Looks like the weather is heading towards the chilly end of cold.
Woke up this morning to see the E18 covered in mist. The kitchen temp gauge saying about 0degC.
Tried to find the advert for the flat I was thinking about going for this morning. Couldn't see it. Bugger. Should've known. Will send an email to team relocation anyway in the hope it's something to do with the browser.
Not looking forward to going to work today. Don't think I've actually made a conscious thought about that before.
Actually today turned out better than I thought. I now have somewhere more permanent to live. http://www.finn.no/finn/realestate/lettings/object?finnkode=37359692.
The place I wanted was still available and I now have to sign the agreement. It will cost 10,000NOK with heating included, but electricity, internet and cable TV extra, if I want them.
Will have to organise some time in the UK to get my stuff sent over.
Spent the day doing more InTouch tickets. Minggus agreed to drop me off at IKEA for me to look round and see what's available. I tried to find a bus route back on the web.
At the end of the work day, about 1630hrs, Minggus took me off to IKEA. It isn't quite as bad as I thought inside. Wasn't quite the restricted rat run I thought it was going to be. It was possible to go between the different sections if you wanted to. Saw a suitable sofa bed if it can be bought in the right colour. There was also a quite comfortable easy chair. The shelf storage doesn't look to bad either. Will measure the room at FFA to see what'll fit in there before buying anything in Norway. Didn't think much of the bed side tables though. There were cheap cooking utensils and bakeware. Will have to see what I need before I go spending the allowance.
After wandering around the top floor of the store I had a look at the restaurant. The food was very popular as there were plenty of people but the queue was too long for me.
I headed downstairs and looked at the smaller stuff. I bought a couple of candles, which the Norwegians seem to like with a passion, if the quantity is anything to go by. I also bought a large towel.
After using the self service teller I headed out towards the exit. As I still hadn't had supper I bought a cheap hot dog with a drink for 12NOK.
The bus I had planned to find had just left so I went looking for the bus stop for the next one. Unfortunately it being dark I couldn't see anything. The free Oslo bus was outside so I asked the driver where to catch the local buses. He didn't have a clue! I should've asked in the store.
Thinking there wasn't much else to do, I got on the free Oslo bus and would get the train back to Asker. It took 20mins to get into Oslo.
As the train to Asker wasn't going to be for a while I had a Burger King while I waited.
Goy back to the apartment at about 2045hrs. Feeling a little tired today, but at least I have got something done.
