An update from my world, which seems quite small nowadays in comparison to everything that is happening in the world. I can say for myself that reading the news is just making me sad....
Life here continues, just like always. I didn't get the job at The International School. As far as I understood they took someone who has English as native language... I was rather down for some days, since I really felt that this was exactly a job for me, but I lifted myself up again, and continue... somewhere the right job is waiting: I just have to find it!
We had pretty weather for some days, and the snow started melting little by little, until two days ago: by now we got another 30 centimeters. There is more snow laying than I ever remember. For the coming days they expect more. Spring feels really far away, where February is as usual the month that I start longing for it. By now I have learned to pull myself over those kind of feelings... The weather will stay unpredictable for some time longer...
Last weekend we looked at the national finale for the European song contest. Just to put our mind on zero for a while. It's almost like watching a bad football game. When it's not interesting you just do something else

As usual: our favorite didn't win. Those were two drag queens, with a really nice song, a funny performance and two good voices. We can live with the song that one, although I find it a little too much like the song that won the last time for Norway (Secret Garden, 11 years ago).
I mailed a bit with my sis Sharon too. It sounds like the baby won't wait much longer... I kept saying it would come on Valentine's day (she is due for the 22nd), but I wonder now... She told me she would send me an sms in case she didn't manage to reach a computer when she will go the hospital. I can guess that is not one of the first things to think about when you are taking off because the baby is announcing itself... but I do hope she will. I am almost as much as excited as they are...
