Well, maybe not that much.  But I did walk home from school today uphill...in the snow.  It's not quite sticking yet.  More of a mixture of snow and rain but it should be solid snow this week sometime.  Wouldn't be too surprised if it was snowy when Mom and Adina get here next week...next week? really?!

Just a quick update from me.  I had a pretty quiet Halloween weekend in Oslo compared to all of your going-ons.  My weekend mostly consisted of research for the two papers I am currently working on with interspersed sleep, gym and movie & TV watching.  Very relaxing prep for a busy November.

I now have 28 days left in Oslo so less than a month here but plenty of traveling otherwise.  My next trip is to Rome with Mom and Adina, a welcome respite from the Nordic weather.  That's quickly followed by a short stop in Stockholm, then goodbye to Mom and Adina before I board the plane for Scotland for my week long solo adventure.  See what I mean about a busy month?  But I think I'd take this form of busy any day. :)

My Christmas music is out in full force now.  This is my favorite time of year so I've extended it to two months.  It'll be a little different this year being in Europe but different in a good way I'm sure.  I can't wait to see all the Christmas prep in Oslo and also when I get back to the UK in December.  I'm so lucky.  Don't worry, I realize that I am and I don't take it for granted.

Well, I should get back to working on my papers.  Love you all and I love all the Halloween pictures and stories.

As you were...
