebrated at the club house 🙂

Another amazing thing is that I have been playing with the same ball all along – I havent lost one yet!!

That means I havent hit any in to the water or woods….at least not without finding it again. 🙂

I am so happy with reaching the goal of 36 in hcp- wich was my goal for this year 😀

I am a bit apprehensive about playing in Norway again….

Wet and heavy fields are not that forgiving…the ball doesnt travel that far and it’s harder to hit trough the long and wet grass…

But if it doesnt work out I just have to move to Spain 🙂

This is the life I was ment to live 🙂

I WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL DAY – YOU WILL FIND ME AT THE GOLFCOURSE

❤ ❤ ❤

WORRIED!!!!!!

august 7, 2017, posted in golf, life, personal, travel, trip, vacation

Todays post in English

We finally went on our vacation….

That was my first worry; would we go anywhere at all this year??? Or would we end up staying home in the pouring rain, playing golf at soaked fields?

We hadn’t booked anything when the vacation started, but there where some loose ideas….

And then suddenly…..within 2 days the trip to Spain was booked…..

With the airline Norwegian…..

So then my next worry surfaced……delay…….that seem to be  Norwegians trademark this summer…

I might be a bit unjust saying that – I have travelled with Norwegian many times, 3 times to Thailand among others – and they have always been  right on time….except for this March when we had to stay a day longer in the Canary Island due to delay…

But there has been a lot of delays this summer – so I was worried……

BUT

Norwegian was punctual both in leaving Norway and arriving Spain

We had booked real cheap tickets to Murscia ( wich is about an hour drive from the resort we were going to) and the plane was not full at all:

We landed as I said right on time – both suitcases and golf gear came quickly, which I also had worried about…..wouldn’t be the same on a golf resort without our golf gear…

And it was hot!! Very Hot: 31 degrees celsius / 87,8 farenheit at 8.15 pm)

…..we walked straight to the shutlebus who drove us to the rental car company. Where they tried to sell us several » very cheap» insurances for the car, but this control freak had already read all the small letter writings and knew we had all the insurance that we needed 🙂

As a «penalty» we had to pay a deposit for 1000 euro, which we will get back when returning the car undamaged……so no it is placed in a garage and will only be used in an emergency;)  so no worries there at least 🙂

Another worry I had was how we would fit all the luggage into the little car we rented??? we had 2 golf bags + a large and a small suitcase and our self!….I was pretty sure the car didnt have a roof rack….

It turned out just fine….I couldnt see shit out the rear window,but no suitcases were left behind.

And then it was the drive…..on a highway in a small Fiat….with all the crazy Spanish drivers in front,on the side and behind…anf the sudden dark as if someone has hit the lightswitch..

Of course I was the driver – my boyfriend doesnt like airplanes so he medicates his anxiety with Underberger🍹

Ergo;  » he is not a designated driver!»

The drive started with a fight in the first roundabout ……- but we were smart and blamed it on the GPS lady…so we could stay friends……

The rest of the drive went just fine! Little traffic the most of the way and GPS is really Gods gift to tourists on the road…..We drove straight on to the resort and arrived at 10 pm Saturday evening.

My next worry was the apartment….It wasn’t the one we originally wanted to book, and the pictures the landlord had sent from this one, looked like something from grandmas youth….. but when the pictures arrived we had no choice, the tickets were booked and we needed somewhere to stay…

We also looked up the landlord; John on facebook and OMG!!! – not very smart to put photoshopped pictures of your self with long hanging tits when you are in the business of renting out houses…!!

I was very apprehensive and didnt know that the photo wasnt real…..and when we texted him to tell him we had landed he answered with this text;

«Sorry for how I will look – red head from sunburn and Ginparty with my friends tonight»

But John was a real nice guy – he met us at the gate – showed us the garage and took us to the apartment ( wich looked much better than the photos) And he had bought us water and a bottle of champagne!

FINALLY WE WERE HERE!!!

I WISH YOU ALL A DAY WITH NO WORRIES

❤ ❤ ❤

BEKYMRET!!!!

august 7, 2017, posted in uncategorized

Så kom vi oss avgårde…

Det var min første bekymring;  kom vi til å komme oss på noen ferie i år???? Eller ville vi bare bli gående hjemme i drittvær og spille golf på gjennombløte baner?

Vi hadde jo ikke bestilt eller planlagt noen tur da ferien startet, men noen løse tanker var der jo….

Så plutselig…. i løpet av 2 dager var turen til Spania bestilt….

med Norwegian…….

Så da dukket en ny bekymring opp …..forsinkelser…..det er jo Norwegians varemerke i disse dager…

Nå er jeg kanskje litt urettferdig – jeg har reist mye med Norwegian, blant annet til Thailand 3 ganger  og hver gang har de vært right on time….bortsett fra en tur til Gran Canaria i mars, da vi fikk oss en ekstra dag der før vi kom oss hjem….

