There was a note waiting for me when I got home tonight.<\/p>\n
“Neighbours!<\/p>\n
Wednesday the 17th of May is the Norwegian Constitution Day. On that occasion, the boys in Number 5 are having a small party in their garden. The party will only be during the day, from about 2pm till about 10pm at the latest. At that time, the party will be moving on to The Outhouse in Broughton Street. Noise must be expected as there will probably be quite a lot of people here. We hope you will allow this as this is a very special day for us all, and it is celebrated to the fullest. You are of course all invited to join in on the fun as this is a party for everyone! We hope this celebration is of no inconvenience to any of you. See you there!<\/p>\n
Kind regards,<\/p>\n
The Norwegians in Number 5″<\/p>\n
Which raised a few thoughts in my head.<\/p>\n
A) If tomorrow is going to be a party, what have all of those other nights been?!?!
B) Is Moans Nogood in town? Sounds like his type of gig.<\/p>\n
I had actually mentioned ‘the Norwegians next door’ to Mogens some time ago, with reference to the Oak Table. We have very open windows and no curtains and many is the night when I’ve got back to the house at 2 or 3am and they have all been sitting round their table (which may be Oak) tapping away on their laptops, some wearing headphones. Seriously, it’s like a geek’s convention! We think it’s a hacker’s gang!<\/p>\n
Are all Scandinavians like this?<\/p>\n
P.S. I know the answer already and some of my best friends have been Scandinavian.
P.P.S. My partner works strange shifts so tomorrow is the day when she catches up with her sleep 😉 Not.
P.P.P.S. I have a nice bottle of single malt which I’ll probably donate to the cause.
P.P.P.P.S. Happy Norwegian Constitution Day to any suitable qualified readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
