Thanks for the pictures Mandy! I noticed that Marius has been mentioned as being in attendance at his mom's birthday but I have not seen any pictures of him yet. Wonder what Marius made for his mom?

Forgot her birthday, again!
For the second year Mette-Marit's old school forgot to flag for their famous pupil.

KRISTIANSAND (Dagbladet):
- *Embarrassing, says principal Arnt Jørgen Eidsaa at Fiskå School in Kristiansand.
- Extremely embarrassing, because it's exactly her birthday.
He's in the same boat as Dad, Sven O. Høiby, who live in the appartment building closest to Fiskå school. He didn't flag for Mette-Marit yesterday, either.
- I promise, I'll do better next year, the principal proclaims.
That piece of homework was done properly by Mette-Marit's elementary school, Slettheia, this year. Starting school, the pupils were greeted by flags.
