Don't give up

there will be a solution 

If I hear this stupid sentence one more time, I scream, I swear I scream as loud as possible.

1 dog, 6 cats (maybe only 5, Blanchette is still missing) and I need a place to go to after we have sold this house. If we ever sell this house!

I can't look for a house, as long as I don't know, how much we will get for this one.
I can't rent a house, since I don't know, where I will find a place and even if, renting cost money. Money --- what money?
Go ask for social help --- yeah of course, but then I have to stay in Norway.

And every time I get to here: There will be a solution.

Can you hear me?
I'm SCREAMING

Doubts

I wish, I could have a look into the crystal ball ...

2 more weeks and many people have said, they will come to help. And I have the bad feeling, that most of them will only be here for one reason --- the party after the big work.
If this work will ever take place at all.

Ok, let's think, all will really work out, all will be done and fine and we can get an estimator to find out, how much money we can ask for.
And let's think, we are really that lucky to sell the farm.

H. will move to Larvik and T. can for sure live for a while either at L.'s place or with C. or make his dream come true, buy a boat and live there.

And what's with me?
Ok, I know know, that I would like to move to Denmark. And a lot of where, how, and from what, is kicking in.
Oh, don't you worry, everything will work out, you'll find a place --- honestly, I have enough, this isn't any comforting sentence for me.
I'm 64, my pension will be extremely little and the most scariest thought is popping up again --- for what, why should I keep going?

If I would have a goal, anything I could look forward to, but all I see is the big nothing.
Nothing and too many doubts.

And I remember the day, when Klaus called me and told me, that I don't need to worry anymore. That he put me into his last will.
It was Valentines day in 2020 when someone pulled the floor away under my feet and 2 days later, when I called the lawyer and all he said was: There is no last will. --- and hung up, before I could ask anything.

Well, I wouldn't call it: no need to worry 
 

Summer

We had some really wonderful and warm summer days, up to 38 C degree :)

Yesterday the temperature  got down to 14 C degree, very windy and some rain, starting around 3 am with thunder and lightning.
But we got a lot done and the farm is looking better with every day. Only 2 more weeks and many people will come to help us painting the house and the barn and fixing some huge projects.
Honstly, for me it will be interesting to see, how many really will help. The years here in Norway have shown me, that 99% are nothing but big mouth.
I hope so much, that it will be different this time.
The disappointment for T. would be extreme, just for him I wish, people really will help.

Summertime

It's full summer, it's very warm and I enjoy every day :)

Side effect, I'm barely online and because of that, I forget to check in here often enough. Otoh, not much to write, except how beautiful the weather is.
Yesterday I harvested over 2 kilo with yellow cherries and I wonder, if any from my huge tree are left, cause the birds are haveing a feast.

Oh, and on Friday night I was on another Fusion party in Oslo, and this was my last one for sure. Again the music didn't touch me, I got tired very early and T. brought me to the car, so I can lay down for a bit until he and his girl wanted to go home.
It didn't took long, just some minutes and thunder and lightning started and then the rain set in.

So the party was over for them as well. 2 hours driving and we were back home quarter to 4 in the morning.
All in all it was 4 hours driving for being there for 3 hours, not worth the drive, absolutely not!

Changes

It's beautiful weather and I just can't sit inside.

Going through the garden and seeing the cherries getting ripe and many red currant are already fine to eat. The black ones still need many more hours with sun.

I have the feeling, summer just began, but the fruits are telling me otherwise. What will I see next year? Will I even be at another place? Will my dream finally come true and we can sell this year?
Just to imagine, to be in Denmark in the winter time, not masses of snow, not minus 30 C degree. Strong weather, yes, lots of storms for sure, but still not that cold like here.
In my mind I can see my house, see the rooms and my garden. I really don't have a clue, where exactly it will be, but it doesn't matter at all.

Just to know where to go is a huge step forward. No more thoughts, no more doubts and the best, not really learning a new language, just some words used in a different way, and, as someone told me, that I have to think about it as another dialect.
Funny way, but yes, the similarities between Norway and Danish will help a lot.

I feel so much calmer since the Aya-ceremonies, so much more relaxed, so many worries, that are gone. I find myself smiling, just like that and even to look into a mirror isn't a horror anymore :)

Weird questions

Yesterday, after I wrote, that I'm back home, I got 2 mails.
The first, that she will call later and the second mail, if she is allowed to call.

When she called, she asked a very weird question, if this is our good bye now.

I was puzzled, said No, why? and she responded, because of bad experiences in the past.
She must have been on an extreme guilt trip.

It made me wonder, really, cause 2 years ago I told her, that even though we had extreme hard times together, I'm thankful, because without treating me as the black sheep of the family, I wouldn't be whom I am today.

---------------------------------

Full sunshine yesterday and I got a lot done.
Mixed beginning today, turning into dark sky and a short but extreme strong storm. I was on to my way inot the house on the stairs and it really pushed me aside, so I had to hold onto the handrail --- WOW 
Still very windy, but I will see to get the rest of the wood out of the barn into the cellar.

