18 Aug 2010 – Happy Anniversary to Ingrid & Hans Kristian

Mainly people pic for now until I get to a different part of Norway this weekend. The info & pic for Oslo posting was done in 12 Jul 2008. Good to meet up and shop with Marianne and welcome to the new addition, Edvard. Was in Oslo for their wedding 2 years ago/posting 11 Aug 2008 – Happenings

Was informed that the summer here in Oslo this year (now it is towards end of summer) has not been that fantastic ie weather-vice. Been here nearly a week and so far no complains. Had 2 days of rain but still warm enough to go without a jacket. Sat evening was a beautiful evening an outdoor performance by the Oslo Opera at the Opera House where the stage was a floating platform with a large crowd and fireworks to end the evening. A little taste to start the opera season was very delightful, even with just standing space!

Sun: As I am typing this my eyes spied the neighbour hanging up the hammock, wheeled a small table for his refreshment and relaxing in the sun. Norwegians are known to be sun-worshippers, especially this year! Family & friends of the Ingrid & Hans Kristian gathered to celebrate a beautiful day, probably the last day of summer! Thank you for a wonderful sunday.

Mon: met up with Mette and had a nice chat over coffee and a glass of wine. Our paths crossed in the early 1980s when I was going thru’ a difficult time in my life’s journey! We travelled to Ibiza and it was an eye opener for me to be there then! That was my first and last trip to Ibiza, not my scene but glad to have had experienced a week of it. A beautiful gipsy fortune-teller told me then that there will be three men in my life… hmmm my father, my grandson and maybe another grandson 🙂

Thank you to Ole K & Hanna for dinner yesterday. Nice to get to know their children, Jenny & Martin. Fond memories of Linn & Ole K when we were living in Tromsø over 30yrs ago. Where did all those years go???
