First night in the tent

I spent a night out in the garden on the 18th as a test. turns out even at 6°C overnight it was still cold. I woke up at about 5:30 to the sounds of wildlife and sirens, and the first thing I did was buy some long thermal pajamas.

The tent was good and didn't get too wet in the morning which is good, and it was big enough to have all of my bags in there with me. The pillow and sleeping mat were alright I think I'll just have to get used to them more. the main issue was the quilt but now I know my mat is meant to go inside it I should hopefully be okay next time.

I restarted learning some Norwegian after giving up about a month or so ago, I can just about tell people that I'm a man and I speak Engelsk (English) so hopefully in a months time I'll be a lot better.

Now I just have to start stockpiling music, podcasts (so I don't go too crazy) and some good books, I'm thinking of trying to read the Harry Potter series in Norsk which should take me a while!

Just have to focus on getting through the next month of deadlines and moving house and not daydream about the trip too much.