Too much

Back home again and ways too much to write down at once.

So instead of writing a post, I will start a page about the most exciting, scary, wonderful, frightful, lovely experience I've ever had.
It won't be written in a day or two, it will take time, cause I have to process so much.
And even though I'm back home now for some hours, I'm still not here.

There is a part of me, a little piece of my heart, that decided to stay in Denmark.
And now I really can't wait to sell my farm, even though it shows its best face, like every summer.

I got my call and it is Denmark calling for me to move there.

Honestly, this excitement I was waiting for, it's here, it's strong and really amazing.

And everyone, who grew up like I did, will understand my love for that special kind of nature, so similar to the area of Husum, Garding and this tiny little place named Sieversfleth, now incorporated into Tetenbüll.

https://3dgalleria.it/render/_data/i/upload/2026/07/05/20260705170054-7fd9a0aa-me.jpg

This is a screenshot from google maps, just to show the place I was living with my parents for some years.
It was known as Sieversfleth, but was incorporated many, many years ago into Tetenbüll (and I think, it's a shame!)

And if you don't really see, what you're looking at, it's the place where you can see on Monday, who will come to visit you on Sunday :D

 

28/06/2026

Tomorrow

My journey will beginn tomorrow and I'm so excited :)

And maybe I will come back, free of PTSD, after almost 2 years living under permanent stress and depression. 
Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

Just right now I don't even know, what I could write more, so this short note will do :)

Have I mentioned, that I'm excited?

OMG, I am!

Decaf

Ok, I'm not allowed to drink anything with coffein. But the habit of having my 2 cups with coffee every morning *sigh*

So i got some decaf coffee ---

honestly?

Taking out the coffein, but at the same time leaving no taste at all?
Nothing else than gnat's piss (excuse my french).
And the next, same like acohol free beer BS
There is still some alcohol left in that "beer" and so it is with decaf and coffein.

What a waste of money and such a big disappointment. At least it could have some taste, but nope.
Hot water with brown color = gnat's piss

Low, lower, lowest

Yesterday I hit bottom, had my absolute low point.

I was listening to a podcast and H. came in, stood behind me, I stopped the video, he turned around and walked out.
He did it twice, kind of an old "joke" and I had told him times before, that I don't find it funny.

Well, yesterday I clicked, it was just the last drop of a series of things happening here, and I couldn't take it anymore.

All the thoughts, the worries, everything cumulated.

Selling this farm, looking for another place to go, Italy at best, but open to other countries as well.
I soo wantd to leave Norway!

It won't happen :(
I can ask here for social help, just because of all the years I'm living here.
I can't do it in any other country, that's a fact.

And I don't wanna do it here either!
But I don't have a chance.

This farm is clean, no loans, no debts at all.
So we will get out with a big plus, but anyway, this money will be gone very fast.
Buy something somewhere and live for maybe 5 years, that's it.
Or rent something, alone the rent will use up the money faster than I even wanna think about it.

So I have to ask for help and live the rest of my life, depending on social welfare :(

Thank you Klaus, thank you for just leaving/dying and the lie you told me, about me being in your last will.
Or was I, and your mafiosi mother and lawyer deleted it?
Still strange to think about, when I called your lawyer, only said my name and he said "there is no last will" and hung up the phone.
Until this day there are so many questions open, no one wanna answer.
Not your mother and not this mafioso lawyer.

Or is there a miracle waiting for me?
Maybe a littler shimmering light at the end of the tunnel?
Is there anyone responsible for miracles?
And if, whom can I ask?

The past

Just forget the past, never think about it again --- it would be amazing in so many cases and - of course - only for the bad ones.

But from time to time the memories pop up, just like that and the pain is back as well.
And I wonder, if some people are at least ashamed for treating me like an option.

Special those ones, that took with big open hands, telling me, that they will be forever gratefull and then just silence me out, ghosting me, as if I don't exist.
Best friend -- oh how much I wish, she would read this now!
And btw Susanne, one day I will write it all down, and in German, just for you, but open to read for everyone, who can read and understand German.

Maybe I will be free then, and leave the past behind me, for good that time.

If you treat me like an option, you don't deserve me!

Btw. this sentence goes for everyone!

Show some respect and don't just call, if you need something!

Sleepless in Norway

There was no sleep for me from the 9. to the 10. and when I went to bed yesterday, it was 7:30 pm.
I woke up at 0:30 am, drank a bit and slept to a bit over 9:30 today.

This insomnia is awful and I am stupid!
I could take a pill, but my reluctance to do so is immense.

I always denied to take any pills and since I got Sobril from the stupid doctor and went straight into an addiction, the reluctance is even bigger.

So for now I just hope, that the next attack of laying awake a whole night will wait for many, many weeks!

Word play

Language is such a fantastic thing.

Yesterday I watched Undertaking Betty, a dark comedy, trivial but nicely done.

Betty, married with a man who's fooling around.
Boris, who fell in love with her, when he was a young boy, running the funeral home in the little town both are living in.

