Hahaha. Air condition. Good joke. The meeting took 4,5 hours and it started at 10:00 am. No lunch break. :faint:
Why do bosses love to listen to themselves talking?!

I totally agree with you. How can they think their audience is going to listen to them for more than 4 hours without thinking of their shopping list, what they are going to have for lunch , the vet's bill, the delivery of the new fridge or more serious issues?

Puh! Moving van came and left again. There were up to 12 people, two trucks (didn‘t even know I had so much stuff). Now almost all furniture is where it belongs. But there are boxes and chaos everywhere.
But my bags have moved safely and will arrive at their new shelves today!

Glad your bags arrived safely! Boxes will be unpacked when you get a chance one at a time.

And now, let me ask Copenhagen outright--Why did your quick-fingered street hordes steal my f***ing raincoat? :annoyed:
I needed it in Oslo.

No idea. I guess they think they have something interesting to say. :P
Tomorrow we have another meeting. WITH lunch break. Thank God.

Very happy to hear that your bags are safe and sound at your new home. And the other stuff, too. ;)
Unpacking will work out well!

That seagull was hilarious!

Is another statue of Ibsen, looking from his room window. As did later in life.
Quite a character.

Boo to street thieves. Karma man.
Yay to new raincoat.
Mom and the girls have learned not to keep anything good in coat pockets for same reason.
Photos look amazing. Envy.

Ah well. New raincoat better for Oslo's crazy on/off showers.
Worked out.
Thanks. Watching for ninjas.:wink:

Guess bag is as exhausted as I am.

Aaaaaand I did some stress related damage at a final chance summer sale. :rolleyes:
I mean how can you pass on a „final chance“?!
(@Mariapia - we have very similar shopping habits. We buy when stressed and in bunches....:hugs:)

I love related damage purchases. They are generally the best, Ludmilla.:smile:
So, now we want to know about that final sale...:love:;)

Hehe.
I think I will keep you guessing a bit.
* I already have a bag of this brand and it is very special to me, because it was the gift of a very dear friend and because the brand is not easily available here.
* It looks like Hermes Garden Party.
* It is two coloured. One colour is brown the other is apricot.

Happy guessing.
