Wife developed flu-like symptoms. Despite the low probability of Corona, called the helpline and got a test scheduled for early next morning. Got the results later the same day (negative 🙏). Impressive system!

Fantastic weather! Cycled up and down Peer Gynt vegen (not the whole way). Dusted off the drone to try and capture some of the beauty (wife included).

July 4th is a slightly different kind of "independence day" for us. 10 years ago today we landed at Gardermoen and started a new phase of our lives. Heia Norge! 🇧🇻

Wife was, understandably, quite angry after I washed her hand-knitted wool sweater on the wrong setting. BUT, on the bright side, it now makes an excellent seat for walks!