Men vi har jo hørt om mye forsinkleser nå i sommer – så jeg var litt bekymret…

MEN

Norwegian var punktlig både på avgang og ankomst…

Vi hadde booket kjempe billige flybilletter til Murcia (som ligger ca 1 time fra golf -resorten) og på flyet var det mange ledige plasser:

Vi landet som sagt akkurat når vi skulle – både kofferter og golf-bagger kom raskt på rullebåndet, noe jeg også hadde  bekymret meg for…… blir liksom ikke det samme på et golf resort uten golf utstyr…..

Og det var varmt…. Veldig varmt; 31 grader kl 20.15….

……vi gikk rett på en shutlebuss utenfor ankomst bygningen som tok oss til bilutleier firmaet. Der prøvde de å selge oss utallige forsikringer til «en billig penge» men heldigvis hadde denne kontrollfriken lest alt med liten skrift og visste at det var helt unødvendig i tillegg til de forsikringen vi allerede hadde 🙂

Som «straff» måtte vi selvsagt betale et depositum på 1000 euro som vi får tilbake ved levering av bilen uten skader…..så nå står den trygt forvart i en garasje og den brukes kun i nødstilfeller 🙂 så slipper jeg den bekymringen 🙂

En annen ting som opptok meg var hvordan vi skulle få plass til all bagasjen i den lille bilen vi hadde leid???? Vi hadde tross alt med oss 2 golf-bagger, 1 stor og 1 liten koffert + oss selv………og jeg var ganske sikker på at bilen ikke kom med takgrind…..

Det gikk faktisk greit det også…jeg så ikke en drit ut bakvinduet, men ingen kofferter sto igjen på flyplassen da vi dro 🙂

Så var det kjøreturen….på motorvei i en liten Fiat….med alle de gærne spanske sjåførene foran, på siden og bak…..avkjørsler og påkjørsler…..mørket som kommer som om man har slått av en bryter…

Det var selvsagt jeg som skulle kjøre – kjæresten som ikke er superglad i å fly, døyvet angsten med Underberger…..

Ergo;  » he is not a designated driver!»

Bilturen startet med en hissig diskusjon i første rundkjøring – men vi var smart og la skylden på dama i GPS én så kunne vi fortsette å være venner…..

Resten av turen gikk fint! Lite trafikk det meste av veien og GPS er faktisk guds gave til turister på biltur…Vi kjørte rett på og ankom Alenda golf resort i 22.00 tiden på lørdag kveld..

Min neste bekymring var leiligheten…… Det var jo ikke den vi opprinnelig hadde booket og bildene utleier hadde sendt oss, lignet bilder fra «tante Gudruns leilighet» som min kjære så fint proklamerte….men da bildene kom var det jo ingenting å gjøre med det, vi måtte jo ha et sted å bo, flybilletter var allerede bestilt…..

Utleier John hadde vi også lett opp på facebook og OMG!!!!! – ikke smart å legge ut photoshoppede bilder av deg selv med lange hengepupper når du driver utleie…..!!!!!!!!

Jeg hadde bange anelser, ikke visste jeg at bildet var photoshoppet og da vi meldte ham for å si at vi hadde landet; skrev han tilbake:

«Sorry for how I will look – red head from sunburn and Ginparty with my friends tonight»

Men John var en utrolig hyggelig kar – han møtte oss i porten – loste oss ned i garasjen med bilen – fulgte oss til leiligheten ( som faktisk så mye bedre ut enn på bildene) og hadde kjøpt inn vann og en flaske champagne til oss!

ENDELIG VAR VI HER!!!

ØNSKER DERE ALLE EN BEKYMRINGSLØS DAG

❤ ❤ ❤

OMG what a concert!!!!

I love all concerts and festvals – always have…..

And I’ve been to quite a few troughout the years..

Luckily I have been so fortunate that I have seen both my Idols live on stage:  David Bowie( RIP 😭) and Bob Dylan (this years Nobel literature price winner:)

When I was a foreign exchange student in Minnesota, USA  I didn´t live so far from Bob Dylans house. I am sure he has several houses, but he did come from Minnesota originally and has a house there.

One day, me and a friend went to his house and realized that the gate was open, and of course we went in to the property. The plan was to tell Bob that I was a fan from Norway, and of course he would let us in……

NOT!!!

When we drove up to the house, 3 guards came running out and threw us out!. Quite scary at the time – but I can always brag and say; I have been thrown out of Bob Dylans garden 🙂

But either way, wether I am a big fan of the artist – or not – I love the experience of a concert, the music that filles your body, the show, everybody in a great mood, some alcohol, pure happiness and a sense Woodstock..

At the concert this Friday, it was pouring down…I had a raincoat on ( I am from Bergen so I know how to dress in this city :)…

but no rain pants ……..

We were soaked…..

But you know what? We didnt care at all!!

Robbie delivered!!

I think it has to be one of the best concert I ever been to!

HE ENTERTAINED ME 😀✌👍👏

Afterwards we went to a pub, and I dried my pants in the hand dryer at the bathroom.

I am sure I loked crazy standing there in my underpants – but who cares?? 😀

I WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL DAY!

and Please….DO say something stupid like;  I LOVE YOU 🙂

❤❤❤

For en FANTASTISK konsert!!!!

