Oslo boat trip

The first place on my my travelling list this Easter was Oslo. Me and Šárka met up in Oslo for two days of adventures. Only there we found out that Norwegians pack up their bags for Easter and leave the cities. I don't know where they go, but Oslo was empty. We saw very few people and almost no shops were open. We had trouble finding a grocery store. I was really looking forward to Oslo but even before getting there several people have warned me that it is nothing special. Well they were right. Maybe it was because of the never going away grey skies or the mentioned lack of people, but the impression Oslo left on me was very grim. Still we had a lot of fun and made videos for our friend Markéta who couldn't be there. I'd post one but it's not in English.

Below are some pictures that we took. First is Oslo opera house, second is the harbour, view from a boat we took to see some fjords, then there are some typical Norwegian houses, in fact the boat was the only place we felt like we were in Norway. Then there is this amazing face Šárka has managed to pull, believe me, she does not normally look like that.

The last picture is very bad quality and I apologise for that, it's a screenshot of one of the videos. Still I couldn't help but put it there. 

All the pictures seem to be in different shades of grey which is exactly how I found Oslo looked, I was even wearing a grey jumper to, unintentionally, match the surroundings.

 

With this face I say goodbye. Please come back.

pretty in spring

I am uploading a little photo set, I took these pictures almost a month ago because I was so delighted that spring was coming. In Keele most of the trees are blossoming and I love the oh-so-popular pastel colours. I was also bored one day, by bored I mean procrastinating, and took a picture of my eye with and without make up. It's just a simple eyeliner and black mascara but when you compare them too it does make a difference hehe. I've never really been one for the difficult morning make up rituals, mostly because I can't be bothered to go through wiping it all off in the evenings but even just these two essentials make you feel a lot different. I'll stop these words of wisdom right here, enjoy the pictures guys.

Yes, my eyes are blue.

sunday afternoon picnic

I organised a cake picnic last Sunday. It was girls only and we were sitting by the prettiest building on campus, Keele Hall. I brought cupcakes, I made up my own recipe which I will post later. Last week the spring started. The weather has been lovely, sunny, bright skies, 15 degrees upwards. I am laughing at my friends at home, they had another snowfall today, on april fools day. Everything is white back home. Sending warm regards. The last picture was taken in my room, I have daffodils in a vase sitting on my window sill, they are now blossoming all over the campus. Don't think I've seen so many just growing in the 'wildlife'.

AU Presentation Ball

I went to an AU ball with the Keele ballers and our coach. It was a good night, I had fun and it was definitely better than the Christmas Ball. Again, the best course was the dessert. Yum. Just a few pictures here.
