Moving Day!

I am posting this after the fact, but i want to keep everything in order and SOOOO many things happen all the time. In this busy URBAN environment that we live in!

Here we are on moving day. No one that we know in Oslo has a car (or no one that we know well enough to bother) so that made moving pretty interesting. But a couple of very nice taxi guys later it was all done and we were schlepping it all upstairs.

We are on the Norwegian 3rd floor. The ground level is considered first floor and so on. So really it is only two twisty flights of steps up to our place.

Alladin was waiting for us. Thank goodness he was there to explain to us the in's and out's of the incomrehencible european washing machine. Millions of lights and options. No words. Now we have got it down however and our clothes come out practically dry from the spin cycle.

Almost no one in Norway has dryers. That IS a bit odd. But really once you get the hang of it, i like the idea that we arn't using energy for it and that my bathroom has 3 square feet more space. (it's a tiny bathroom!)

It didn't take us long to get everything unpacked. Toys everywhere and as you can see that all important first load of washing done. Yay!
We like our neighbourhood. We have a green grocer right in our building and another bigger grocery store across the corner. That is convenient! The tram that goes right through the center of town has a stop on our corner too. Yeah, i like.