He got Betty to accept his plan, that she is going to have a deadly accident, but of course would survive, so she can be free from her husband.

Undertaker, undertaking, that's such a great wordplay for this movie.

Undertaking as in German Unternehmen, can mean a business (witch capital U) or an action (with small u)
Undertaker, correct translated by the meaning funeral director - Bestattungsunternehmer

Beside this fun wordplay, I don't get it, how one translation can be Übernehmen, as in taking over. Or maybe dict.cc just got this wrong. 

Searching

Not a single minute with sleep, my thoughts were playing roller coaster.
Gave up at 7 am and have to come through the day somehow.

And the search is on
Denmark, I found some really interesting little houses and not even expensive
Germany, a lot of almost cheap houses, but so far east, no thanks. I wanna have water, best the Northern Sea. If there wouldn't be the big, huge IF with moving to Germany!
Austria, have to take a closer look where the lakes are
Italy, heaven, these prices are the best, the big but behind, most are very far south or even Sicily, not the area I wanna go to.

And maybe I should ask for the norwegian citizenship first, just in case, cause one never knows.

The dream ended before it even began

I checked for some rules and laws for Denmark - Femø and my dream burst into small pieces.

Strict laws and rules when it comes to plant trees, and for every tree one wanna plant a permission is needed. Nothing for me, since I wanna have many, many trees. Cherry and apple, plum and maybe pear and of course all the berry bushes.
Why should I move to an island with so strict rules?

Ok, gonna go there anyway, booked is booked and all is payed, but man, this is so disappointing.

And beside the fact, that Denmark is even more expensive than Norway and the danish money is bonded to the focking Euro.

Well, excited for a day, was nice, but now, back to reality.

Swallows

It's pouring and a look out the kitchen window showed me a swallow, sitting on the wire. Seconds later there were 2 and I was wondering, why they don't fly into the barn.
Went downstairs to check, if the doors are open and yes, wide open.
Back to the kitchen, still 2 swallows on the wire.

The attack came so fast, but luckily, both swallows came away unharmed.
I made my peace with the magpie, but now I'm pissed, really! She can come and eat at my balcony, I never shoo her away, only to see, that she's attacking 2 little swallows.
What I don't understand is WHY! I know, they destroy nests, special going after the nestlings but attacking 2 adult swallows?

Looking forward --- again

But this time I have something to look forward to :D

30.06. Denmark I'm coming :)
and maybe I will find my new future home, given that there is a nice little house with at least a barn and a field for a horse or two.

And maybe I can make my dream come true, to give children with allergies the possibility to come in contact with horses.
And maybe I need to get my old domain back then. Or cancel the cancellation and keep my curly-horses.com?

I have to decide fast for the last matter, before someone else will buy that domain.

Oh my, I'm so excited to go there.
Will I find my new home there?

My heart is beating faster, in a good way :)

 

The Crow

She came early this morning, but I decided, to sleep a bit longer, turned around and dozed off.

Later I made my coffee and of course, how else, R. rang, telling me, he is standing in front of the door, to ask, if I have some metal garbage for him.
Talked a bit, returend to my cold coffee *yuck* went to the kitchen to get a new one and returned to my living room.

And there she was :) standing on the feeder. I froze, placed the coffee and took my mobile. Luckily, I got some shots, that were clear, without movement, without being blurry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She is so beautiful ♥

"My" deer

 

My little pretty deer must have thought, an elephant is trying to go without making a sound :)
I really tried to be as silent as possible, but she had seen me the moment I stepped out the door and she was watching me all the time, coming closer towards her.
When I was pretty close, she turned around, looked at me, walked some steps, looked at me again, walked, looked and finally decided to go back, where she came from.

Maybe rumors were spread the day I talked with my "neighbor" 13 years ago, that he isn't allowed to shoot any deer in my area, even not on his own field close to my house. I told him, that those deer are mine and are under my protection.
He laughed at me, but never even tried to kill one. He went that far, that he called me and asked for permission to allow 2 men, hunting doves close to my farm.
One winter many years ago, it was forbidden to feed the deer, any deer, because of an illness far up northern Norway, that could spread. I gave a fock and always had some hay for them.
Last winter, they even came into my garden and it makes me wonder, that they didn't came back to destroy the long flower bed. All tulips are still there :) Or the birds have told, that I'm no threat? They all still come to my balcony, to get some nuts or fruits, we don't eat anymore. And maybe because of all the wasps I have here.
Who knows :)
I'm just happy to see them all almost every day.

Wonderful talk

I just had a wonderful talk with M.
Over an hour and I'm really looking forward to the end of June and the meeting with her and her friends.

Such a kind woman, interesting and a lovely soul.

There is so much I could write about and even more would like to write about. But this has to wait at least 3 weeks and even then, I'm not sure, I then will write about.
But I know, that there is a piece of my heart, drawn to a small island. Not because of her, but thanks to her. 

Just 3 weeks and I will see this island, visit this island and talk a closer look on this island :)

This day became all in a sudden so much more beautiful ♥
