A 17. of May is not compete without some games for the kids (of all ages)!

Hurra for 17 mai!

Well, it is actually the 15th of May.
A great day out in the park with about 70 Norwegians!

Lobster season has begun!

Today's dinner!
After a trip to Cape Spear (the eastern most point in North America) where all you can see is ice-cold blue-green ocean, we felt like eating some good local seafood. So Jill, Jorunn and I checked out the local diner cafe, with the fantastic name of K-Cafe! Freshly boiled lobster cad 24,99!

Local newspaper!

We made it into the local newspaper! Big day for the Norwegian Club! Looking forward to our 17th of May celebration on the 15th of May in the beautiful Bowring Park!

The fog has come!

And the locals say it will last all May! But at least today the sun won mid day!

Today's view from my bedroom!

This was my view this morning at 7:30 when I got up and looked out the window. Beautiful view! We got more snow yesterday... It was coming down pretty heavily. But luckily all the snow had melted over the last couple of days, so the new load did not stack up too much snow everywhere. Hoping it will melt soon, it is around plus 2, so I have my hopes up!!

St Patrick's day!

St John's is an Irish town! Most of the settlers back in the day were Irish, and we are actually much closer to Dublin than we are to Vancouver, so feeling pretty Irish today! And a day like St Patrick's days does not go unnoticed in St John's. The town has been practising a whole week!

I started the day with breakfast at one of the best Irish pubs in town! A great experience, live music, old and young, babies and pensioners. Almost full pub at 9 in the morning! After a couple of hours in the office, we found our way back to the pub and pretty much stayed there all evening! Green beer, great green friends and live music, what more do you need! Maybe a green wig?!

The Irish Loop!

This is the email Øyvind sent out! What is a girl to do, if not support the visible minority % (very important here on the project, we have to report all these facts to the local government)!

Roadtrip baby! The Irish Loop

Conclusion: nice trip, a little long and a few of our members were somewhat hung-over... but all in all a great Saturday out in the fresh air!

Happy Birthday to me!

Had a great birthday on Friday! I got flowers delivered at the office! Three BIG flower-arrangements! They are so beautiful! Thank you so much "home", KZ and G+PØ!

The rest of the day was one great party! We stared out right after work with pizza at the Pi Pizza restaurant, and then went home to my new house and continued the party! DJ Graham served excellent music, and the boys made killer drinks! And mix that with a birthday cake and snacks, and really great people, it was a night to remember!

I have moved in!

Yesterday I moved into my new home! I moved some stuff over on Saturday, and the rest on Sunday. It almost feels like a home already. Just need some small minor adjustments, and it will be a worthy CasaKri division Canada.

The house in brand new, with all new furniture and towels and bedding. So I spent most of Saturday and Sunday doing laundry. And getting familiar with my new space!

This is my first morning view! Pretty nice I must say!!
