Roses

Came across this little piece of art today. Wonder what it would have looked like in minus 17, which is the temperature we had earlier this week. Today it was "just" minus 2 degrees. Bliss! :)

Longer days

The days are getting longer! The sun is stronger (when it is out). And I am really trying to get my DDDD (Daily Dose of Daylight and vitamin D). Project DDDD has resulted in long walks with fellow teachers in the middle of the school day, walking home from school with Nina, etc. etc.

Frognerparken, my favourite park, on 1 January 2013. 

This year has started off really well, and I am doing things that I enjoy doing. I am also having a positive view on things that come my way, and I have decided that 2013 will be the year that I do things I normally wouldn't dare doing! A year of positive (and scary) challenges. 

Lucky grapes

I didn't bring 12 lucky grapes to the new years eve party last night, but I was wearing my lucky grapes studs so I hope 2013 will be a year filled with luck!

It has definitely started off really well. To quote my friend Ingvild: This is our year, and it's going to be a good one!
