I am always reminded of the movie THE BLIND SIDE when reading this poem. Wonder why? 🤓

Now, we are celebrating #200PnPcovers, and our favorite #soldier has returned! This year, he is joined by Lydia, lovely and glowing, fresh from a #walk! (Poor Ted)
[Unfortunately, we could not get them in the same photo, as Lydia kept attempting to disrobe Wickham. 😆]
Congratulations, Cynthia! I‘m so glad I got to celebrate your 200 party with you! ❤️

I went downtown yesterday and snapped a few pictures.
The first is this statue. Standing below the royal caste, between the national theatre and the first university.
This is Gunnar Sønsteby. He fought against the Nazis in WWII and had several code names like “nr. 24” and “Kjakan”. He is Norway‘s highest decorated citizen.
The location of his statue is where he stood April 9 1940 when the Nazis invaded the country and walked down Karl Johan.
