Tied Up
I’m busy as usual juggling between design work, writing my book and starting next week, my studies. You see, I recently started my own design firm since it’s hard to find a design related job despite of my killer CV. Plus, I also found out that I’d rather be the boss of myself. So right now I’m working on a web design for a recently established film company here in Bergen.
On another topic, last week I was with Odd and his family in a military camp to visit my brother-in-law, Egil. Since he’s flying to Afghanistan in a couple of days and we were there to support him.
+ The three brothers. L-R: Odd, Ulf and Egil.
+ Ulf had a flair for the dramatic.
+ My loving husband, Odd.
+ Egil on the jeep with a big gun.
+ Part of the demonstration exercise.
+ Odd’s youngest brother, Egil.
+ Fixing his rifle.
+ I took a ride on one of these! It was fun!
That’s all!
Egil looks far too young to be handling those nasty weapons!
Good luck to him in Afghanistan. The area where the excersis was taking place looks just like Canada with all those tall pine trees. He won’t see many trees like that when he gets to Afghanistan!
Yes, he’s just twenty, but he is highly trained.
I’m amazed at all the civilians in the photos….was this “Parents’ Weekend”??
Such sweet boys. And Odd is as handsome as ever.
Haha I hope you’re not too stressed out from your crazy schedule! I think it’s great that you take time off from the computer. I just can’t do it, haha.
Good luck with that web design! I used to work in the production of an interactive multimedia piece in January for a publishing company; that was the closest I’ve been to anything “professional”.
I’m sure Egil appreciates your support! I love the first photo, and I’m a little jealous you got a ride in that tank!
I’m devising a new schedule and I’ll post it on my next entry:
Thanks dear, I am having a break from the web design work since I’m still waiting for the rest of the materials from my client. So now I am concentrating with writing my book.
I totally support u Charles, u’re smart. Love the idea of being ur own boss.
Which studies will u do next week? I tought u’ve finish with studies.
Take care of u. Hi to Odd.
Thanks! It’s still the same studies, Design and Media in which I am on the 2nd year now.
You take care too! And Odd is sending his regards as well!
Great picturees! I wish Odd’s brother well! I cannot be easy knowing he is going to a country where so much is going on…GOOD to read about what is going on with you, my dear Charles….!
Thank you and I know. We’re hoping and praying that he’ll be safe there.
Wow, that is some impressive hardware!
Oh yeah!
Wow, this sounds cool. I love the photos too.
Thanks Pao!
wow. I want to take a ride on that thing too. Aww. Im envious.
)
Lol! Yes, it was an awesome ride. Though it was a bit dusty from all the dirt and sand coming in during the ride.
Still, it is awesome. Wowowow. I wanna take a ride in that too but it’s kinda impossible for me. haha
¿militar camp? i have never ever heard about that kind of stuff in my country. well, trying to remember…i think when my father was a child he went to one of them. but now….i did not have notice about that.
did you have fun? it could be very interesting!!
Don’t you guys serve the military for like 2 years when you’re 18 the way we do it here?
My brother-in-law on the other hand is already a professional military personnel.
fun to see the three brothers in one picture! im sure you handle the juggling of things-to-do well.
enjoy! lots of love.
Yeah it’s a nice picture.
I think I’m getting the hang of it now. I came up with a daily routine, which is working very fine.
Egil’s mother is going to find it very difficult until she sees her son again – alive. I didn’t realise Norway sent troops to Afghanistan.
Hey, that’s great about your own business. All the best!
Did you enjoy your weekend?
Many thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come visit again tomorrow!
It wasn’t easy for her, but it’s Egil’s decision.
Yes, the country sends troops to Afghanistan as part of the NATO.
And thanks Joy!
A little chilling in an army toy sort of way. Nice photo shoot though. Good luck to him!
Thanks and I agree it’s a bit chilling to see those weapons and stuff.
Wow you took a ride on a tank? That’s so cool! I want to experience doing that! Haha. Cool shots
Yes, it was!
yeah! be your own boss! it doesn’t get better than that. all the good luck to you, charles!
Thank you TDB! It’s really nice to call your own shots!
that’s courageaous of him to leave to that crazy war
that’s courageaous of you to be your own boss (this another war <ith a battle every day !! )
cheers de paris
Pierre
That’s true. Everyday is always a battle.
Good to have a set of entrepreneurial skills early on in life. I’m sure that being your own boss will reap a lot of benefits for your career.
By the way, great photos. =) I hope that Egil has a safe and fruitful, but mostly safe, stint in Afghanistan.
That is true. Even my father said the same thing.
Thanks and yes, we really hope that he’ll be safe in his work there.
Charles,
to my opinion you have done the right decission:
Starting your own company. That’s clever and I’m sure you will succeed.
Ragarding Afganistan: No Comments
btw. Missed you both during OsloBG
Thanks Tor! I hope there will be another OsloBG next year and I hope to see you soon as well!
Hey Sweetie! Glad to hear you are working hard on your book and starting your own firm! I think you can make it big, we certainly LOVE your work!
Looks like an exciting visit to Odd’s brother, I wish him all the best in Afghanistan! Sounds scary to me, hope he does well and comes home quickly!!!
Hello Diane! Thank you for your kind comments!
Hope to see you and Renny again soon!
I hate war, Charles, so I have very mixed emotions seeing these fabulous images of 3 brothers. Once Egil comes back, nothing will be the same. I realize that someone has to do the dirty work. I just hate it. In the meantime, for YOU, I hope you climb your mountain and get to the very top in your creative work. You deserve it.
I definitely agree. I’m not fond of war either because it’s just an evil circle that goes round and round. I mean you can’t go to war for peace. I find that phrase idiotic.
And thanks for your kind comment!
Tanks put fear into me!
Good luck with your work, book and studies… You sound very busy!
I’ve now put up my review for Second Hand Heart
Take care and have a good weekend.
Thanks Nikki!
I’ll check your book review!
Good luck with your new design firm ! I am sure you will be successful ! Looks like you are a very busy bee !
Thank you Sidney!
They are a good looking bunch! And that Egil, he’s loaded for bear!
