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 ♥

Pension

and other benefits in Germany --- or elsewhere

I got a call today, a complain about the new rules in the German health system and how bad it is.
Yes, of course it is and I said, that it baffles me more, that the German people still don't do a thing about it.

But we do ---- demonstrations all over Germany, people are on the streets.
My answer: Demonstrations haven't changed a thing - EVER!

Ok, I could go on, but for what!

Next call, again about the health system only added the pension, that is so small.
Again I said, that it's logical, cause the politicians have used all the money, the pension office is empty (I didn't say, that this is one of the reasons, the German politicians wanna have war).

So I thought to let a little bomb fall and mentioned, that I said it centuries ago, that I don't see a reason to work for my pension and that I got attacked because of that, extreme and bad attacked.
I didn't say, that I was attacked by her.
The answer I got:
Yes, I have said the same since a long time

Of course ...

The last was almost too much for me and I am still wondering, if her brain isn't working propper anymore.
I said, the best that could happen to Europe would be, when the EU would be destroyed for good.
She replied: But we aren't in the EU anymore

WHAT?
She told me about the election and then I understood. She talked about the UN.

There is so much more, so many things, she didn't really listened to and if, ignored it or came with the most hated sentence for me at all:
I can't change anything and so can't he 

This pisses me off, special to postulate that he has given up and in the same breath of air saying, she can't change a thing.

Rain again

So we had some wonderful days without rain and since yesterday late evening it won't stop raining.
Just right now it's only windy, but dark clouds hanging like a threat at the sky.

Even the averaged temp for the night today in Italy is 2 C degree higher than we have right now with +16 C and these 16 degree with the cold wind is giving me the feeling of much colder.
And I was honestly thinking to maybe stay here.

How insane!

31/05/2026

Looking forward to

to what?

Heaven, it took a long time for me to understand.
I wanna move away and I would love to move to Italy.
For over a year I was learning Italian --- not sure, if anything really stuck in my brain. But without use ...

The farm is showing it's best face, the wonderful clean, green, flourishing face.
That one, that makes me fall in love with this place again and again and again.
Only to find out, that I was fooled, like every year, latest, when the winter hits hard.

I was out in the garden, missing this place already, before I even have left it. Missing my trees, my flowers, the view to the river, the birds and so much more.

And finally I understood!

How can I look forward to move away, when I haven't even seen the place, haven't looked for a place, can't imagine the new place?
I need to travel to Italy, look around for the perfect place, so I can start making plans and let my imagination run free and wild.

Gonna write a mail to R. and ask her, if there is any B&B in the area she is living, and if that place isn't for me, start my search for another place. But I need to start or I will sit for another year in Norway, with a winter I can't and won't see anymore.

Total stupid

What's wrong with me?

Every Autumn and Winter, even Spring there is nothing I wish more, than to come away from here.
And as soon as the temperature goes over 15 C plus I forget all and everything and can't imagine to leave this place.

Yes, there is beauty all the time, but to forget 10 months for just this 2 warm months? And not to forget, there were summers that wasn't summer at all.
I really have to remind myself over and over again, that 2 months with feeling well and happy won't make up 10 months of thinking "I wanna be somewhere else"!

Norway is beautiful, any season, no doubt about, but if I wanna see a beautiful winterday I can go for a visit and go back again to a warmer place.

Ekebergparken

Techno party close to Ekebergparken in Oslo.

To begin with, it was a wonderful and great mood, some light effects after it got "dark" (if you wanna say that twilight is dark), many, many people, but the music didn't reached me.
I danced from time to time, but nope, there was no connection to the music. 
Anyway, I had a wonderful time there.

And now to my real point, the Ekebergparken

There was a parking place we used, and just the view meters from the street to the parking place left me speechless and with a slightly disgusted feeling.
What the Norwegians and other people call art is for sure not my understanding of art.

For example the piece "Deep Cream Maradona" from Sarah Lucas
It's not funny, it's not aesthetic, it's not beautiful and nothing I wanna explain to a little child.

