Winter break.

Lordy lord, how good it was to have a week off! It has been filled with lovely mornings of card playing and time to faff about (as Mr. Payne would have put it), more work done on the house of course (crazy times!), a couple of café visits, a bit of work planning the semester onwards (such is the life of a teacher), and most importantly a big-girls-only trip to Oslo, to my friend and her sweet baby boy, for lunch and to the museum of natural history. It has indeed been a lovely week.
