Holga


Ragnhild borrowed me a picture from her Holga
when we were working one day
<3>

I really want a Holga too!
I love this!

(I hope you and Liva are having the time of your lives in Asia, catching memories and butterflies!)

Keep it Real in the Wildlife

As we looked up from this dark world,
the night sky looked like it would drop the stars!

Last night the full moon was close to earth

Beauty in the Breakdown


This was my day

Got up really early
Hugged my dog
Went to work
Made coffe, croissants and cinnamon buns
Shared a kiss
Got of from work
Warm apple juice with cinnamon
Chocolate cake
Holding hands
Shared a kiss
Walked in new fallen snow
Went home
Cuddled the kittens
Slept
Made chop suey with tofu
Durarara!
Tried on a new dress
Watched The Lovely Bones with my mom
Kissed my dog
Kissed my cats
Went to bed



My days is blending into each other lately,
a lot is happening and nothing is happening.

I´ve spent some days and nights with a very special girl,
watching movies, making dinner, walking outside in the cold.
Eating breakfast in a café, smelling perfumes, trying on hats.
Hearing her singing and playing the guitar when Im putting on makeup in the bathroom.
Her leaving a warm cup of coffe for me at the top of the steps.
Sharing thoughts, frustrations.
Eating love-hearts.
Laughing and talking.

My days have been nice.

I want to take her out on new fallen snow,
making new footprints on the ground,
a little proof that we existed,
together.

Boredom is life's complete state in order to welcome a coffee break

Tim Wendelboe is a norwegian and world champion in Barista and owns a micro roastery, a coffe training center and an espresso bar. It goes without saying that he knows his coffee.
Today he came to my workplace to teach us all some basic knowledge of brewing espresso and brewing good coffe.

For me, having worked with coffee in over three years, this was exiting and frightening at the same time. This is not the first time I have been coursed, but the most frightening one. Having a man who has worked with coffe for twelve years, have won the NM in Barista as well as the VM and judging my work was a weird experience. For some reason, this made me very unsure and I usually never am about my work. I knew most of the stuf we learned from before, but it was refreshing to have it repeated again with someone who really knows what he is doing.
It was very exiting and educational and I am very happy I got this opportunity, coffe is a part of my life!


Brewing espresso is not a simple task really, it takes effort to make it tasty.
It feels good to be able to once again, tell the difference.
For you who have never worked with coffe in your entire life, I can understand why this is the most boring entry in the whole world, but if you love coffe and wish to work with it,
I can promise you its both fun and challenging (and a little bit exhausting).
Now all thats left is to concentrate on my Latte Art (yes, you can make art with coffe too!).

I know some tricks, and its always pleasing to brighten up someone's day with not only a coffe that tastes good, but also looks good!

How do you like your coffe?

Oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before.



I spent a whole night crying
without knowing why

the nights that kept us apart


That winter night,
the glittering moon,
the alcohol in our veins.

The thought of you,
the touch of you.

Your smiling face
when you kissed me and
followed me home.

My makeup in the morning,
your hair a mess,
the sunlight in our eyes.

The laughter,
the sweet smell of us.

Your sad face,
when you kissed me and
left me alone.
