Wow, it’s been a long time since I stopped in here to say howdy. I feel only the tiniest bit bad about that, since I notice most of my Norwegian blogger friends have also been absent from blogland. Everyone must be out enjoying the beautiful Norwegian summer and not bothering to report on it. Well, everyone except DianeCA and RennyBA, who have been out and about AND writing about it as well as working very, very hard getting ready for Oslo Blog Gathering 2010 which is happening this week!
The brainchild of Renny, OsloBG has been in the planning since last year and is the result of his wish to unite bloggers, blog fans and virtual networkers from around the world for a few days of fun and relaxation in his favorite city. I am simply awestruck by the scope of what Renny has achieved in creating OsloBG and am gutted that I am able to join the festivities for only one day because of work commitments. But I sure am looking forward to that day, especially to the opportunity to finally meet Renny, Diane, Tor, Beaverbush, Corinne, and everyone who will be traveling in for the event. This is going to be awesome!
The work commitment stems from my new part-time schedule at my new job back in the kindergarten where I worked as a substitute last year. I was very happy that they invited me to apply for a permanent position and am looking forward to becoming part of the school community. School started just last week and I already remember all of the names of the children in our class. Not bad for my middle-aged brain, let me tell you.
I have also just finished the first of what I hope are several Norwegian-to-English translating assignments for a firm in town, and am working on setting up a new website for my business. Oh, and I’m teaching myself to sew. Plus, I’ve decided that the interior of our house here needs some changes, so have been busy choosing wallpaper, paint and curtains. Don’t hold your breath for pictures of that work, since I still have unfinished projects started when we moved in three years ago. So, you know, just wish me luck.
I’ll check back in with y’all next week with news and pictures from Oslo BlogFest. Keep enjoying the summer!
