Norway was considered a part of Denmark until 1814, when we got our own Constitution. After that Norway went into a union with Sweden until 1905, but apparently that doesn't count, we were "independent" as of May 17th 1814. I'm not very good at history
We rounded off the evening by renting Star Wars IV, A New Hope. Aaaahhh - best movie of all time. My 9 yr old son saw it for the first time and loved it too. Luke Skywalker gazing heroically off into the distance with the two suns setting (or is it two moons rising?), and the dramatic music swelling... great stuff 
Since I'm on a photo roll - here's our cat Raptus demonstrating her catly ability to fall asleep in any position at all, even upside down. I'm not kidding, she slept like this for twenty minutes!
Well, until she was rudely awakened by a photographer buzzing round her nose.
