Sinning on a Sunday

Today I've broken the unwritten rule of not working on a Sunday... Baking isn't too bad, but changing the bed on a Sunday just isn't appropriate. At least I didn't put the wash on!

"Aldri så gale at det ikkje er godt for noko" - after the baking session I got to have lunch with a friend. Freshly home-baked bread is delicious! (Notice the Jarlsberg cheese - I never eat it at home, but when you're abroad you do the funniest things to remind you of the tastes and smells of your home country!)

Happy New (Chinese) Year!

As I've just finished my last pieces of coursework for my Ma I've taken some time to look back on the year that's passed and to catch up with friends through e-mails and cards. It's so easy to think that you'll write those words tomorrow or make that call next week, and then it just gets lost inbetween all that work that needs to be done. I just hope that all my friends and family know that they're on my mind even though they don't always hear from me very often.

In the year that has passed I've made so many memories I will keep with me forever. I've shared great moments with family and old friends, and I've made many new frienships that will last a lifetime. It's been a good year in so many ways and I look forward to seeing what the new year will bring!
