Mia back from the circus

The show was FANTASTIC!!!  Mia performed in the tight rope walking group and something called the American roller (see picture).  She was really good.  It was a very professional show.

Mia had a great time and was sad to leave.  

Wedding Anniversary

Last week, on Wednesday, Jarle and I went for lunch to La Maison Blanche.  This restaurant is on the top floor (with terrace) of a theatre just off the Champs Elysee near to the river and with views of the Eiffel Tower.  We ate a lovely three course lunch in the sunshine.  My main course was a risotto as requested (nothing vegetarian on the menu of course but they were happy to make something for me) which was a peculiar dark purple colour.  It was lovely.  Dessert was a yummy chocolate biscuit ice cream thingy which I had to eat super fast as it was melting in the sun.  Very stylish restaurant!

Summer for now.....

Storms forecast for tonight, then colder weather to follow......

Off to the circus

Mia waved goodbye with a happy smiling face (thank goodness) this morning.  The second grade are off to the cirucs until Friday.  It feels very very strange that she is away........

 

Weekend in Antibes

It was scorching hot in Antibes at the weekend.  The pool is lovely.  We will be very glad of it in the summer!  It was even too hot to eat breakfast on the terrace on Sunday (46 degrees in the sun).......  here comes summer.......

Penguin chicks

The eggs we saw at the Bergen aquarium have hatched!  See webcam....

Long Weekend

Today and tomorrow the kids are off school and Jarle is off work so this afternoon we are off to the flat.  The weather WILL be good......

We have had a lovely few days with Asta and Randi (Jarle's mum and aunt). They have just left and now we are tidying a bit in the garden and enjoying the warm weather.

Monday, Mia is off to the circus.
