Gro Harlem Brundtland with the “Woman Government”, Oslo, 1989

Gro Harlem Brundtland was Norway’s first female prime minister and first female leader of the Labor Party. In 1983, she established and was the chair of the UN World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) which made the concept of sustainable development well known. She was also Director-General of the World Health Organization from 1998 to 2003.

In 1989 she put together what was called the world’s first women’s government - eight of the 18 ministers were women, which at that time was groundbreaking. She also introduced this 40 percent rule within the party. And for nominations for parliamentary elections, the top two candidates should be of different genders.

Ah, well
Not being a julebrus conaisseuse herself, Maria ought to trust Sigge on that statement - at least, she could somewhat relate to it. She also had her preferred brands of Glühwein and was able to taste the difference in those too.

Eh, it’s been alright, really. I’m sure you know how it is, you’re mostly caught up in work - not that I mind of course, I might even get to open my own vetinary office next year. So, that’s something I’m looking forward to. What about you?”

Oh yeah, I know that feeling. It’s only worthwhile when a busy job is enjoyable at the same time. Otherwise, it’s just an unavoidable source of unnecessary stress. A small smile rose on his lips as he thought of his own occupation he admittedly had been dreaming of for years. It took years of attempts just to join the ranks of the national orchestra, and the prestige of the position itself could make it a lot to bear, but Sigurd loves what he’s doing, so at the end of the day, the pressure is worth the reward.

Congratulations, though. That sure is a big step forward for you, isn’t it? He clicked his tongue as his hand made its way towards a plate with appetizers. This time, it was a star-shaped cookie with cheese and smoked salmon on top. Promised seafood, right there.  And I’m ... I’m quite okay. Enjoying my break, trying not to overwhelm myself... and plotting a skiing escape sometime soon. The snow is already laying thick in the north.

I strongly recommend trying porridge, and being mindful of a hidden almond in it, he smiles sheepishly as he generously refills his own bowl with the aforementioned meal and looks up at his companion while invitingly holding empty ladle mid-air.  The lucky finders will be rewarded with something ... nice.

Fancy a helping?

 With all due respect, he begins solemnly, his eyes fixed firmly on his interlocutor holding a glass bottle full of red, sparkly beverage  I must disagree with you. All julebrus doesn’t taste the same. I understand it might appear as such to ... unaccustomed tastebuds, but I assure you that after you’ve tried many different brands, you’re able to tell the difference. He sways his own bottle a little before taking a hefty sip out of it.

Either way ... it’s been a while since we talked. How has life been treating you?

Julebord, a Scandinavian feast or banquet in the days before Christmas in December, and partly in November, where there is served traditional Christmas food and alcoholic beverages, often in the form of a buffet.

Sigge and Synne join forces this Advent to provide everyone with good food, alcoholic beverages, and festive mood just before Christmas! If you’re ready for an abundance of pork ribs, suspiciously smelling fish, sweet rice pudding, spicy sausages, and many other delicious dishes, hesitate no longer and join the julebord they have been preparing for weeks.

FAQ [ IC ]:

Where? Stavanger, Norway (Sigge’s house) When? December 21st-22nd Will my commute costs get covered by the rich Norwegians? Yes, partially or wholly. Can I stay overnight? Yes, hotels and guest rooms are ready for you. Should I bring some food with me? It’s not necessary, but it’s not unwelcome. Should I bring some booze with me? Yes. The more the merrier. Can I have the leftovers? Please. They’re begging. Dress code? Yes, and it’s somewhere between formal and casual. Can I be kicked out for being a nuisance? Yes. Please behave. Can I stay for Christmas? Yes, why not.

FAQ [ OOC ]:

What if I’m busy on that weekend? It’s okay, you can reply later, time isn’t real after all. Personalised starters? Not really. I'll post several general open starters anyone can jump at anytime. This makes interaction easier imho, and we all can avoid the awkward situation where you’re unsure how to reply to what I wrote for you, and therefore you’re excluded from participating. Instead, you can pick the starter you like most and reply to it! You’re also welcome to @ other people than me ( on either Sigge or Synne blog ) to keep the interaction going between you and them! (´•ω•`)♡ Will there be a tag for the event? Yes! Tag your posts with #( julebord2k19 ) for either me or other participating muns to see your stuff!
