around oslo

went with hazel to the hospital for her checkup... she is 6 months pregnant.... the hospital was lovely... paintings, nice one down all the long corridors, and the kids section was amazing..

she was seen by a midwife, who is the one who will oversee the delivery. You only meet a gynac if there are problems or complications. Hazel has a bad cold and allergies but they give no anti biotics or anything. There is no homeopathy.... or any alternative forms of therapy.

Yesterday we went to one of their freinds house and the wife was suffering with really bad migraine. Since I used to have it, and it was cured by jal niti (the yoga technique where you take warm salty water up one nostril and out the other) suggested it. Suprisingly I was told that there was only one yoga centre around....... so maybe this is a good place for people doing alternative therapies..............

The houses here are built primarily of wood...only some old houses in oslo use bricks and cement.. which comes in neatly cut and polished logs... all the cutting nailing is done electrically... all very high fi. Wwe went to one apartment block which looked like it was made by screwing aluminium sheets together..

Lots of statues around................ heres a lion with hazel and kurt......

Also went up a hill and saw the skiclope that is being remade for the winter champtionships.... all construction..but there was a old wooded church

The weather here changes all the time..... its cloudy and windy then the sun comes out... am still getting used to the fact that its cold with the sun out.... today is the first time i am sitting inside the house with a sweater on.funnily it is getting colder in my experience.... not getting used to it as yet... its more like the cold entering your bones...........
