It's still very nice to be here. Can't believe it's been three weeks since I left Spain. I do of course miss Spain and the weather and the beach and the pool (and the people!!), but Norway life is good too. I'm enjoying time with friends and family, and the next couple of weeks I will even travel a bit! Now I will tell you a bit about three great ladies. My friend Gina, the very old (and extremely dead) Ida, and the famous Michelle.
Gina and Bjørn Trygve got married last Saturday!!! It took them 11 years and three kids, but now they've finally tied the knot. The wedding was great -- I think everyone danced at some point, even the 86 year old granddad and the one year old son ... Lots of soar feet the next day. But all hearts were happy, and I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed the wedding!!! Thank you to Gina and BT for arranging a great party, and tanks to DJ Gamla for the music!

Gina, the bride, had chosen a blue dress. She looked great in it with her ginger hair, and I particularly liked the hearts hanging down frome the waist. My dress was from Fuengirola in Spain --- thanks to my friend Elaine for showing me that great shop in F. I also had my hair done at the hairdressers. Loved it!

We danced all night, the music was great, and the atmosphere was fantastic! Lots of fun people there, and finally I've learnt the "Glow" dance, and of course some of us did the proper "Time of my Life" dance including the famous lift...
The famous lift looked just like this photo!!

Today I met another interesting lady at the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo. This lady is called Ida, and she's at least 47 million years old, according to wikipedia. (http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_(fossil)) Took some photos for Elaine and her biology classes next school year. I must admit I'm not very interested in fossiles and stuff, but I'm glad I've seen the famous Ida now.

Now back to a slightly younger lady. Rumours say that Michelle Obama will come to Marbella this week, on holidays. Well, it's not actually Marbella (if Google Maps can be trusted), but somewhere between San Pedro and Estepona. Still, I guess this means great publicity for the Marbella area. You can read more about her visit here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-1298261/Michelle-Obama-takes-daughter-Sasha-Marbella-Spain.html or a slightly more critical version here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/michelle-obama/7920121/Michelle-Obama-gives-Marbella-the-presidential-seal-of-approval.html

So this one is for the ladies!!!
