Just a small picture to show those who haven't seen me in a while that I still look like me:P Maybe that means that I have to write some more about me... there's not much to say, I'm done with my exams for this term and I got back home yesterday, which is lovely..or...at least quiet..
The 'Advent Star', the star that shines from the first of December till 13 days after x-mas day. And it lights up windows throughout the country and reminds us what time of year it is. It isn't real advent before the star is put up.
And with christmas come all the christmas preparations.. cookies to be made, rooms to be cleaned...and brass, copper and silver to be polished! That is what I have been doing for the last couple of days, I've been polishing these yellow-coloured metal items. I don't understand where my mom finds all these things cause they must appear from deep inside drawers and should never have been allowed to see the light of day, at least not my fingers. But they all get so pretty and shiny afterwards;)
(hope these pictures aren't as dark as they appeared on our desktop screen..they looked much better on my laptop:s)
For those who believe that during winter time in Norway it is dark 24/7, that isn't so. But it is true that the sun doesn't shine everywhere, and this is about how much sun I can expect to see during this break. It is full daylight, but we're missing out on the rays from the sun because of the mountains. So the only sun I will see is when it touches the mountains on the other side of the lake.
Now, I'm gonna sit down by the fire...
...and start on this book.
