not so spooky after all

Is it to late to make a post about our pumpkin this year, no?! Well then...
Poor little thing, just after one day sitting on our balcony the carved pumpkin collapsed, better luck next year right!
Good thing I have a very young son, we have a couple of years to make all these festive days perfect before he start to remember (still it will haunt me though). So practice makes perfect!

A friendly looking "Jack The Pumpkin King"

We also made some pumpkin pie for dessert that day, oh my, let me tell you, it was so nice. I never had pumpkin pie before. So this will end up on our Christmas dessert table this year (if I can get my hands on some more pumpkin that is).

A good, lazy Halloween (as I said, we are practicing for the Halloweens that will come). Next year it will be more decorations, costumes and the whole shebang!

Just one more thing before I go: After Halloween I always LOVE to look at pictures what other people wore as costumes. And this one you just have to see, a couple that dressed up as Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in black and white... they where literally in black and white! Amazing!

If you have not visited the Here's looking at me kid blog yet, you kinda have to. Let me tell you, prettiness all over!

and then...

... I got sick! Stupid airplane air conditioner! I didn't have mine on, but everyone else seemed to. Breathing that same air over and over again, people sneezing everywhere. Seriously I didn't have a chance!


But I will soon be better, and then I will have more time to do a proper post!
For now I'm popping painkillers and making myself ready for work (no rest for the wicked).


I'll be right back!

"The Scandinavian Mystery Tour"

Last weekend (I know a bit to late to talk about last weekend now, but I have had a bit going on so). 
Anyway, Saturday was this perfect mysterious Scandinavian autumn day; lingering mist, crisp air, dew grass, and red and yellow leaves falling like raindrops to the ground!

We chose this day to take a tram- ride to a city farm we had read about

Me, acting like; "what-are-you-taking-my-picture-I-had-no-idea", but I knew!

Leaves, not the prettiest once though. Outside our house there's piles and piles of (what I think is) oak leaves, I better take a picture of those instead.

When we get our own house one day, I ought to make it one with a grass roof. So Norwegian, so beautiful!

Finally at the City Farm, there was lots of strange looking hens...

... horses (not so many of them in there boxes though)...

...and birds that gave Angry Birds a whole new meaning!

This is probably very normal for a sheep to do (otherwise, why would there be a mirror, right!?), but this was so cute, he stood there looking in that mirror for quite sometime (there was plenty of other sheeps around, so he wasn't alone). CUTE! 

cows, pigs you name it, the farm probably had it... but, nothing is better then an old fashioned playground visit. So before heading home, we played for a bit.

o, there I am again, "more" aware of the camera. And finally there's beret weather, hate those in the middle periods, when there is sort of to warm to wear one, and to cold not to, if that make sense! This one is my favourite vintage one, in pea-green from Mary Quant.

How magical is this!?

The Tourist!

We had a day this weekend when we decided to go all tourists in our fairly new town.
A little sightseeing!

It was this beautiful day, the sun was shining, just perfect (I promise you we have had our fair share of rain since we moved over here, it has been crazy, London all over again) 

I think Norwegian people have a thing for avenues made out of trees, I think this might be their thing (in addition to cross country skiing and brown cheese of course)

Autumn is so beautiful in Scandinavia, I had almost forgot the changing colours and the not-warm-nor-cold- temperatures. But you just wait four months, my tone to Scandinavia will change, then it will be warnings for heavy swearing!

Perfect weather for me: flats, leggings or tights, a beret and good chances to take the sailor jacket off

Nice view overlooking the Oslo fjord

Since that time at the circus my son has been obsessed with elephants. Here's me trying to convince my son that the prospects of us finding an elephants that particular day was not that good... but... but! One could never know! Safe to say however, we did not meet any elephants that day! Unfortunately!