Or the sculpture from Vigeland. And what I think about this man and the Vigelandpark with all the violence is another story!
Mann og kvinne
This bronze sculpture showing a sexual act between them both, he kneeling with his head between her legs, her hands on his head

In a museum, ok, but a public park where people walk with their children?
This is so wrong in so many places.

I haven't seen the sculpture Fideicommissum from Ann-Sofi Sidén
A woman in a squat position, her pants around her knees with a naked ass. 

Can someone explain the "art" in a woman sculpture, answering the call of nature?

I could go on about some of the sculptures I saw, but I won't and I spare you any pictures. You can look them up, the name of the "artist" and the "art" in a search engine will give you more than enough results.

This park isn't a place I would like to take a walk. 
Not the best vibes there. Not as bad as Vigeland Parken, the vibes there are extreme negative, but still, nope, no place for me.

Back to the roots

and back to the red :D

I gave in, couldn't take the picture anymore, when I looked into the mirror. 
This woman with the white hair, some underlaying grey, that wasn't me. 
For over 2 years I had fooled myself, always telling myself, that the hair looks good.

T. brought some Henna and after the first try I looked like something between a carrot and a honeypot. More yellow than orange, but just OOOOOOH NO!

So T. looked up for some ingredience to mix with the Henna. Another long waiting time 'til it was cold and C. put the mass into my hair. Wrapped it and finally I could go to bed, it was after 1 am.
Had a very bad night - how to sleep with this masses on your head? I really forgot it. So many years ago, that I had used Henna.

T. woke me up and I went into the bath, it was time for the moment of truth.
Liters of water later, I dared to look into the mirror and was greated by a warm, soft copper.

T. will take a photo and the next in 3 days, to compare, how much it will darken in the following days.

Obstacles in our way

Ok, my dear Universe, so tell me PLEASE

H. went to Larvik, a talk about a job maybe.
T. is in Drammen working, called and told me, how exhausted he is. Easy for me to hear it, there is something in his voice, that' giving it away.

He was working for 2 months with his car, to get it running again, Friday he came home, with a big happy smile and in his own car :)
Yesterday he called, he was with C. this weekend, telling me, there is more wrong with the car.

I wanted to clean the kitchen, the dishes were done and I cleared the hermetic from the tomato paste. My thought, it would be bad to cut my finger and in exactly the same second "CUT" *wth*

Why do you throw big rocks into our path?
If this farm is where we have to stay, so tell me!
Or what's laying ahead for us?

Please tell me, dear Universe, PLEASE!

Haven't there been more than enough accidents? More than enough disaster? More than enough catastrophes?

 

 

17/05/2026

Exactly 5:55

I couldn't sleep and so I decided, to put my mobile into the window, set for video and started it.
Tourned around, just for some minutes to maybe finally fall asleep.
It was 5:55 am (I saw it on the time stampf of the video) and both showed up, Hugo and Ella

I hope, I can extract better pictures from the video, these two are screenshots, so the quality is bad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. May in Norway

Constitution Day in Norwegian Grunnlovsdagen

And you can see the flags all over, in the gardens, at the cars, in the hands of almost everyone, or at least as a ribbon at the outfits and at the collars of the dogs.
They are celebration the independence day from over 400 years ruled by the Danish.

So what? Where is the real independence today?
Norway, not in the EU but following each and every rule given by this mafia organisation.
With politicians, filling their pockets and leaving the little man poor.

Yes, I wrote poor, cause the country is rich, but not the normal citizen. Not at all!

And the self proclaimed proud Vikings?
This makes me laugh, but bitter.
Big mouthes, nothing more, but action?
Forget it!

I don't flag anymore, those days are gone. The flag is laying folded in a locker and there it can lay for ever.

Why should I celebrate a day, that's nothing more than window-dressing?

Gratulerer med dagen?
Nope, I don't see any reason for any congratiolations.
