Woke up today to snow flurries! What a start to a day which in Norway is a celebration of Spring (as well as the constitution, democracy, independence, and peace).
It is Ingvild's 17th birthday as well, so we started the day with birthday breakfast: cocoa, boiled eggs, fried bacon, toast, presents and a little later, birthday cake. I decorated the table with balloons and bunches of flowers: daffodils and primroses. At 11am she got on the train to town. She is going to her old school to have cake and meet ex-classmates, and then to town to have dinner with her boyfriend and see the Russ (high school graduates) parade.
At noon we went to the village to watch the children's parade, listen to band music, sing national anthems and have ice cream. There is a store with Italian ice cream. Yummy!
Made a tofu veggie stir fry with fried rice for dinner. Otherwise I've been spending the day working on editing this blogg. The weather has been too unstable to make gardening savory: there's been a chill wind, and spots of sunshine, punctuated by snow/sleet flurries. Brrr.