Jeg elsker konserter og festivaler – har alltid gjort det….

Og jeg har vært på utallige opp gjennom årene.

Heldigvis har jeg fått sett begge mine store idoler live; David Bowie( RIP 😭) og Bob Dylan (årets Nobels litteraturpris vinner 🙂

Da jeg var utvekslingstudent i Minnesota, USA bodde jeg ikke så langt fra huset til Bob Dylan. Han har sikker mange hus rundt om, men han er opprinnelig fra Minnesota. En dag kjørte jeg og en venninne til huset og oppdaget at porten var åpen…….og selvsagt kjørte vi inn på eiendommen. Planen var å forklare Bob at jeg var en fan fra Norge og så ville vi selvsagt få komme inn…….

NOT!!!

Da vi kjørte opp til huset kom 3 sikkerhetsvakter stormende ut av huset og jagde oss ut av hagen……ganske skremmende der og da, men jeg kan for all ettertid skryte av at jeg har blitt kastet ut av Bob Dylans hage 🙂

Men uansett om jeg er fan av artisten eller ikke så liker jeg konsertopplevelse, musikken som fyller kroppen, showet,alle folkene i godt humør, litt alkohol og pur glede i noen timer….liten anelse av WOODSTOCK 😉

På konserten fredag åpnet himmelens sluser seg fullstendig…..De høljet ned som vi sier i Bergen. Jeg hadde tatt regnjakke på meg ( jeg er da bergenser…) men ikke regnbukse…….

Vi ble våt, dygjennomvåt….

Men vet du hva?? Vi brydde oss overhodet ikke!

For Robbie leverte så det holdt!!

Jeg tror det må være en av de beste konsertene jeg har vært på!!

HE ENTERTAINED ME 😀✌👍👏

Etterpå dro vi på scruffy hvor jeg tørket buksen under håndtørkeren på do 🤥 Så sikkert ikke så lur ut der jeg sto i trusa, men who cares?? 😀

HA EN STRÅLENDE DAG ALLE SAMMEN

og please, say something stupid like: I LOVE YOU !

❤❤❤

The «control freak» is freaking out!!

august 4, 2017, posted in family, golf, life, nature, personal, travel, trip, vacation

Todays post in English

OMG

Yesterday morning there was a complete chaos in our house…

the day before we had been in the mountains ( voss) to play golf..

 

in our bag we ha a couple of beers each…

it was our vacation and my son had promised to drive home

 

After 18 holes we went for pizza before driving bak home

in the restaurant we started to talk about going to Spain to play golf next week

as said, it was our vacation – but we had not made any plans yet…

«we´ll look into it when we get back home» I said

I dont like to order or make bookings with my phone – I NEED a computer – I NEED to be able to investigate every possibility – I NEED to make the booking myself – I NEED full control!

YES I AM A CONTROLFREAK!!

…but in the backseat on the way home, my then euphorically boyfriend and my sons buddy  started to look up available apartments and airline tickets….

before I knew it the apartment was booked…

without me seeing any pictures…

«It looks great» my boyfriend jodles from the backseat..

even the fact that it has a kitchen ( which I think is quite mandatory for an apartment) excites my boyfriend at this time….

I can feel the sweat break at my forehead…..

And then they find very cheap airline tickets going to Spain..

«we´ll find the return tickets later – it will all turn out great» the globetrotter in the back proclaims…..

I can feel the adrenaline starting to boil – I want to scream – but I try to keep calm….

The next day, we start the hunt for plane tickets for the return, of course they are insanely expensive…

but finally I do manage to find some at an ok price, but 4 days later than we had planned to go back home…

I feel brave and book them without having any place to stay the last 4 days in Spain…

«It has to work out – right? » I think to my self, while images of me and my boyfriend sleeping on the dirty pavement in Spain, runs trough my head…

A cousin of mine who owns a house not far from there – luckily comes to our rescue and invites us to stay with them for the last days of our vacation.

puh…..

I book a rental car from the airport and for our entire stay in Spain –

and finally I can breath normally again…

Now everything is ready!!

AND I AM STARTING TO LOOK FORWARD TO IT ALL – IT IS ONLY 2 DAYS AHEAD!!!

AND THE WEATHER FORECAST ARE PROMISSING 30 DEGREES ( *C)  86 (*F)

Then som cryptic messages are arriving on our Trip advisor account…

from the guy renting out his apartment;

In short: THE APARTMENT ISNT AVAILABLE!!!

the panic is back…..

…..BUT he has another apartment we can rent if we want…

puh ( again)…

some strange messages back and forth

and then suddenly an alarming messages arrived yesterday morning:

«There is no booking ,trip advisor gave your deposit back and I’m not allowed to contact you due to there rules sorry»

Who does not read that messages as if there is no apartment for us???

AND THE CONTROLFREAK FREAKS OUT!!!

My boyfriend got dragged out of bed before the birds woke….

there were messages to the landlord and trip advisor…..

