My first vacation in years and years.

This feels unreal. I've been doing my thing 24/7 for years now, with no time for enjoying other bits and pieces of this big, cruel and wonderful world.

But for the next 15 days, I'll try to do some serious catch up... And blog about it here in case the occasional friend or relative is wondering what's happening. I might even post some pictures from my mobile phone, if I can find out how to get them transfered to a computer.

Early tomorrow morning I fly out of Torp to land in Stansted, north of London. A bus will take me to Heathrow where I'll get to sit on the back of a motorcycle driven by my hospitable friend Jim over to his place.

This will be my first time on a motorcycle, believe it or not! (I've driven a moped in my younger days, and even crashed it doing 80 km/h, but that's different. I hope...)

Hei Nils

I hope you'll have a nice time 'over there' in London. Our thoughts are with you.
By the way, I remember very well when you crashed your moped. Your mother called and informed us. We really enjoyed your stay with us in Bodø after you came out of the hospital.

Love from your cousin Solveig B.G.

Hei Sol.

Yes, I was 18 at the time. They didn't want to release me from the hospital because they thought I might have a concussion. In reality I was sulking because I hadn't had a meal in a long time. (They keep you off food to be sure to detect nausea which is a symptom for concussion.) So you had to "take responsibility" for my wellbeing, before they would let me go. I felt humiliated, but you and your family pampered me and made it all good again! :-)
