Sophie enjoying dancing to stuff on the computer. Her current favourite is the heavily-franchised phenomenon that is Hi5. I urge you not to investigate any further. Jo and Sophie had the swine flu vaccine on Friday and both have been feeling rotten all weekend. Next weekend we're off to Cambridge for her oldest chum Dan's 4th birthday party.
Norway is still, thankfully, a Christmas-free zone.
... play in a scaled down oil platform,
... pull levers,
... make new friends,
... drill your first well,
... and play "Crazy Engineers" (my videogame of the month).
Really nothing happening here ... zilch. Took the day off work today and myself and Lottie had a walk to the top of Dalsnuten (our nearest big hill). You can see our house in the distance across the fjord in the picture. Weather is unseasonably mild. Sophie is well although has taken to waking very early (... what's that all about?). We've instigated a system whereby she can't disturb us until a lamp outside her room comes on with a timer switch at 7.30 am. Sophie is not a willing participant in this new system. 
The British School's annual bonfire party goes something like ... hot dog, sparklers, toffee apple, bonfire, fireworks. Sophie's feeling a bit grotty at the moment so we didn't stay until the end.
A couple of weeks ago we came across an old ship moored in Stavanger harbour. It attracted a large number of ship enthusiasts who you can see making detailed observations of rigging and cannons in the background on these pictures. My daughter humoured me whilst I ran around it doing pirate impressions.
Scary .. err, cheerleader ...
... and scary witch ...
... make scary pizza ...
... and fly home on scary broomstick.
