yesterday





So much snow here and even as I type now it's still coming down. Enough!
It did look beautiful yesterday though so I can't complain too much. I'm now learning to tell the time in Norwegian and it's difficult as they tell the time very differently to the English way! Also at my class yesterday I had to stand in front of everyone and make a conversation and I totally choked! I could not remember anything and a lovely Croatian girl had to take over from me. I wanted to cry! I have a ton of homework to do this weekend but first we need to go outside and have some fun in all this snow!
The dummy tree picture is from my local library where kids go to hang up their dummies with a little note once they have grown out of them!

  1. My goodness that snow just keeps coming over there! I can only imagine how hard it is learning Norwegian! I learnt Japanese for a while and that was extremely tricky but some it has stuck with me! I went to a place in Sweden called Skansen zoo and in one of the enclosures which had no animals, there were just loads of dummies, everywhere!
