Mission Ikea

They opened up a new Ikea store in Brisbane today, 4 times bigger than the older one. With heaps of great offers, like a 9 dollar foot stool, we had to make the trip. Sadly enough we weren't the only ones that had that idea. The car park was full when we got there, so we were redirected to a field pretty far from Ikea.

They had shuttles going to and from this field every 20 minutes. We reached Ikea after a bit of waiting, which by the way looks pretty much like Ikea at Forus, and the shopping could start. There were not an uncomfortable amount of people, but I don't think it would have been a day for my mother to visit the store.

Ate Swedish meat balls and has lots of free samples of Daim, sånn kaga me gule krem, Balerina and Sangrina cookies. Foods you can't really get in Brisbane. So that was cool. Had a pretty nice day. Seeing some of the staff dressed up in cheap copies of the Swedish bunad almost brought me to tears. Not...

Paraplyvær

Skikkeligt paraplyvær for tiå, men isje fordi det regne altså.
Den sterke solå har skylden. E vel mest vanligt blant de øve 30 og asiater.
Og det bør vel nevnas at de fleste paraplybrukerene e hunkjønn. Personlig har vel hverken rynke- eller hudkreftfaren virkeligt festa seg hos meg. De solstrålene så kan trenga seg gjennom sminken e hjerteligt velkomne. Som nordmenn flest prioritere eg heller det å bli brune enn å vasa rundt me ein paraply når det strengt tatt isje e heilt nødvendigt.

E ennå isje heilt vant me (nesten) bare fint vær. Følelsen av panikk og angst når eg våkne opp te ein overskyå himmel e riktignok isje så sterke lenger så an pleidå å ver. Solå har ein tendens te å dukka opp igjen ganske kjapt - men du vett jo aldri.

Surfers Paradise

Spent Saturday in Surfers Paradise, an hour's drive from Brisbane. Were a couple of hours on the beach, but had to leave earlier than we planned because it became quite windy. The temperature was good though, and the water was really nice.

Spent the rest of the day shopping and touring Surfers. Ate lots of ice cream and just chilled, really got the holiday feel.

Unfortunately the whole beach was in the shade by the time I remembered to take pics.

Desperate Housewives

New Desperate Housewives (Frustrerte fruer) episodes are out! Very exited about that. Seen two episodes so far=) Still very dramatic of course, already had a murder.

Got post from Norway the other day, two magazines from mormor. Tanx. Read them by the pool while tanning. Went for my first swim in the pool afterwards. Water was a bit cold for my liking, but I guess the temperature was not that bad.

The Brisbane Broncos Won!

Just wanted to let you know that at least one of my teams are doing well. The Broncos, Brisbane's rugby team, won the final 15-8. To say that people were happy is an understatement. Heard Viking finally won a game too. Congrats=)
