Douglas won a price, we bought a house, skiing!

A long time since we last posted something, and a lot of things happend in de mean time:

In the last week of February, Douglas went to the Netherlands because he was nominated for a prize. In the finals he managed to win the Universities Fonds Delft Cofely Energy Price! Of course he was very happy with that!

And: We have bought a house here in Harstad!! We were looking around since October, and it took us some time to figure out what we wanted and to find the right house. After we found it, the strange Norwegian bidding practices started, but apparantely we had a good strategy and we got the house for a good price.
At the start of May we will get the keys. In our new house there is more than enough space for people to come and stay over. Maybe a good insentive for those of you that have not planned their trip to Harstad yet?

We have done quit a lot of skiing in February and March, straight after work to the ski-slopes, enjoying new powder snow on the slopes and the fresh air! What a great place to live in!!

Vi snakkes!

Claartje and Douglas
