Woke up feeling rubbish today :o( I think it was the flu jab I had yesterday; I was all achey and hot. A morning of lying in bed then a nice long, hot shower sorted me out, though, and I headed into work after lunch. I spent the rest of the day hunting for a really useful presentation which I’d managed to lose, and doing a bit of mapping. M got back from his course in the afternoon and came past my office to take me to Norwegian class with him. We had a good lesson and had a laugh with the tutor, too – she’s very friendly and finds some of the words we know hilarious; a lot of us have been on holiday to Norway and know phrases from the TV like “femti prosent avslag!” (50% off), or “frisør for hunder” (hairdresser for dogs – a sign I’ve seen in Stavanger before).

When we got home we had the dinner I’d prepared a bit earlier in the day – a Norwegian-inspired plate of cold salmon, potato salad and green beans. Delish! We watched a bit of TV while the electric blanket warmed up, and then jumped into bed to warm up our toes. The house is seriously freezy just now!
