Isn´t it cool/Norwegian wool ...

This is Belgianwaffle broadcasting from Seljord, Norway, via David´s snazzy iBook G4.

The past few days have been spent travelling, settling in and sitting in the sun. However, right now, it is raining.

We have made Lego models, swum in the Legoland pool, and gone down rather terrifying chutes. We have driven along German autobahns, eaten pretzels on the waterfront in Bremen and been amazed by fabulous Danish breakfasts. We have sat up on the deck of the Peter Wessel and told terrible jokes for five hours ("Doctor, doctor, my dog has no nose" "How does he smell?" "Terrible") which make Lara laugh. We have kept our foot off the accelerator sufficiently to stay this side of the law on the Norwegian roads and remembered to switch our lights on when we get in the car. We have been informed that two of our students have got 7s in their exams which chuffs us enormously. We have braved the icy waters of Seljord three times and sat up until past midnight talking about fortysomething mum & dad things. We have knitted scarves in the passenger seat and bought yet more supplies and will buy still more on Tuesday (probably) from a woman who breeds goats. We have chewed the fat and sorted out the world and wondered why everyone can´t see what´s staring them in the face (unlike us). In other words: we are on holiday & it feels good.
