Happy Norway Day!

once again it's been 17th of May, Norway's national day. and i thought i'd show you a few pics from the celebration..
me and Trine decorated the pub before we went down to a friends house and had norwegian waffles, muffins and beer, we were all nicely dressed for the occasion and we even had our own parade with brazband music from my ipod on the way to the pub, a small but lovely parade.
it was raining, but with sausages on the grill and a pint of fosters everything was good:D
We sang the national anthem countless times, drank just as much beer, danced around, converted irish lads to norwegians hehe.. Barry had bought a book called instant norwegian, and it was hilarious.
all in all it was a brilliant night, and we had loads of fun.
Very different from the celebration last year in new zealand, but i was really good here as well, less people but loads of fun:D


now onto the pictures.. Enjoy!

What a week

Wow, thanks for the pics it looks so pretty there, but where were you in the photos? I would love to go to England one day.
Anyways what a week we have had. Someone sent me an email that had a virus attached, and it crashed our computer. And then we couldn't fix it, then we had to go but an external harddrive with money we don't have to try save what we could. Then it flooded and our cars computer got all wet and we had to take it to the machanic to try save, which ws a whole load more money we don't have. Also our garage was about a meter deep in water and we lost a whole load of stuff. Not to mention my husband being real bitchy because of all this stuff going on. My daughter had to get her tooth extracted, more $ and i couldn't do any homework because all this was going on not to mention not having a computer to do work on. So i am so glad that this week is over.
I am really sorry going on to you it is just i can't complain to anyone around here. I miss you so much at times like this. I really hope that all is well.
lots of love Rachel XOXO
