Xmas parade!

We have enjoyed two hours of Christmas parade! It was surprisingly nice weather, no rain, hail, snow or wind! Even the sun was out now and then!
And on the last float, Santa!!!!

Quiet after the storm!

And very beautiful!
This is my view this afternoon from the office! Going to miss this fantastic view when we move offices in a few weeks.
We are enjoying it to the fullest now!

1, 2, 3, Winter!!!

Woke up this morning and heard an unfamiliar soft whisking on my windows and the fog horn in a distance! Hmmm, what awaits me behind the curtains! WINTER!
And not just quiet snowy winter, no no, strong winds, snow coming "down" horizontally!
Looking forward to walking to work!!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Last night after we had been out to a nice dinner, and had had pink bubbles for my moms birthday! (happy birthday mamma!) we came out to big snowflakes in the air!
And during the night it must have continued!
Woke up to a beautiful sunny crisp day today!

Can you buy happiness?

At least happy feet!
And do I need an excuse to buy a second pair of rubber boots in the foggiest, snowiest, wettest, windiest and gloomiest city in Canada?
Yupp, did not think so!

Travel light? Why?

When you can bring 3 pieces of luggage, why not bring an over-mattress? It's is so comfy! Can't wait to sleep like a princess!
My dad helped me wrap and tie it up, must say we did a great job, it arrived in perfect condition!

Here we go again! Canada here I come!

Had an early departure from Oslo, but at last in the big bird from London to Halifax!
And after a few hours of napping, pre-arrival snack is served!
Loooove my warm scone with clotted cream!

The view from my "cabin"

Since king winter has not showed up yet, I enjoyed a beautiful sunny day in my garden. The days are short now this far north, so at around 3:30 pm it was time to enjoy the beautiful view of the oslo fjord one last time today and head home down town!

Good morning from SJ

Time to change the view for a week and a half! Flying home today! Hurra!

A visit from the EU today!

Tyr docked outside my office window yesterday! Wondering what the EU Fishery Inspectors are doing here! Islandic vessel, so not too far away from home!
