Birthday and Studies
I am in Oslo all week for studies. Flew down Monday morning, and will return by train Friday afternoon. I had hoped to keep up with my blog during the nights here, but last night I discovered I didn't have to program on my laptop for downloading photos. So all my photos from the last week will have to wait till I am back home again.
It was my 47th birthday on Sunday, a perfect day :-) I woke up early and had almost two hours by myself before the rest of the family could be heard. I love the quiet time, and really didn't mind. Had breakfast, read, and opened the gifts from my penpals - mostly books, which I always LOVE. When Terje and Marta woke I got my present from them, a mp3 player, which was on top of my wish list. Øystein helped me to fill it with music, so I now have The Barber of Sevilla by Rossine, Vivaldi's 4 Seasons and alot of Verdi arias with me. Great.
In the morning I took a long hike in the forest. It was snowing quite heavy, and I loved being out all by myself, and decided that big snowdrops in my hear on my birthday must mean good luck for the year to come.......
Here in Oslo I stay with a cousin of my mother. She is really spoiling me. Breakfast is on the table when I woke up in the morning, dinner is on the table when I come home from school, and later in the afternoon we have coffee, we watch television, we knit and we listen to music. I am knitting on a pair of very fancy summer socks for Marta, much like the ones I knitted for Ingrid during Easter but much brighter colours. They will be a surprise for her when I come home. Tomorrow I will meet a friend after school She is a knit artist, so we will have alot to talk about.

Happy Birthday a few days late! Much happiness and joy for you this year.
Dearest Britt, I am a few days late but hopefully not too late with my HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes. I have been in Cologne over the weekend to visit an uncle of mine and stay with a girlfriend and I, too am having school this week in Salzburg.
Love from Austria

Hi Britt Arnhild,
Hope you post pictures of the socks. Am very interested - have a lot of patterns and have ventured off on my own with various patterns. Happy Birthday, belated though it is. Ardi
May the big snowflakes you walked with have been filled with wishes that come true for the coming year. Happy birthday friend, though belated. I enjoyed reading your post of your day.
