The first cross-country experience of the year

So this morning, I reached our family cabin in Gausdal, having gotten up very early – I do mean very – and catching a plane from Haugesund.

After having a late breakfast with the family, we decided to go for a round of cross-country around Skeikampen. This was really nice. The sun was glowing, and as we neared the top, it was just setting over the mountains – beautiful!

I don’t know what it is, but somehow, God always feels closer when I’m out in the mountains. I talked to a friend this evening who doesn’t share that experience, but I think that to me it’s simply the peace and quiet that is out there, and is hard to find anywhere else.

Forget wellness, spas, massage and the rest – go cross-country skiing instead – most stress-relieving :) (ok, the other stuff is probably pretty good too)

A most embarrassing incident

A couple of days ago, I went shopping with Serina, and had some time while she was trying out a vast number of outfits, to listen to the music played in the store. It sounded very fresh, a sort of electronica blended in with some vocals.

While paying for an item, I thought I would casually ask what music they had been playing in the store – ‘it had a nice sound’. The woman didn’t know what the music was, but one of her colleagues offered to find out. Before long, she returned with a CD – most embaracingly a Britney Spears CD… (!)

Somehow, at that moment, I did lose all the dignity I may have possessed :)

(afterwards, the woman came out from the back again, somewhat empathetically offering to salvage some of my posture by saying that there had also been a Malcolm CD playing, but it was sort of too late anyways)