( and it was not cosy messages!)

phone calls to anyone who might have the slightest connection to the case…

and text messages to who ever I thought of at the time

I looked everywhere for some other apartment to rent – and I could only find big villas  in an extreme price range

«Well this is turning out to be one hel…… of av vacation» I thought – ready to book one of the houses…

But finally an answer from the landlord came:

«My friend , you are not understanding what I’m saying there is a apartment for you here no problem at all , but you need to go back on TripAdvisor again pay a deposit then I except it you then pay the balance and we can then get each other’s contact details 
Our hosting time expired before we completed the booking»
Regards Jon

So finally I feel calm about our plans

tomorrow we leave for a much wanted vacation…..

The golf gear is packed with the bikini

and we are so looking forward to it….

BUT FIRST WE ARE GOING TO A ROBBIE WILLIAMS CONCERT TONIGHT!!!

Are we looking forward to that!!!

and no worries;

I booked those tickets

they were already in the house in 2016

and has their on little space in my draw 🙂

I WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

MAYBE I SEE YOU TONIGHT AT THE CONCERT?

❤ ❤ ❤

OMG

I går morges var det total kaos i heimen!

Dagen før hadde vi vært på Voss og spilt golf

i baggen hadde vi med et par øl

vi hadde ferie og min sønn hadde lovet å kjøre hjem igjen

etter endt runde tok vi oss en tur på pizza restaurant før vi vendte nesen hjemover….

der begynte vi å snakke om en mulig tur til Spania for å spille golf neste uke…

vi har ferie nå – men hadde ikke lagt noen konkrete planer…

«vi ser på det når vi kommer hjem» sa jeg

Jeg liker ikke å bestille tur på mobiltelefonen – jeg MÅ ha en datamaskin – jeg MÅ ha ro til å undersøke alle eventualiteter – jeg MÅ ta meg av bestillingen – jeg MÅ ha full kontroll!!!!

JA JEG ER EN KONTROLLFRIK!

…..men i baksetet på vei hjem begynner likevel en litt euforisk kjæreste og min sønns kompis å lete opp ledige leiligheter og flybilletter…..

før jeg vet ordet av det er leiligheten booket…..

uten at jeg har sett et bilde….

«Den er kjempefin» jodler kjæresten fra baksetet

….selv det faktum at de har et kjøkken ( noe som jeg mener er obligatorisk i en leilighet) imponerer min kjære på dette tidspunkt….

jeg kjenner svetten piple fram i pannen

Så finner de kjempe billige flybilletter ned til Spania..

«Vi finner billetter hjem igjen senere – det ordner seg» proklamerer en lett brisen globetrotter…

Jeg kjenner adrenalinet boble, har mest lyst å skrike – men prøver å beholde roen…

Neste dag begynner jakten på flybilletter hjem igjen, men selvsagt er de svindyre….

til slutt finner jeg noen som er helt ok i pris, men 4 dager senere enn planlagt.

Jeg føler meg vågal og booker dem uten at vi har noe sted å bo de siste 4 dagene av ferien…

«DET må vel ordne seg???» tenker jeg………..mens bilder av meg og kjæresten sovende på et skittent fortau flimrer over netthinnen…..

en fetter med hus ikke så langt derfra – kommer heldigvis til vår redning ved å tilby oss å komme på besøk til dem de siste dagene…

puh…..

Jeg booker leiebil fra flyplassen og til resten av oppholdet og puster lettet ut

Nå er alt klappet og klart…

JEG BEGYNNER Å GLEDE MEG – DET ER JO BARE 2 DAGER TIL VI SKAL REISE!!

……OG DET ER MELDT 30 GRADER OG SOL

Så kommer noen kryptiske meldinger på Tripadvisor kontoen

fra utleier av leiligheten;

Kort fortalt; LEILIGHETEN ER IKKE LEDIG!!!!

panikken er tilbake….

…..MEN han har en annen leilighet vi kan leie……

puh ( igjen)…

noen uforståelige meldinger frem og tilbake

og så plutselig en ny alarmerende melding tidlig i går morges:

«There is no booking ,trip advisor gave your deposit back and I’m not allowed to contact you due to there rules sorry»

Hvem leser ikke den meldingen som at vi ikke får leie leilighet likevel?????

KONTROLLFRIKEN FRIKET DERVED UT!!!

Kjæresten ble dradd ut av sengen  før fuglene våknet –

det var meldinger til trip advisor og utleier –

(og det var ikke hyggelige meldinger!)

telefoner til alle som hadde et snev av tilknytning til saken  –

og tekstmeldinger til kreti og pleti……

jeg saumfarte stedet for andre boliger og fant kun store villaer til ekstreme priser

jaja dette blir en dyr ferie tenkte jeg, nesten klar for å booke en av dem…..

men så kom endelig svaret fra utleier noen timer senere:

«My friend , you are not understanding what I’m saying there is a apartment for you here no problem at all , but you need to go back on TripAdvisor again pay a deposit then I except it you then pay the balance and we can then get each other’s contact details 
Our hosting time expired before we completed the booking»
Regards Jon

Så nå har roen endelig senket seg over ferien vår

I morgen drar vi på vår meget etterlengtede ferie

Golfutstyr er pakket sammen med bikinien

og vi gleder oss veldig…….

