Long time no blog...
The christmas week was pretty special last year...
I came home from work late night, des. 22nd. and began hanging my new JVC X3 Projector in my Home Theatre :-D
After 4 hrs. I was finished, and finally went to bed.
The morning after I got to spend a couple of hrs. watching it, of cource I could not stay in my basement watching TV, christmas is family time :-) So I spent 23. with my family, and doing christmas preparations...
24th is the day we celebrate christmas here in Norway, I allways spend the afternoon/evening with my parents. We are usually gathered the whole family, this year we were 16 persons :-)
At 4 pm most of us went to church, an hour later we got back home for christmas dinner. My family eat lamb for christmas dinner, it's a dish called "Pinnekjtt", the name refferes to how it traditionally is cooked.
After all has finished the meal, it's time to open presents... my younger sister has been in charge of picking presents and reading out loud who they are to and from, for the last ten years. This year was no exeption.
Opening presents with 16 ppl present takes some time I can tell ya, hehe. Three hrs. later we are done, and things calms down as those of us with kids, leave for home to put them to bed.
The day after, I spend some hrs. on board my ship, doing some paperwork.
The rest of the day I spend with my family, over at my older sisters house.
The Second day of christmas, my older sister and her husband invited the whole family over for a Lobster dinner :-) later in the evening they have planned to have a Voerspiel/Pre Party.
We had to drop the party... The weather started to get worse in the afternoon, and by 6 pm. it was blowing at hurricane force, and we lost the Electricity arround that time. Without any electricity there was no way that the pub could have any arrangement, so we ended up staying home with wine, beer, and cheese. It was still a nice evening.
I ended up sleeping on a couch, walking home was no option in that kind of weather.
My plan for the next 3 days was relaxing in my Home Theatre, watching plenty of movies and tv :-D
Remember my new Projector? Well, turns out it don't work without electricity.... yay!
So, I ended up being a bit more social than planned this christmas.
We got the electricity back on des. 29th at 5pm
30th I arranged a big game of Paintball, it was fun :-D
we blew up aprox. 25 grenades and 35 Smoke grenades and shot 40 000 paintballs. hehe
This was the last time we played at the Field, they demolished the building 3d of january.
New years eve, I spent with my family,
First everyone, once more was gathered with my parrents for dinner :-)
later me and my nephew watched last episode of last years season of Dr. Who, and also the Christmas Spesials...
Earlier on the day, my brother asked me if I could take an extra trip at sea, because the mother in law of the other first mate was sick, and he wanted to stay home with his wife and kids.
The prospect of going back out so soon gave me no joy, but in the end it will be more dollars for me :-D
Well...
That's about everything, I'm still at sea, I have been home 10 days (3 of them without electrisity) the last 5 months.... I'll finally be home again on monday.
The fishing is Poor, unfortunatly, but I'll soon be home and everything forgotten :-)
For everybody that reads this, thanks for bothering :-)
