Woke up at 10:00! Put on a dress and pottered around choosing jewellery and a coat. When I got to my living room and checked my mobile I found that Tesla had called. They had also left a message in the app to say that they called to say that my car is ready!

I had just enough time to grab my handbag and open the bus company app to buy a ticket to the next town before rushing to the bus stop.

So now I'm on a nice quiet electric bus. It's quite a bit more comfortable than the ICE buses because there are no gears. It's interesting to see that it also has no external mirrors; instead it has cameras and screens.

It has as many USB charging sockets as there are seats half USB A and half USB C. Not everything is perfect though, it claims to have WiFi but it's not connected to the internet

Unfortunately I came out in such a rush that I forgot to pick up any lipstick :-(

Got to the car. Brought the spare key with me so it was easy to open and found the other key in the glovebox. The car was plugged in to a charger so it had 150 km more charge than it started with which is nice.

I decided that I should drive it a bit to make sure that it really is fixed so I went to the Henie Onstad kunstsenter for a walk. Now I'm having a very late brunch at IKEA on my way back.

Today was another little milestone. Perhaps I should stop calling them milestones, they aren't really big enough. Perhaps millistones, or yardpebbles. Perhaps I might slowly graduate to chainstones and then furlongstones. There is really only one thing left that will count as a genuine milestone though; but it seems even bigger so perhaps I should call it a milepæl because a Norwegian mile is 10 km. Pæl means stake or post.

Anyway today's yardpebble was that I came home with lipstick on and still have it on. It's only a pale pink so it's quite likely that neither No. 1 nor No.2 son noticed. But it's the ticking off of the steps that counts, once done they cannot be undone. Even if I backslide i will always remember that I did do it once.