MEN FØRST SKAL VIL PÅ ROBBIE WILIAMS KONSERT I KVELD!!!

Gjett om vi gleder oss

og ingen fare;

det er jeg som har booket konsertbillettene

de kom på plass allerede i 2016

og ligger på sin helt spesielle plass i skuffen 🙂

HA EN STRÅLEDE HELG ALLE SAMMEN

KANSKJE VI SEES PÅ KOENGEN I KVELD??

Yes I can be some times…

Luckily my boyfriend forgives faster than the rain falls in Bergen 🙂

…..and let me tell you; that is damn fast!!

 

And what was the reason for my behavior??

GOLF 😦

Or more precise my failed attempt to play golf ….

I have been struggling with the game for a long periode now…

and a couple of weeks ago I just snapped completely 😦

I was ready to sell my golf clubs

….all golf vacation plans were on hold

and I cursed every hour spent on the golf course…

My poor boyfriend…

He saw the long awaited golf vacation disappear in front of him…

as his attempts to comfort or support me failed completely..

SHAME ON ME!!!

But I did manage to pull my self together,

and at the same time my son Mats came to my ( our 🙂 ) rescue yet again 🙂

He is the best golf trainer in the world – at least for me!!

He sees everything I do wrong

and he knows exactly what to do to make me change things..

So after hours on the training range, where I hit ball after ball under his instructions – I finally got it again… 🙂

We than went to Meland golf resort ( right outside Bergen) and I had a marvelous first round!!!

I got a par put ( that means I got the ball in the hole in the right amount of shots as if I didn’t have any handicap at all) And I was the only one who manage that on that round!

 

                               «the par put»

Of course I celebrated with a beer after the round 🙂

The day after we went to Voss ( up in the mountain , approximately 1,5 hour from where I live) And I played better than I have for a long time!!

I have to say that I appreciate so much the patience that my son Mats, his buddy Jens and my boyfriend are showing me… ( all 3 in the picture)

They support – help – boast and never makes me feel that I am a shitty player ( wich I am sometimes)

And when I do snapp and yell words that a mother never should yell in front of her son or the friend of her son – they laugh out loud…..and thats all right 🙂

because right now I am jumping with joy and I am super ready for golf playing yet again…

I have been told that tis is the most frustrating game of all – and YES it is!!

But it is also so much fun when you do well!!

The bitch is put back in the closet and back is the sweet, nice and good girlfriend….

and now the plans are set!!

Saturday we re leaving for Spain and Alende golf club

We will stay here for a week – thank you Jens for suggesting it! 🙂 🙂

after a week we will stay with family who owns a house not far from there 🙂

Thanks for the hospitality! we are so looking forward to it!

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SUN – HEAT – GOLF AND VACATION

❤ ❤ ❤

Update will come!!

Verdens største drittkjerring!!!

Ja det kan jeg faktisk være av og til…

Heldigvis har jeg verdens beste kjæreste som tilgir raskere

enn regnet detter ned i Bergen  🙂

Og hva var så årsaken til min dårlige oppførsel???

GOLF 😦

Eller rettere sagt: min mislykkede forsøk på å spille golf…

Jeg har vært i en fryktelig bølgedal med spillet mitt over lang tid….

og for noen dager siden klikket det bare fullstendig 😦

Jeg var klar for å selge køllene mine

…..alle planer om golf ferie var innstilt

og jeg forbannet alle timer jeg hadde brukt på golfbanen så langt….

Stakkars kjæresten….

Han så den etterlengtede ferien forsvinne i det fjerne….

samtidig som ethvert forsøk på å støtte/trøste meg falt på stengrunn…

FY MEG!!!

Men jeg klarte heldigvis å ta meg sammen, samtidig som  min sønn kom til min( vår) redning nok en gang 🙂

Han er verdens beste golf -trener ihvertfall for meg.

Han ser med en gang hva jeg gjør feil

og han vet hvordan han skal få meg til å endre på ting…

Så etter timer på golf-range ( treningsbane) hvor jeg slo ball på ball under hans instruksjoner – fikk jeg det endelig til igjen… 🙂

Deretter dro vi på Meland golfbane hvor jeg hadde en fantastisk første runde!!!

Jeg fikk par på et par 4 hull ( dvs at jeg fikk ballen i hullet på så mange slag man skal om man ikke har handikap!) og der fikk ingen av de andre så god score!!!

                               «par putten»

Det ble selvsagt feiret med en øl etter runden 🙂

Dagen etter dro vi til Voss hvor jeg også spilte mye bedre enn på lenge…

Jeg må få si at jeg setter utrolig pris på både min kjære sønn Mats, kompisen hans Jens  og ikke minst kjærestens tålmodighet…( alle 3 på bildet )

De støtter – hjelper – skryter og gir meg aldri følelsen av at jeg er dritt dårlig…( selv om jeg er det i blant…)

Og noen ganger når jeg skikkelig klikker og roper ord som en mor aldri burde rope i påhør av sine barn – ei heller kompisene til sine barn – så ler de godt…..og det er helt greit 🙂

For nå er jeg hoppende glad og super klar for golf igjen 🙂

Har hørt det er et ekstremt frustrerende spill – og JA det er det….

