Everything was beautiful and nice and sparkly and bright, and then all of a sudden…

These guys showed up…

And the ground started looking like this…

:/ I am still trying to soak in the last remains of summer. I actually do not mind fall in Japan, but this fall I am in Norway, and fall is Norway is not my thing. I started my week with getting soaked in the rain (thank you Bergen for a very wet welcome), and now I am trying to find my way around the university website. More about that later, I have a whole house to clean up and five books to read. Have a wonderful day!

P.S. if you know who is responsible for the so-called four seasons in Norway, kick that somebody in the ass and tell him/her that mid-August really should NOT be the time to wear a down jacket every evening.
