Happy New Year

From Gard and Nikki

Celebrating new years at Mie's house

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

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

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