Men også utrolig gøy når man får det til!!

Dritt-kjerringen er stengt inne på kottet og tilbake er den snille, søte og gode kjæresten…..

Og nå har vi planene klare!

Lørdag drar vi til Spania og Alende golf club

Her skal vi være i en uke – takk til Jens som foreslo det 🙂 🙂 🙂

Deretter skal vi være 4 dager på besøk hos familie som har hus ikke så langt der fra 🙂Tusen takk for gjestfriheten!! Vi gleder oss veldig.

VI GLEDER OSS TIL SOL – VARME – GOLF OG FERIE

❤ ❤ ❤

Update kommer!!

Having a bad hair-day????

juli 31, 2017, posted in uncategorized, personal, life, livet, personlig, family, familie, kids, barn

Todays post in English

My hair grows incredible fast

it has always been like that

As a teenager I was so afraid to eksperiment with different hairstyles

If I cut it short one summer

it would be just as long the next if I wanted it to

I loved to change

try all sorts of colors

not all my project was a success…..

Today I was planning to give you a tour of all my hairstyles from the beginning right up to today…

 

MY FIRST HAIRSTYLE, STILL UNTOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS….

THE FIRST YEAR OF MY LIFE, MY MOTHER HAD A STRONG IMPACT ON HOW I LOOKED…

I WONDER WHAT SHE WAS THINKING….

I can understand why I wouldn’t smile on this photo…maybe my brother, ( who is smiling beside me) is the one who cut my hair??

Side parting of the century and look at the pattern of the dress!!!

At the small village where I lived my first years,

there was a hairdresser who had her salong in the basement of her house,

She cut the hair of all the kids in the area

Which was fortunate actually….

I wouldn’t want to be the only one showing up for school wit this hairstyle…….

OMG……

Getting older, I finally got to choose my hairstyle my self and I wanted it long…

notice the curtains in the picture on the left…

 

The hair was pretty long after a while….

But then I got bored with it, and cut it off…

And then it was time for my confirmation…..

Again my mother took me to the hairdresser

again someone else was deciding my hairstyle….

 

No comment….

I was a foreign exchange studen in the US and of course I had to get my high school picture taken..

I didn’t trust any hairdresser in the US

So I didn’t cut my hair that year

as a result my hair was pretty long when I returned home

and at that time curls ( hair perming) were quite popular

And the long hair stayed for some years – in different styles

BUT THAN I GOT BORED WITH IT AGAIN

AND I CUT IT SHORT…

I went from hair to the middle of my back – to very short and orange….my boyfriend didn’t even know I was going to the hairdresser……and he cried when I go home…

THE SHORT HAIR STAYED WITH ME FOR A WHILE AND ALSO CAME IN MANY DIFFERENT STYLES….

 

SUDDENLY I GOT TIRED OF IT

AND LUCKY ME

IT GREW BACK VERY FAST

AND THAN IT WAS LONG AGAIN

 

I repeated the success of cutting it very short when I it was long. one more time…

At that time it wasn’t only my boyfriend who was crying…

One of my sons, who was 7 at the time, sat outside our house crying his eyes out

«What has happened» someone asked him

And my son replied;

«My mom is bald»

THE LATER YEARS I HAVE VARIED BETWEEN LONG – HALF LONG AND SHORT HAIR….

I MAY NOT EKSPERIMENT AS MUCH AS I DID RIGHT NOW….

BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO CHANGE YOUR HAIRSTYLE

IT IS JUST AS FUN, AND NOT AS LASTING…

 

RIGHT NOW MY HAIR IS PRETTY LONG, BUT WHO KNOWS? IT CAN BE SHORT BEFORE YOU KNOW IT….

I WISH YOU ALL » A GOOD HAIR – DAY»

❤ ❤ ❤

FY FLATE!!!!!

EG E DRITGO I GOLF!!!

Jepp det er helt sant!!!

Ihvertfall er jeg dritgod i golf  – i Spania!!

Jaja……alt er jo relativt….

Jeg truer nok ikke Tutta med det første…

PGA får vente et par år til…😀

Men jeg spiller mye bedre enn jeg har gjort…

Her er et utdrag fra et tidligere blogginnlegg hvor jeg forklarer hvordan «handicap» fungerer i golf;

Et par 4 hull betyr at man skal ha ballen i hullet på 4 slag uten handicap og da har jeg som regel 3 ekstra slag – altså 7 slag. Bruker jeg 8 slag får jeg bare 1 poeng og bruker jeg 9 slag får jeg ingen poeng. Men klarer jeg det på 6 slag så får jeg 3 poeng og 5 slag så får jeg 4 poeng etc….

