Rust Nubuck


God lørdags formiddag!

Jeg sitter her med slaskebukse, den deilige Kari Traa genseren jeg fikk til jul og kaffekoppen så klart. Vi snakker frihelg ja! Jeg har også noen herlige nye vintersko godt plantet på beina. For ja, etter flere år ute vintersko har jeg endelig investert i ett par. Og som Veronica sa, det er bare å skrive det ned i boka. Såpass på tide var det nemlig at jeg investerte i akkurat det. 

For jeg har faktisk overlevd flere vintere nå uten å måtte bruke penger på akkurat det. Det har selvfølgelig innebært kalde våte føtter, og nå som jeg har begynt å reagere på kulde så har jeg innsett at jeg burde få meg noen sko som vill holde meg varm og ikke minst - tørr. 




Etter trening i går gikk jeg og gubben en spontan tur innom Bianco bare for å se, hvor på gubben spurte "men du har da noen du egentlig vil ha?". Og det stemte det, men jeg hadde ikke tenkt på hvem som kunne ha det midt i sentrum. Hvor på gubben kunne fortelle at Urban hadde Timberland sko, og vi gikk til Mercur for å se. 

Jeg endte opp med å prøve ett par i svart og disse her, og fikk herlig flott assistanse av hun som jobbet i butikken. Vi snakket sko, vi snakket karakter, og vi snakket om hvordan skoene ville oppfør seg over tid. Jeg selv kom fort frem til at de svarte skoene mistet den typiske Timberland karakteren, og butikkdamen kunne fortelle meg at disse rust brune skoene var en mørkere farge enn den orginale - og det fikk meg til å falle litt ekstra for akkurat disse. 

For jeg har stått på busstoppet på vei hjem fra jobb hvor 3 av 8 hadde de samme gule Timberland skoene. Neida, det plager meg ikke å ha det samme som andre, men jeg liker likevel å ha noe litt mer unikt. 

Jeg har selvfølgelig den minste størrelsen, og til og med de kobber til å bli litt romslige om det stemmer at de blir litt større ved bruk. Og det er jo egentlig bare ett pluss for poenget er jo at jeg skal kunne få plass til ett par tykke ullsokker i skoene når sprengkulda slår inn. De har også et relativt godt spor under i sålene og det skal bli litt lettere å takle ubrøytede fortausvei nå. 

Det er definitivt de dyreste skoene jeg eier, og selv om jeg synes det er rart å investere såpass mye i ett par sko tror jeg at jeg kommer til å bli veldig fornøyd. 



I'm sitting here dressed rather sloppy and with a cup of coffee of course. I have the weekend off. I'm also wearing my brand new winter boots. After all these years complaining that I don't have winter boots I have finally invested in a pair. And as my friend said "I'm writing thad down in my book, it was about time!". 

After yesterdays workout my partner and I went to Urban to look at Timberland boots. I tried on some black ones but concluded that they missed the typical Timberland feeling. Then I tried on these rusty brown ones, and the woman working at the store told me that the colour was a darken one than the originals. And I quite like that they have the typical Timberland feeling but feature a darker colour than what most people have. 

These boots are definitely my most expensive pair of shoes I got, but I am pretty sure that they are worth the price.

Cambridge II

Of course it was more tempting to blog about Norway when I was there. So I left that promised update about our Cambridge trip hanging. I am sorry for that. Now that I am in UK again I think it is about time to post the second part!

I left it at Fitzwilliam Museum last time. Sadly we wheren't allowed to take pictures inside, except for in the entrance. SAD, because the baroque/roman interior inside was amazing - AMAZING. And the exhibition was impressive. I especially loved the old egyptian part. 

Afterwards we walked up the road because the most known colleges was along it. We first arrived at a small one called Petershouse. Then we wandered to Kings College (I believe), which where closed to visitors. So we had to admire the beauty from the outside. 

Ready to enter Fitzwilliam Museum~!
The amazing dome ceiling inside the entrance.
Happy girls~
Peterhouse college!

The backyard or... small garden?

Safe to say it must be astonishing inside :)

At dusk we see...

A sunday a week ago I lured M out on a walk with me, because I needed some air. I got a few moments of daylights before it slowed turned into dusk and darkness. I was snapping pictures until it just got to dark to see anything - though the lens. The walk got much longer than planned because M wanted to go over the hospital bridge, which soon appeared to be a lot further than the memories of it. I followed happily having no clue how far it was. It was a nice walk. A small but long walk immortalized by pictures. 

Can you spot the river? Almost hidden by the reflection of the city.
Beautiful scenery
We where accompanied by the moon.
Getting darker and darker, and harder to take pictures.
To dark to catch the duck
Bridge to the other side....
Ducks~ Which I  first thought was rocks..... ehem.
Walking walking walking....
Trondheim at dusk <3

Mitt Trondheim

That pink color ~
Contour of M <3
Lovely streets of Trondheim
Nidarosdommen
contrast between sun, snow and trees.
View towards Tyholttårnet :)
Love when the sun makes the river sparkle
And the ice breaking
<3

The headline just had to be in Norwegian, it says "My Trondheim". It is so good to be back in this city, and I am so lucky to be welcomed with such great weather. Yesterday M and I decided to walk to the city centre and just have a look, and eventually go grocery shopping before going home. 

I felt so weird walking around with a bag of vegetables and snapping photos at the same time. I just had to. Just walking in the streets here felt so good. I just can't wait to return here for good.

Pictures from the Cambridge trip is coming soon, I just felt like posting these pictures first since I am here for Easter break.

Have a nice Palm Sunday~
