Today was filled with PhD revising. It is a metaphorical mountain, steeper than yesterday’s hike. But things are coming together better, bit by bit.
I took breaks for laundry, a walk to the grocery store for milk, and preparing food. We had homemade pizza for dinner.
Anya was very productive for her online English course, as she is still catching up from getting behind when we went to Sweden. But she’s progressing too.
She had some time with Oda, who came over to help her get the bunad all set for tomorrow’s parade and Constitution Day celebrations. If you’re in the Seattle area, you can join the 20,000 people who check out the Syttende Mai parade in Bothell.
In the evening, our brains were tired, so we watched Sister Act 2. It is interesting how in the mid-90’s young women could wear baggy pants and it was cool.
Today, the baggy pants are only on guys. Our neighbor is doing some repair on the side of his house, and one of the guys helping him has such baggy pants, he almost lost them. It seemed to be a safety hazard going up and down the ladder when the crotch of his pants was at his knees. In contrast, our neighbor, Gunnar, is almost 80, but you’d never know it. That’s him on the top of the roof! He’s doing most of the work too! This is the view out the window by my desk, so I was a bit distracted by Mr. Baggypants.
Notice the grey skies and jackets. Today was not very nice. But yesterday was!
Here are more highlights from the hike to Pulpit Rock yesterday.
Norway is beautiful!
With blessings,
