Some time ago



I didn't come to writing the last couple of days. Silje came over for her holidays, and Geir Olav had some days off.

Last week we went to the hairdresser. My hair is now at least 15 cm shorter; It feels and looks a lot better again . Often I wait too long... going to the hairdresser is not one of my favourite things to do.

Geir Olav was off as from Wednesday afternoon. Thursday and Friday before Easter are here official holidays and everything is closed. You need to think a bit practical with your shopping’s in that way. We did everything on Wednesday afternoon, so we didn't need to go into overcrowded shops on Saturday and avoided the crowd on Wednesday. Still... it was good we were able to do them early. When we were done a long cue with cars was standing up to the main road... waiting for a parking place...

Friday evening we had dinner at Geir Olav's parents place. The last time pinekjøtt as a 'goodbye to the winter'. Kind of a tradition here to have that food for the last time with Easter. Now we have to wait till Christmas again before we eat it. It was a cozy dinner. Silje Geir Olav's nephew were also there. We didn't make it late and left after the coffee. The rest of Easter we relaxed, did some small things in the house, watched some movies (not forget the Easter crimes on TV: also a tradition here), and have been reading a bit.

Silje left yesterday and tomorrow normal life starts again. In the meantime is the weather getting better and better. I really got a spring feeling when I looked through the window and saw some other white than snow... I took my camera and sprinted out to the garden. This is what I found:

Nice isn’t it?!

Hi Mar - those flowers are so lovely and with the snow still on the ground too. Of course it is summer here, low to mid 90s everyday and will reach 100F soon. Our tomato plants are full of blooms but no tomatoes yet. Best of luck to you. Sometimes I read about your struggle to find decent employment and just wish I could send our jobs your way, impossible no? I just finished reading a novel set in Norway, lots about food. Oh, I could never eat all that fish, herring too, yuk! Can you eat it??? Just way too cold for these old bones. Enjoy your land clearing and garden. It will be lovely.:)
