As usual, we watched the New Year's Day Concert from Vienna on TV. I was amused to note that the ballet soloists from the Ballet de l'Opéra Nationale de Paris were Nicolas le Riche – Quasimodo in the DVD of Roland Petit's NDdP ballet – and Eleonora Abbagnato, who was one of the Esméraldas in their 2001-2002 production of it.

Well, Christmas is over, and it's time to get back to work. Sorry to keep you waiting, but here are three new pages. :) We hope your holidays were great - ours sure were! Even though it may seem so, we haven't exactly been slacking off (much), because between all the traveling across the country to see relatives, staring sparkly-eyed at the Christmas tree and eating lots of chocolate, we've actually made three pieces of gift art, as seen below:

        

The first two are for Emelie's kid sisters, and the third one is for a close friend of ours.

And we recieved some gift art, too. :) A lovely Vandi in a santa hat! She came in a Christmas card from the talented Lisa Medin. Go check her stuff out - she's great.



Well, that's all we've got to show for now. A belated merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and a premature happy new year from FribergThorelli (and Monty, our son/mascot...)! ^__^

…Here, breaking into sobs, and raising her eyes to the priest: "Oh! wretch, who are you? What have I done to you? Do you, then, hate me so? Alas! what have you against me?"
– "I love you!" cried the priest.
Her tears suddenly stopped, she gazed at him with the look of an idiot. He had fallen to his knees and was devouring her with an eye of flame.
"You understand? I love you!" he cried again.
"What love!" said the unhappy girl, shivering.
He resumed: "The love of one damned."

I've updated the mediæval bit of my website to include my Victor Hugo interests! Notre Dame de Paris now has a page in the section on historical novels, and I've linked to my IMDb reviews under the Film & TV Knights menu.

Have a good Yule!