På en 18 hulls runde skal man ha 36 poeng for å spille til handikappet sitt, som man sier, altså få 2 poeng på hvert hull, men det er en buffersone som gjøre det greit å spille litt under. Får man mer enn 36 poeng, så skriver man seg ned til lavere handicap ( dvs man har blitt bedre) Har man slått dårlig og gått under buffersonen så skriver man seg opp igjen ( man har altså blitt dårligere 🙂

Jeg begynte på 54 og har nå 49 i handicap. Målet er 36 i år 🙂

ER DERE MED?

Jeg reiste altså ned hit med 49 i handicap og det har jeg hatt i hele år….

I vår og sommer har jeg slitt med spillet og selv ting jeg fint klarte tidligere har vært elendig…..

Men før vi reiste hadde jeg meg noen timer på range ( treningsbanen) med min sønn og ting begynte å løsne.

Ikke minst fikk jeg til svingen med Driveren min  – og det er viktig for det er den vi slår med når vi begynner på et hull – og den skal vi slå langt med…..

Når jeg ikke klarte det, ble jeg liggende langt bak og da er det vanskelig å nå frem til hullet på få slag…

Men så kom vi hit

til vakre omgivelser

tørre baner

feilfrie gressplener på fairway ( = den lange gressplenen som vi spiller på før vi kommer frem til hullet og som har litt høyere gress enn green = plenen rundt hullet)

greener så flotte at vi lurer på om det er et teppe vi spiller på……..

 

OG JEG SPILLER DRITBRA!!!!

Som dere leste lenger oppe – så skal man ha 36 poeng for å spille til sitt handicap

Jeg fikk 44 på første runde!!!! og datt helt ned på 41 i handicap!!

Neste dag hadde jeg 9 færre ekstra slag fordi jeg hadde fått nytt handicap og jeg var litt redd for at det skulle bli veldig vanskelig å spille så godt igjen….

Da fikk jeg 41 poeng!!! Og nådde dermed målet i år; 36 i handicap!!!!

Det ble selvsagt feiret på terrassen til klubbhuset som seg hør og bør 🙂

Og ikke bare det – jeg har ikke mistet en eneste ball enda….jeg spiller på samme ball som jeg begynte med…..

 det er faktisk en bragd i seg selv……

det betyr at jeg ikke har slått i vannet eller inn i skog og kratt……ihvertfall ikke uten å finne ballen igjen 🙂

Jeg er storfornøyd med å ha nådd 36 I handicap – det var målet i år…..

Blir spennende å komme hjem og spille i Norge igjen…..

Våte tunge baner er nok ikke like tilgivende….ballen ruller ikke så langt og det er tyngre å slå i vått og langt gress ……

Men i verste fall får jeg bare flytte ned hit 🙂

Dette er det livet jeg var ment til å leve 🙂

HA EN STRÅLENDE DAG ALLE SAMMEN -DERE FINNER MEG PÅ GOLFBANEN

❤ ❤ ❤

 

 

 

 

WORRIED!!!!!!

Todays post in English

We finally went on our vacation….

That was my first worry; would we go anywhere at all this year??? Or would we end up staying home in the pouring rain, playing golf at soaked fields?

We hadn’t booked anything when the vacation started, but there where some loose ideas….

And then suddenly…..within 2 days the trip to Spain was booked…..

With the airline Norwegian…..

So then my next worry surfaced……delay…….that seem to be  Norwegians trademark this summer…

I might be a bit unjust saying that – I have travelled with Norwegian many times, 3 times to Thailand among others – and they have always been  right on time….except for this March when we had to stay a day longer in the Canary Island due to delay…

But there has been a lot of delays this summer – so I was worried……

BUT

Norwegian was punctual both in leaving Norway and arriving Spain

We had booked real cheap tickets to Murscia ( wich is about an hour drive from the resort we were going to) and the plane was not full at all:

We landed as I said right on time – both suitcases and golf gear came quickly, which I also had worried about…..wouldn’t be the same on a golf resort without our golf gear…

And it was hot!! Very Hot: 31 degrees celsius / 87,8 farenheit at 8.15 pm)

…..we walked straight to the shutlebus who drove us to the rental car company. Where they tried to sell us several » very cheap» insurances for the car, but this control freak had already read all the small letter writings and knew we had all the insurance that we needed 🙂

As a «penalty» we had to pay a deposit for 1000 euro, which we will get back when returning the car undamaged……so no it is placed in a garage and will only be used in an emergency;)  so no worries there at least 🙂

Another worry I had was how we would fit all the luggage into the little car we rented??? we had 2 golf bags + a large and a small suitcase and our self!….I was pretty sure the car didnt have a roof rack….

It turned out just fine….I couldnt see shit out the rear window,but no suitcases were left behind.

And then it was the drive…..on a highway in a small Fiat….with all the crazy Spanish drivers in front,on the side and behind…anf the sudden dark as if someone has hit the lightswitch..

Of course I was the driver – my boyfriend doesnt like airplanes so he medicates his anxiety with Underberger🍹

Ergo;  » he is not a designated driver!»

