Fjordward

Yesterday, T got the dryer upstairs and installed it all by himself--well H was with him to cheer on his efforts, but she didn't have much to offer in the brute strength dept. As it turns out, we live very close to a self-storage place, so he was able to rent a handtruck. That helped with the stairs part, but I don't know how he got it on top of the washing machine without assistance. (I was blissfully cleaning the kitchen at the time.)

So, yesterday we did several loads of laundry and didn't have to drape them on various things to dry. It was lovely.

Saturday was Syttende Mai, and it was rainy and very cold. Poor H had to keep her lovely new dress under wraps all day. Still, we managed to have a good time, and we enjoyed seeing everyone out in their finery--I envied the women their woolen capes. I will post a few photos later--given the weather, I didn't get as many as I would have liked.
