Gift from Olav

A calender to hang on my office wall....in the past he has always annoyed by the lack of a calender when we are planning upcoming activities :-)

Ame getting her ear pierced

As a pre-birthday gift, Ame got her ears pierced. So here she is in deep concentration...waiting for the pain factor to kick in :-)

Jone's new color

Jone went for a brownish color - even if it doesn't look like it on this photo :-)

Jone is also getting his hair done

Dying the hair with 9-7

For future reference: we stared with 9-7 and that was a failure. We then moved on to 10-8 and that was not much better and third round was with mini-color. So in the future I guess we should try something different :-)

View from Ulsberget

Ice crystals - it is cold these days

Sunset moment

Three swords

"Sverd i fjell" (swords in rock) outside Stavanger on a December afternoon. The sunset was beautiful.

But I guess not

My old phone has now retired

Look at what was in the calender today

Annual INTSOK Christmas party


At Frogner in Oslo

Dreaming about Traders


I'm at SAS Plaza...but I have to admit that I 'stole' a couple of bottles when staying at Traders. So now I can at least get a whiff of Traders whereever I go

Back in Oslo