The drive started with a fight in the first roundabout ……- but we were smart and blamed it on the GPS lady…so we could stay friends……

The rest of the drive went just fine! Little traffic the most of the way and GPS is really Gods gift to tourists on the road…..We drove straight on to the resort and arrived at 10 pm Saturday evening.

My next worry was the apartment….It wasn’t the one we originally wanted to book, and the pictures the landlord had sent from this one, looked like something from grandmas youth….. but when the pictures arrived we had no choice, the tickets were booked and we needed somewhere to stay…

We also looked up the landlord; John on facebook and OMG!!! – not very smart to put photoshopped pictures of your self with long hanging tits when you are in the business of renting out houses…!!

I was very apprehensive and didnt know that the photo wasnt real…..and when we texted him to tell him we had landed he answered with this text;

«Sorry for how I will look – red head from sunburn and Ginparty with my friends tonight»

But John was a real nice guy – he met us at the gate – showed us the garage and took us to the apartment ( wich looked much better than the photos) And he had bought us water and a bottle of champagne!

FINALLY WE WERE HERE!!!

I WISH YOU ALL A DAY WITH NO WORRIES

❤ ❤ ❤

 

The «control freak» is freaking out!!

Todays post in English

OMG

Yesterday morning there was a complete chaos in our house…

the day before we had been in the mountains ( voss) to play golf..

 

in our bag we ha a couple of beers each…

it was our vacation and my son had promised to drive home

 

After 18 holes we went for pizza before driving bak home

in the restaurant we started to talk about going to Spain to play golf next week

as said, it was our vacation – but we had not made any plans yet…

«we´ll look into it when we get back home» I said

I dont like to order or make bookings with my phone – I NEED a computer – I NEED to be able to investigate every possibility – I NEED to make the booking myself – I NEED full control!

YES I AM A CONTROLFREAK!!

…but in the backseat on the way home, my then euphorically boyfriend and my sons buddy  started to look up available apartments and airline tickets….

before I knew it the apartment was booked…

without me seeing any pictures…

«It looks great» my boyfriend jodles from the backseat..

even the fact that it has a kitchen ( which I think is quite mandatory for an apartment) excites my boyfriend at this time….

I can feel the sweat break at my forehead…..

And then they find very cheap airline tickets going to Spain..

«we´ll find the return tickets later – it will all turn out great» the globetrotter in the back proclaims…..

I can feel the adrenaline starting to boil – I want to scream – but I try to keep calm….

The next day, we start the hunt for plane tickets for the return, of course they are insanely expensive…

but finally I do manage to find some at an ok price, but 4 days later than we had planned to go back home…

I feel brave and book them without having any place to stay the last 4 days in Spain…

«It has to work out – right? » I think to my self, while images of me and my boyfriend sleeping on the dirty pavement in Spain, runs trough my head…

A cousin of mine who owns a house not far from there – luckily comes to our rescue and invites us to stay with them for the last days of our vacation.

puh…..

I book a rental car from the airport and for our entire stay in Spain –

and finally I can breath normally again…

Now everything is ready!!

AND I AM STARTING TO LOOK FORWARD TO IT ALL – IT IS ONLY 2 DAYS AHEAD!!!

AND THE WEATHER FORECAST ARE PROMISSING 30 DEGREES ( *C)  86 (*F)

Then som cryptic messages are arriving on our Trip advisor account…

from the guy renting out his apartment;

In short: THE APARTMENT ISNT AVAILABLE!!!

the panic is back…..

…..BUT he has another apartment we can rent if we want…

puh ( again)…

some strange messages back and forth

and then suddenly an alarming messages arrived yesterday morning:

«There is no booking ,trip advisor gave your deposit back and I’m not allowed to contact you due to there rules sorry»

Who does not read that messages as if there is no apartment for us???

AND THE CONTROLFREAK FREAKS OUT!!!

My boyfriend got dragged out of bed before the birds woke….

there were messages to the landlord and trip advisor…..

( and it was not cosy messages!)

phone calls to anyone who might have the slightest connection to the case…

and text messages to who ever I thought of at the time

I looked everywhere for some other apartment to rent – and I could only find big villas  in an extreme price range

«Well this is turning out to be one hel…… of av vacation» I thought – ready to book one of the houses…

But finally an answer from the landlord came:

«My friend , you are not understanding what I’m saying there is a apartment for you here no problem at all , but you need to go back on TripAdvisor again pay a deposit then I except it you then pay the balance and we can then get each other’s contact details 
Our hosting time expired before we completed the booking»
Regards Jon

So finally I feel calm about our plans

tomorrow we leave for a much wanted vacation…..

The golf gear is packed with the bikini

and we are so looking forward to it….

BUT FIRST WE ARE GOING TO A ROBBIE WILLIAMS CONCERT TONIGHT!!!

Are we looking forward to that!!!

and no worries;

I booked those tickets

they were already in the house in 2016

and has their on little space in my draw 🙂

I WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

MAYBE I SEE YOU TONIGHT AT THE CONCERT?

❤ ❤ ❤
