Then the Easter holiday is over. Today we have been at work. But the kids in our town has Winter holiday now, and the schools will be closed until the weekend, so my kids are still with their father. The weather is still very nice, so I went for a walk during my lunch brake today, in the wonderful weather.

During Easter time, I have read Mary Higgins Clark's book. "I heard that song before":

Easter Day.

Today too, we went for a walk on our feet in the area round where we live. Today we cathed a sight of 3 roe deers, during our walk, but on a further distance than yesterday. The weather is nice today too. We brought some cocoa in a thermos on our walk today, and had a cocoa break in the woods today. Here is a photo from todays walk:

Woods of the Trolls.

Easter Saturday.

Today we went for a walk on our feet in the area round where we live. We cathed a sight of 5 roe deers, during our walk.

We still have wonderful weather, and we had a nice walk.

Good Friday is also a public holyday in Norway, and Charles and I have not been at work today either.

Another day with lovely Easter weather! Today we have been wisiting Charles' brother, on his cottage. We were sitting at the terrace, and enjoying the nice weather. We also went ice fishing, but we did not get any fish. We made hamburgers for dinner. We fryed them while we were sitting at the terrace. I took this photo from the ice at the lake, by the cottage.

On our way home from Charles' brothers cottage, we stopped at the cottage of some friends of us, and had a cup of coffee and wisited them at their cottage. They have been working on their cottage for 3 years, now, and they have just started to use their cottage. The cottage is brand new, and they slept in the cottage for the first time, this Easter.

Maundy Thursday is a public holyday in Norway, and Charles and I have not been at work today.

We have had a wonderful Easter weather today. Sunny weather with no clouds. Unfortunately it is a cold wind, but it's okey, as long as you wear warm winter clothes.

Today Charles and I (and our two dogs, of course), has been on a walking tour together with some friends. This walking tour was arranged by some lokal organizer. We were walking over snowy fields, on the beach, and on roads without snow. It was almost like we had several seasons during our walking tour.

 

Yesterday we drove for 3 hours, and met Cecilie and Joakim's father. Cecilie and Joakim are going to spend their Easter holiday together with him. He lives a 6 hours journey from us, and we both drove for 3 hours, and met on the half way.

We had a wonderful sunny Spring weather yesterday, but it was a bit chilly. Today it's unfortunately cloudy. We even have had som snow in the air, but, luckily, not enough to be any snow on the ground. 

I still have my cold, but I am much better now, than I was erlier this week.

Charles  and I have been walking Chico and Rex in the woods today. We were very lucky with the weather. We had nice weather during our walk, but when we got home, it started to snow. I hope that it won't snow much now. I want to have Spring! We took this photos of me and the dogs during our walk today:

I have posted this photo, and two other photos from our walk today, at my Easter pages, and at my pages about Rex. In addition to this, I have posted a photo of Chico and Rex, here.

 

I stroll a round in our garden, before it started to snow. I was very happy to discover that the Spring flower Hepatica nibilis that I bought last year has flower buds! Some years ago, I bought Hepatica, too, but it did not survive the winter. It was very nice to discover that this one have survived, and on top of it all, has flower buds. I have posted a photo of it on my garden pages, here.

 

Today it's Palm Sunday, and the Easter is about to come.

Charles and I are going to work for the next two and a half day. Then we are going to enjoy our Easter holiday, and have some day's off.

I wish you all a very happy Easter!

Today it's 14 years since Cecilie was baptised. 

After 3 days home from work, I have been to the ear aqupunkturer, today. She put 7 needles in my ear, at the points for influenza, energy and other in relation to my illness. It might seem strange, but a couple of hours after this, I started to feel better. It is not like I suddenly by miracle, was well, but I certainly felt much better, and I had less pain in my head and throad. This is the first time, during these 3 days that I am feeling better.

Actually I managed to participate at the dancing course. But the only reason I managed this, was because the dance that we were learning on this course, is a very slow dance. I did even not get sweaty during the 2 hours dancing course. 

After the dancing course, I went to the culture cafè, together with Charles and Joakim, while Cecilie was sitting by the swimming poole, selling tickets to people who wants to swim, and after selling tickets, she was swimming herself, too.

I have been home from work today too. In fact, I am in worse shape today, than yesterday. I belive that I might thank myself for that.

Every year, Norwegian churches and congregations mobilise people for fundraising activities all over Norway. The majority of NCA's Lenten Campaign fundraising is carried out by volunteers across Norway. Every year, thousands of young confirmants, their parents, and local congregation members go from door to door raising both money and public awareness for global justice. Norwegian Church Aid chooses a different theme for the campaign each year, related to a specific area of NCA's work.

Yesterday evening was the day for this Campaign, and Cecilie who is going to be confirmated this year, participated in this, just like the other 40 000 confirmants from all over Norway. I had volunteered to drive some of the children, so that they were able to go from door to door, and ask for money for the good cause. I drove Cecilie and a friend of her. I did not leave the car, because I was ill. But the girls went from door to door, while I drove them, when the distances were too long to walk. I do not know how much money they raised, but I belive that they god quite much.

Today I am going to stay indoors the entire day, and do nothing. Exept that both Cecilie and Joakim are not going to school tomorrow, they are going to bring their skies, and are going to be outdoors the entire day, together with the other pupils, skiing and enjoying snow and outdoor life. We must find the skies and shoes that Cecilie and Joakim are going to wear tomorrow. We must also plan some cocoa and sausages for their "skiing day". But luckily Charles can help me with this, when he gets home from work.

In addition to this, I am supposed to bake a cake until tomorrow evening. Joakim's class (and some other classes) are arranging a culture cafè tomorrow evening. But as it seems now, I belive that I am going to bring a cake bought from the grocery store, instead of a home made cake.

On top of all this, the dancing course, Boogie woogie, continues tomorrow afternoon too (before the culture cafè), but I don't think that I will be well enough to participate on the course. It was not suitable for me to catch a cold right now, but I belive it never is.

I have catched a cold, and today I have been home from work, with fever, sore throad, headache and a cough. It's a lovely weather here today, and it's boring to spend the day indoors, when the sun is shining on the outside.

Earlier this week I spotted the first Coltsfoot. (This is the first flower to come, here in Norway, during Springtime.)

My pages of Coltsfoot is here.

I am so happy about these signs of Spring!

Yesterday's party was very nice. We enjoyed ourselves for several hours, with delicious food, chatted and danced.

Today Charles has been arranging a skiing contest for the kids in our town, Cecilie has been with some friends, while Joakim and I went for a walk with our dogs. The weather is nice, but it's blowing a very cold wind, and it's freezing outsoors. Here are a couple of photos from our walk:

 

I have also posted these 2 photos and another one, on my pagees about Rex.
