Today was a catch up day for unpacking from the Sweden trip, grocery shopping, laundry, and cleaning. We’re having friends over for dinner tomorrow, so we needed to tidy up a bit. Anya wasn’t feeling well and had a low-grade fever for part of the day. Despite this, she managed to do some work to catch up on her online English course.
Getting to the grocery store before 10 am is good, as things are slow. On my walk down, I saw that they started the fountain. Here’s a glimpse.
I walked through the mall, though most of the stores weren’t open yet. The flags are out preparing for the 17th of May, which is the Norwegian Constitution Day, which is analogous to our 4th of July.
One of the things I like about Norwegian grocery stores is these tags. Each tag lists the price per Kg (or what ever is the measure), and these are the same across similar items. So, it is very easy to compare prices. It seems that in the USA there are variations in what volume is measured, so it isn’t as easy to compare price. Oh, by the way, in Norway, I get the hot salsa because the medium seems mild to me!
I got almost everything on my list and filled three bags. So, I took the bus part of the way home.
I cleaned quite a bit of the house, so here are some of the living room pictures.
The “indoor gazebo” picture from April 30 is connected to this room; left of the double doors.
It is quite cozy. My landlord, Rebecca, has a nice sense of style with an appreciation for antiques.
More home pictures on another “slow” day.
With blessings,
