My Bouncing monkey and Policeman






The festival was actually to a great extent surrounding the fact that the fourth year students, one of which is incidentally my Ragnar, were now 10 years old and as such officially half-adults ;-D puzzled? Well at 20 they have this grand coming of age ceremony and apparently this was a chance for them to express their future plans and give thanks for what has gone before. Ragnar had a small part to play, he came out unto the stage, bowed, and the quickly expressed his interest in becoming a police officer when he grew up ;-)
Surpriced? Well I most definitely was, seeing as he's adamantly professed his interest in becoming an etymologist but apparently that was too illunderstandable and hence his future was simplified ;-P But they both did great and I'm incredibly proud of them! As well as proud of us, specifically Halldor for surviving four straight hours in uncomfortable chairs watching endless recitals, songs and some incredibly longwinded what seemed like science presentations ;-)
I of course spoilt them with hot chocholate and cake afterwards ;-)

Been trying to prepare for Christmas in between giving papers and taking tests but have it would seem only succeeded in totally messing up our precious livingroom. Hopefully though a mini Cristmastree will be procured today :^D Managed anyway to get presents sent off to dad and STeini, as well as their siblings and a couple of friends. In order to stay on the (semi)right side of sanity however I have decided the rest will be in e-mail form. Impersonal as it may be, after calculating the cost and even counting in child labour and hence mass productions of Christmas cards ... yeah well you get the pic ;-D
