Bugs v Rain

Thursday I got the day off to celebrate my cousin Ailas 14th birthday and it was so lovely! Bestefar og Bestemor were there along with Frode, Pia and Aila and then me :)
It was so lovely to be surrounded by people who knew me and knew how to be with me and knew I liked herbal tea and they have the actual leaves as aposed to the teabag which tastes so much nicer! Also I got to see what they were all upto and I could openly talk about what I plan to do with my art stuff and just have a really calm time with no stress of whether I should help with this.. is this insulting... should I get up too and help with making the coffee or whatever because with the family they know you're not being rude because you're not that type of person you just didnt realise that everyone else had already stood up or whatever! I hope you can decipher my words. It was a nice time surrounded by lovely people and I am happy they are all part of my family.

I hadn't slept at all well for a long time and I had been getting quite tense and emotional and i hadn't realised till I saw them and they all managed to put me down a gear and I had a great sleep on that Thursday and felt so much better. My gratitude towards them is huge.

On the Friday it was back to work in the fields and it rained tremendously. I loved it. Barely any bugs at all and I got to wear my big red wellies :D but I got back and I was soaked through all the way down through my overalls, clothes and onto my underwear! AND the bugs that do come out in the rain are moths!! Favourite insects :D and they were the dainty little white ones :)
On the wayback a nice, fat, bigger than my thumb wasp was hanging around on one of the gates I had to open but it tootled off.

ALSO on the way back from the field I had to walk through a cow field and it was really big and the path was narrow and it was quite scary because I could see some younger cows and usually if you go to close (which i had to to get anywhere) the bigger scarier cows would charge you and wind you by headbutting your belly (and one of them actually made the gesture of it quite close to me) and then they as a team would try and trample you to death... SO everytime they came closer to try and intimidate me away from the path i needed to go down i had to yell at them and one of my yells was a bit shaky and they picked up on it and walked closer :( but by then they were all behind me and i walked quickly to get under and past the electric fence. scary cows.

Anyway, tomorrow I will go to Bergen to see a few art galleries and go to this crazy antique shop which i will have to take a photo of because it's literally packed full of everything you can imagine including type writers, banjos, guitars, frames, cutlery, cameras, dolls, cups, teapots, brass teapots and the list goes on.

Dietrich I hope you make it to Ireland.. me you chris and ryan will all have to go together sometime as Ryan has a lot of family there too :) that could be interesting. xxxxxxxxx

I am in Norway, living and working on a farm..
I got told on Tuesday about the offer and I left my home on Thursday to then be back on the 3rd of September. Very srtressful, quite rushed and very overwhelming.
Glad I'm here!
First day my Uncle picked me up from the airport and fed me, took me fishing in a fjord which was very fun and then let me flick through all these really cool art books!
Next day met the family and had a BBQ, met lots of Arne Dales relatives (who is my boss).
Day after we went to a fjord to paddle in Gremvin and we had icecream and the little boys learnt their first English word "no" frm me dropping some icecream and saying "oh nooooo" to which they loved and decided to copy for a good 10 minutes... much to the their mothers dismay who is Thai and keeps giving me marriage advise!
She is lovely though and really looking after me.
Nextday I SWAM in the fjord and we went to a really cool art gallery owned by a man who owned that house and another house a few steps away and he was really tall with really long grey hair and his paintings were vey bold and dark and very cynical of human nature which i loved!
Next day was the first workday where I was using a curved sharp bit of metal on a stick to prune one of the fields full of to-be blackcurrents which will be ripe for the picking in 2 weeks.
By pruning I mean hacking at giant chunks of grass and really tall nettles (taller than mee!)very good. my hands ache a little.
anyway must help with dinner which is always nice.
Missing home lots but it is very beautiful here and i have things to do <3 x

Blabbathon

I went to wimbledon.
That's right, we won tickits at a tennis club my mum and dad go too.
So we joined all the tennis fanatics, the "classy" people, the wannabe "classy" people, the people who you realy want to stab because they are spoilt brats and talk in whiny voices and don't apologize when the practically walk into you. The type who flick their hair and laugh with perfect teeth whilst wearing labels and expensive perfume. The type who think that they are all the next big thing and that it would be your privalige to kiss the underbelly of their feet.
Fair to say... i almost commited murder... but all I was armed with was an M&S salad (kindly provided for me by the mama) and a bottle of water.
Do you know what all the posh twats ate???? GREASY PIZZA!!!
All this money and they spend it on a grease filled cardboard box! Fucking hell.

This world is too upside down.
The majority of our rich kids are assholes who expext everything to go there way... i wonder where they'll be once mummy and daddy die... probably married off to some rich guy... fucking hell.
I'll put some pictures on here once I've gotten over how ridiculous they were. toodles.
