wildlife excitement

When I went to Finse I hoped to see a fox in a winter outfit, and thought this not unlikely to happen.
I was told this was optimistic, but lo and behold, there it was!
I thought it only fair to show you a photo or two and a mini video.
It might make a good variation to my buzzard photos :-)
I am aware this is a nerdy streak of mine, but the great geek chic trend
makes this brilliantly faboulous :-D

Anyway, this proves how nice it can be to be optimistic and hopeful.
When I visited Laila in Bodø (in the North of Norway)for the weekend about nine years ago, I said that I was hoping to see the northern lights. I was told how unlikely it was that the aurora borealis would pop up during the weekend especially for me. Well, pessimists eat your hats, God is good, delighting me with the beauty of nature at opportune moments!

I nearly choked on my Lakerol sweetie at the time :-)
Anyway, here's a very cute semi tame wild fox that hung out by the Finse train station:

Adventures of 2008

Hello neglected Blog readers!
Are there still some out there?
I've been too busy on facebook to blog for a while.
And then there is also living real life distracting me from my internet activities.. :-)
So, what's new for me?
Well, I have a nice new job as a family worker in St Andrew's Parish Church in Bo'ness!
There's loads of stuff going on from there, check it out!!

So far this year I have been racing to the airport twice, been at an airport whilst lightening struck it, left Norway without my suitcase twice, (no, I wasn't just being scatty), been rescued by a man on a snowscooter in the Norwegian mountains with a group of other partygoers and held my first short seminar. I am unsure whether to take this as a sign that this will be a most exiting and eventful year, or whether this means I have filled my quota for the rest of the year..

Well, I am not really that bound to thinking in terms of fate, so I suppose to a certain extent I think for the next few months I will try to plan my life to be slightly less eventful.

I have also made some really nice new ceramic pieces. Well, that was mostly in 2007.

Hope you are all well and that some of you get to read and comment this! :-)
The photo is of Finse train station! In the winter this is the only way you can get to Finse, as it is not possible to drive there!
