Alot!

Today I did a bunch of stuff. First thing in the morning I went with two friends to town to see if we could buy some fabric for curtains and bed sheets, and also maybe have them made for us there. I found some nice, white striped curtain fabric and sheet fabric, so hopefully in a few weeks I will have curtains and sheets like I think I ordered them! :) Also, on the way there, we tried a new type of transportation, namely a bike with two seats in front. I tried the same thing in India, but here I didn't feel nearly as bad for the guy that was cycling (it was a least 15 degrees warmer and a lot further in India). It was a fun experience, weaving through busy traffic with absolutely no protection around you ;)
When I got home I decided to make bread rolls again! The ones I made last time only lasted about 24 hours, so I made a nice, big batch. (It took a while as I had to sift the flour for bugs, again!). Then I decided to give some to two of my closest neighbor families, they seemed happy to receive them, at least they said thank you so much, which is about as much as I can understand at this point in time anyways :) Hopefully this will be a good way to make some friends and learn some language. Apparently it's a neighborly thing to do to share some baked goods with whomever is close enough to smell it!
Then I did some more walking around in the neighborhood with some friends, and talked or said hi to a bunch of people. Just another day in warm-up!

  1. Veldig kjekt å følge med på bloggen din. Kunne godt tenkt meg å prøve en slik "drosjetur".

    N, your rolls looks so yumm yumm.. I think it is better for you to buy new flour cos i think flour with bug doesn't have that good quality anymore ...
