Are we back in Bergen?

It's almost May, yet the weather reminds me of our trip to Bergen - cold, wet and windy!

Job interview

Despite our plans to move I need a job now that my maternity leave is coming to an end. So I'm waiting in my car for the relevant time to go in, and I am so nervous. I hate interviews. I try and pretend that its just a chat, but my brain kicks in and fight or flight follows and thats me full of nerves.

Wish me luck.

Bergen

It's a while since we went to Bergen but you have to love a city where pretty much everyone wears wellies.
We had a great little apartment which had a log burner (Jim managed to singe his eyebrows) and a lovely view.  It did also have a very keen traffic warden near by who ticketed us for parking too close to a road junction. Wouldn't have been so bad if the road in question wasn't a cul de sac, other cars weren't doing it and it was Jim's first ever ticket for anything in 20 yrs of driving - tee hee!!  Turns out, unsurprisingly, that Norway's traffic fines are expensive. £50 fine, plus banking fees to pay online total cost £85! Shan't be doing that again.

We did the tourist things - aquarium and the flobarnen, but the weather was so bad that we couldn't see anything from the top, still the girl enjoyed the ride up. I was a bit gutted as we went shopping on Sunday, but Norway is shut! Well shops are, and I found an all year round Christmas shop! Still Jim was happy.
