I've been without my car all week after wearing out my break pads. I took the car to the garage last Tuesday and it will be ready to pick up next Tuesday. That's how they roll here in Norway. They take their sweet friggin' time and it irritates the shit out of me. I used to drop off my car in London before work,get a service and the break pads changed, pick it up after work and hand over approx 170 pounds yet here I get to wait 7 days and hand over 1100 pounds for the same job.
Our cottage makes shit like this bearable-only just!

    Irritating - I hope they surprise you and are faster than that! :-)

    Our VW camping van has been in the garage here in France for 15 months. We had to order the parts ourselves and I picked them up last month in the UK as no one seems to ship to France. It's all protected by the unions or some such place. The van isn't an old classic it's quite modern.

    Lovely cottage! Love the view from the inside and the level of coziness-amazing. Hope a faster fix for your car. Got my eye on your next posts.

    Hope your wheels are fixed by now!

    We were in Oslo for a few hours last Thursday when our connecting flight (last min trip to Valldall) was missed. I thought about contacting you but my iphone was dropped in a toilet. Strike two, Norway! Ha. But seriously...am now consumed with jealousy of what a country you call home. Lush!
