Yesterday: second vaccination, and snapshots of the Drammenfjord

I hope you have better luck than I did, because my skin condition (pso) flared up badly, and on top of that I got a large rash on my leg.

Best wishes, Gabi 

I had no issues, except that my arm hurt at the injection site and it was impossible to sleep on that side, plus a slight headache. Otherwise everything was fine.

Andrea, the photos are beautiful. There are always two sides to everything. You can really enjoy the silence, the peace, and the beautiful nature—but probably more so during a few weeks on vacation. In the long run, that wouldn’t be for me, especially not in winter.

That’s true, Monika. But we live on a busy road, plus there are the trains passing by and stopping (the train station is 5 minutes from the house), and the parking lot. So a little peace and quiet like this works wonders, even if only for a short time.

Above all, I’ll miss the clear air and the gorgeous blue sky here when we move, and the fact that there are no mosquitoes to bother us.

Oh dear, so you don’t live in such a quiet place after all. Now I can understand your trips even better. Yes, as I said, there are two sides to everything. And the beautiful summer is already very short up there. You can enjoy it longer here.
