rose's random rambly writings

...really!

T'is the season to be travelling

Sunday, 14. December 2008, 12:51:03

,

See the picture in my banner? I took that on a Christmas fair here in Oslo one afternoon. Even though there wasn't any snow, it was freezing cold and by the time I got home I could hardly feel my toes anymore awww.
Although I can find motifs like that pretty, I don't enjoy the coldness as much.

Now, set your clock back three months or so. Due to an immense workload, I am not allowed to use any holidays during autumn and I have only used three weeks during the year, leaving me with two. As the new year draws closer, I am now "forced" to have three whole weeks off work... :whistle:

In conclusion:
Freezing cold + many days off work = me boarding a plane bound for Barcelona tomorrow morning :happy:.

I won't be gone for long, in fact I'll back on Friday already, but I just thought I'd let you know.

:heart:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 12:56

Thanks :love:
I am planning to go around singing both Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe's parts of Barcelona :lol:

Zaphira 14. December 2008, 13:18

So that's what you meant when you said you were travelling south? *feeling slightly disappointed*

Have five great days in Barcelona! :love:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 13:20

No, I'll be travelling south again after I come back :wink:.

Thank you :love:! I'm really looking forward to it. I've never been there before.

Zaphira 14. December 2008, 13:21

Oh goodie! :happy:

I haven't been there either, but I'd love to go there one day.

Spaggyj 14. December 2008, 13:25

You will be known as "Crazy Tourist With Beautiful Forehead" :up:

theoddbod 14. December 2008, 13:45

I think it's shocking that your airline appears to have sliced your suitcase into 3 pieces awww

gdare 14. December 2008, 14:05

Barcelona is beautiful city, I was there in 1992. just before Olympics, don`t miss to climb the Sagrada Familia cathedral tower and to visit oldest part of the city; also.... but I know you will find your way to a lot of nice stuff there :D

Furie 14. December 2008, 14:18

I've got that song in my head now. :cool: Miss you Rosie. :cry:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 14:34

Zap - :happy:

Kimmie - :lol: If so, my trip is a success p:

Mart - Those aren't slices - they are compartments. One for clothes, one for shoes, and one for presents :D.

Darko - Those are definitely on my to-do list. I will be staying a block from La Rambla, so I think there will be much walking around :D.
Do you have any other insider tips?

Mik - I hadn't heard that song in ages, but I've been humming it for the last hour or so p:.
And don't worry - I'll be back with my nonsense in no time :up:.

wickedlizard 14. December 2008, 14:46

Have fun Rose and wishing you a Merry Christmas... I'll be gone travelling by Friday. So, have a really happy holidays! :heart:

Furie 14. December 2008, 14:52

It's on my list of great songs to share here. :D And I'm now blasting it out. :headbang:

jrd2498 14. December 2008, 15:00

That is pretty cool, dont have to many margaritas!

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 15:01

Issy - thanks, and the same to you :D.

Mik - I bet you can take those high notes excellently p:.

José - Why not :confused: :wink:

Moesring 14. December 2008, 15:45

they are commpartments. One for clothes, one for shoes, and one for presents :D.

But, where do the Martinis go? Or are they in their own separate suitcase? :D

As the new year draws closer, I am now "forced" to have three whole weeks off work... :whistle:

Poor you. :left:

I'm surprised the cat hasn't sneaked into the suitcase yet. :left:
She tried to sneak in last time. P:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 15:49

They'd take up too much space in the suitcase, so I'm planning on buying them fresh down there :D.

Kitty doesn't have to sneak into the suitcase - there's always room :wink:.

Moesring 14. December 2008, 15:53

But what if they have never heard of a Martini before? Surely it is best to be prepared in case the worst should happen. :left:
:Martini:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 15:54

True... My plan B is to drink something different then p:.

Moesring 14. December 2008, 16:01

Drink something different? :faint:

:slips some gin and vermouth into the suitcases so she doesn't have to make such sacrifices. :happy:
Plus to save space, Moesring doesn't pack the bottles :up: - he just pours the liquid out of the bottles into the suitcases:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 16:04

:eek: My clothes! My shoes! Your presents! :lol:

Moesring 14. December 2008, 16:06

At least you've got all the necessary ingredients to make a proper drink now. :up:
:sst: Well, you will once you've wrung them out of your clothes. Homer: Doh!

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 16:09

I guess I'll be known as "Crazy Tourist With Beautiful Forehead Who Reeks Of Martini" then awww.

Furie 14. December 2008, 17:03

That's what we call you anyway. :up:

Hermitess 14. December 2008, 17:25

jrd2498 14. December 2008, 17:31

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 17:36

Thank you, and welcome Hermitess :D. I'm glad you enjoy. The people commenting here are all nuts :happy:.

Awww, thanks José :o:.
:eyes: Don't tell me you've started worshipping Mik? :faint:

jrd2498 14. December 2008, 17:40

Lol no never, he promised the U.S. to Alla in his world conquest instead of me. :furious:

Your right about everyone else is nuts on here. P:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 17:55

Bah. There are plenty of other countries to choose from :up:.

:sst: You do realize that you're one of everyone else, right? p:

jrd2498 14. December 2008, 18:52

Furie 14. December 2008, 19:42

I've still got Sweden if you want it? :D

gdare 14. December 2008, 19:56

Well, I was there for kendo competition, so I didn`t have much time to walk around; I spent some nice time by the monument of Christopher Columbus monument, watching the sea :dreaming of past times:
But you can go to Park Güell if the weather is ok :yes:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 20:35

No, he doesn't want Sweden :mad:.

Thanks Darko :up:. The weather isn't supposed to be very good, but at least it's better than here...

jrd2498 14. December 2008, 20:54

Sure Mik i will take Sweden, how about Norway also. And some Caribbean Island for vacation?

Dacotah 14. December 2008, 20:57

Have a fun and safe trip. :smile:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 21:35

That's it, José. You just got North Korea :irked:

Carol - Thank you! Now, hop into the suitcase :wink:.

Cois 14. December 2008, 21:50

You just said you had no space! :cry:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 21:52

:lol: For a buttmonkey!

Dacotah 14. December 2008, 22:13

You are welcome Rose-Marie. :hat: Hopping in your suitcase. :happy:

clean 14. December 2008, 22:17

Okay, Ms Freezing Toes ... first thing to do is find a patch of sun and plant your feet in it and get some warm deep into those tootsies!

Have a lovely trip! :smile:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 22:56

Yay Carol :D.

David - Thanks :D! I wish it was warmer there now... but a change of scenery will do me good anyway :up:.

Dacotah 14. December 2008, 22:59

:D
:sst: Just don't forget to let me out when we get there.

Furie 14. December 2008, 23:05

Be careful Carol. She trades slaves on these trips.

Why are you against me giving Sweden away Rose? :angel:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 23:15

Oh... you want to get out too...? :left:

Hush Mik :irked:!
Why? Because I still enjoy going there on holidays once in a while p:.

Dacotah 14. December 2008, 23:30

Rose-Marie wouldn't do that to me, would she Mik? Hmmmmm.........thinking......how come I have to go inside a suitcase, why not me buying a ticket to sit next to her. :D

jrd2498 15. December 2008, 00:37

:lol: See Carol, the true side of Rose reveled.

Cois 15. December 2008, 00:44

So there's no space for a buttmonkey eh :sherlock: what is occupying the buttmonkey's space? :whistle:

Rapunzel 15. December 2008, 19:16
