Frozen Oslo Fjord :)

February 14, 2009
People out and down by the fjord enjoying the wonderful weather
I know its Valentines day and i'm sure most of you celebrate this day:) Me, i have never really given this day any special thought since its not a tradition in our country, but i did make a little effort for a change hehe.. I made my boyfriend a carrotcake in heartshaped. He was off to work so after having done some housework i went down to the Oslo Fjord and there i met a couple who was out skating on the fjord. I had a nice talk with the two and the man told me he went through the ice 3 weeks ago and was happy he had the icepicks around his neck. So after a nice chat and taking a photo for him and his girlfriend out on the fjord i took some photos and went home. Then i went to the store to buy myself a pair of icepicks...Yeah so tomorrow i'll have them with me, but of course i hope that i don't have to use them. Better to be safe then sorry:)
