elisabeth practicing telemark turns
We had a fine day skiing at Stavtjørn yesterday. Elisabeth spent some time practicing her Telemark turns.
Tara and Saule spent most of their time in the woods.

Finally her turn to swim with a candle in the opening ceremony. We are _both_ looking forward to our heats!
new windows for 1a
"Jens the builder" has replaced several of the old windows in number "1 A". Compare the 'before' and 'after' shots.
Can't wait for him to get started on number "1 B".
the surf blog
As previously mentioned, I am now a teacher in the art of surfing as well as various other things. One of the challenges issued to me by my former teacher, who is now my colleague, was to make a blog for the surf class. I did so quite early, but I haven't been shouting too much about it due to its lack of content - until now, that is! Unfortunately, for all those who don't understand Norwegian, the blog contains only posts in our native language. But fear not. For there are a lot of interesting photos (look for the word "bilder") and videos for you too look at, to catch something of a glimpse of what exactly it is we do here.
Peace out, and all that.

dare to be diff-erent
Elisabeth has a new hobby - swimming in the sea at least once a week. She was inspired by her friend Siri who has formed a group in Holmestrand on the Oslo fjord. Their group is called "Damer i Fri Flyt" (DIFF for short) which translates literally to "Women Floating Free" (as opposed to "Free Women Floating").
After their swim they enjoy an old fashioned chin-wag over a cup of hot cocoa from their DIFF cups.
