Just came back from Norway, where my good lady is studying chemistry, in English,
Bergen, which is where she's based, is lovely to look at; the capital of 'Fjordland', hilly, fresh as fuck and generally very pleasant.
But it's so dear! As in, 5 for a beer! The cheapest we got was 3.60 and that was a right dive of a bar....still, when you're with the right person, etc etc...
I had the forethought to purchase a raincoat before I left (it rains 280 days a year in Bergen) and was feeling good about this (t'was a 50s 'film noire' number, trenchoat, belt et al) and the rockstar-combo it formed with my little H+M trilby-ish hat. Sort of Kasabian-meets-Belmondo, if you will.

In hindsight, it was really rather Inspector Gadget. Oh how those Norwegians must have laughed....

So now I'm just going to go out with balding jazz-musicians instead and keep my indie-lust quiet and very much stifled. Like a warm but oh so pleasing trump.
