A new week of my life is soon over, it's saturday and I have a self made pizza in the oven, that soon will be ready to be eaten. I thought I would take this oppurtunity to write some words in my blog, and this time I want to tell you about the week of my life that is in it's ending face.

I've had a week with many variations. By that I mean that I've experienced many different situations, and also the weather has been changing here on the island where I live.

Now my pizza is finished. I've just taken it out of the oven, and it looked really good. So now I'll take a break in my writing and go to eat my pizza. I think it will be very tasteful and good.

I'm back, and my stomach is full. The pizza was nice, but it wasn't the best that I've made or tasted. But now I'll tell you about some things I have experienced this week.

This week I've experienced both difficult and pleasant situations at work. I especially found it interesting being together with a group of girls when they listened to and talked with a health worker. It was good that these girls got the information they got and that they could freely ask and talk about all the things they had on their minds.

I also want to mention some things from my free time. One afternoon I was invited to the principal's home to eat a special dinner from the north of Norway with my colleagues. Most of us came, and on my way to the dinner I had a very nice view on the sky. As I sat in the car to one of my colleagues, I saw the Northern Lights - and it was really fantastic! I have seen the Northern Lights many times, and it's never the same, but most of the time I've seen it in the white colour version, and it's not always so big. This evening it was tremendous. The Northern Lights was filling almost all of the sky. I could see it whereever I turned to look from within the car. And it was full of instant changes. It was moving and changing fast, and the vague colours of pink and green I could see in the beginning just became stronger and stronger, escpecially the pink. So after a while I could see a big "belt" of strong, clear pink light, and it was really beautiful. Yes, the Northern Lights were really so wonderful and nice to watch this evening. I've never seen it so big and full of life and colours in one go like this time, I think. At least it was one very special sight that I saw. But as I said the Northern Lights is never the same from time to time. It's unique every time you see it. And this week I have seen it more than one day, actually. It's just that I wanted to mention this time, because it was so special. It was just wonderful, and it would be so nice if I had a camera and could film it as I saw it, but I couldn't. I really like to see the Northern Lights, but some times it's extra nice and fun to see it. You see, sometimes the lights are extra fantastic and beautiful and you get an experience out of the ordinary when you watch it.

Before I end I will also mention another part of the nature, and that is the snow and the wind. The weather has been changing, as I said. Some days we've had a clear, calm day with no wind, but this saturday it's been really windy here. When I went out to pick up the post today I saw it had been snowing a little more, and I noticed the wind was really blowing. Later on I've had some longer walking trips outside. One time I went to the school to do some work, and right then it was not much wind outside. But outside the school I could see the wind had been blowing and had moved the snow. I bent down and studied the nice pattern the wind had made in the snow. I found it fascinating. When I went back home, and when I went some minutes later went to visit a friend, it was very windy, and the snow was blowing around me. I took a break on my way home from the school and just stood there and felt the strong wind hitting me and putting snow on me. I found it fun and fascinating to watch the wind as it moved the snow on the ground - over and over the snow was blown into the same direction.

I have had some nice moments this week, and now I have shared some of them with you. The rest of my nice moments I will not tell about, because I want to keep them as my own secrets.

I hope you have liked to read about one week of my life. I wish you all a very good coming week!
