corner view bergen, norway: september

so far, september has been:
- happy to be back home from our vacation
- equally happy that we did go on vacation
- cuddling our new, oh so sweet kitten
- enjoying an early, moist and warm autumn
- exploring the idea of not eating gluten, milk products and sugar
- and therefore making no sugar/milk/gluten candy and cakes, with success (!)
- enjoying a much needed computer break
- being so behind on my blog reading that i'm not sure where to start, so therefore i don't
- anticipating the national election
- realizing that damn, parliamentarism is difficult
- nevertheless, being very content with the result

how's your september?

  5. Welcome back, therese!
    - I was hoping to hear about your vacation in the sun
    - I love your kitty, I always wanted an orange and black cat to name "frittata" (orange and black is how my omelettes turn out)
    - I was on a no gluten and dairy produts diet for a year, and for the first 2 months I didn't know what to eat
    - I need to read up on norwegian politics
    Ciao.

  6. Happy september! You need to share some of those no sugar/milk recipes! And I agree with you on the blog reading, I have been away for a while too and don't know where to start reading....

  8. My September has been SUNNY (to make up for the very rainy June), BUSY, and without a lot of time to make things with my hands...
    Still knitting. And I started on a pair of pajama pants for a tiny little girl: waist=20", inseam=14" (with room to grow!) This has nourished my heart!

    Yes, I know what you mean about getting behind with blog-reading...It adds up.

    I have missed you!

  9. I was about to write "ease up on the september "homework-catching-up-feeling" but then, re-reading the post I realised you really seem to be enjoying life (catching up and all) more than most people so... here's to your september, bottoms up! :)

  10. franscesca: frittata!! that's hilarious! oh, don't bother with the politics, i'll give you the short version: social democracy. now under threat from right winged politics, which has already taken over in most of scandinavia. people are going like this; social democracy has made our country one of the best and safest countries in the world. "yay! let's throw the government!"...
    ...
    iris: sounds like you're knitting doll's clothes! i've missed you too, all of you! but i think i need a longer computer break. or some pills to make me turn the machine off when i've spent more than one hour in front of it..

  11. la ninja: thanks! yes, i'm enjoying life. and i'm not really catching up. i'm saving it for a long, rainy, boring weekend all by myself (which we all know will never happen;))

  16. WauW that first photo, super!

    Welcome back and i love to read about your experience and recepies of the sugarless, glutenfree food!

  17. What a cute cat that is! On the gluten, milk issue, my daughter has lactose intolerance so we've been in that situation for many years now and she's as healthy as any other eight-year-old. So, fret not.

    Greetings from London.

  18. demara: no zooming. i pushed my camera right up in her face, meaning to get a good shot of her eyes, and then she yawned. you can see a blurred spot in the top of the photo - that's her breath from her nose :)

  22. I love your cat's mouth very much, but I admit it is getting a little, um, predictable. ;)
