Hello Hivers, how are you during this december? The omicron is all over Norway and it's new records for infected ones every day. A lot of (unvaccinated) people are in hospitals and it's actually really bad in Norway. And it was a really bad timing for the omicron to arrive too because xmas is around the corner.
It's not really a lockdown with closed stores (I would have been without a job if it was closed!), everything is opened like it's used to but we have to use masks everywhere we go, and be less than 20 people at home (if we can stay 1 meter away from each other), and schools and kindergarten are closing earlier for xmas break and we should be with as little people as we can. There are illegal to serve alcohol at bars and restaurants. I think this is the worst thing, because the bars and restaurants earn nothing without the possibility to serve alcohol.
Anyways, this means that we need something to do while everything fun I had planned in now canceled.
The one thing I was looking forward to do is to fix my nails (because I overslept for my appointment last Saturday). Luckily I found someone that was good at doing nails, and effective. I always have natural nailpolish on. But I wanted to try out ombre nails with a touch of glitter.
The one thing I'm concerned about is my plan to celebrate xmas
at home with my mom and dad. We didn't celebrate at home last year because of covid, and it was too dangerous to go home when no ones was vaccinated. My mom have low immunsystem and are in real danger if she gets a bad flu too. My mom and dad have both the third vaccine and my mom always takes the flu vaccine every year. I have therefore prepared myself for some isolation, wearing a mask all the time and a few covid tests, and it will result in I can go home without any concerns to celebrate xmas at home.
I haven't baked and made a lot of xmas cookies or anything this year,
and it wasn't the plan either, but it looks like I have to do it now, just to not sit and watch Bob's Burger all day long. Haha!😅
Luckily did I find dough for making ginger bread (I really hate to make this dough myself), so me and 
I have for months now wanted to eat some good cheese and biscuit.
So we finally made the time this saturday to buy some good cheese, grapes, and buscuit. The cheeses was brie, some italian old cheese (dolce), and the best cheese in the world: Fanaost. It's actually true, this cheese won a worldwide contest.
I love wine. And I usually can't decide what I want to drink
I wrote earlier about the wines I bought for December... well, I had to buy more. Even tho I got 12 wines/cavas in my "cellar" (wardrobe, hehe), I wasn't pleased with what I was going to drink this xmas. So I had to buy something more. The reason may be because we don't give presents this xmas (or the youngest ones are of course getting presents), but we have a deal on giving food, drinks and the kids can make something is all good. I have felt like xmas presents just are a game of switching presents.
ANYWAYS, I decided to buy these two:
I had them both on my wish list.
I have been recommended them both from a wine podcast. Ferrari was told as a cheap wine who actually tastes a little bit like Champagne. And that is a huge pluss. Cremant de Jura is also in the same league. Cremant is also something I want to drink/taste more of, so I'm really excited for these two! I have tasted some really good Cremant (never a bad one really), so maybe I should challenge myself to buy more of these.
