Shamelessly reposting some of mine because I have early morning anxiety and feel the need to prove my credentials when grumbling about somebody with a much larger audience 😂
Those of you who have previously been tempted by photos of crisp aurora over freshly fallen snow might find it necessary to know that it is currently snowing in all directions at once.

Polite letter to Old Lady Dog: it is ok to decide you don't want to be a husky any more due to the horrible storm outside. We can do a 2 minute high-speed bathroom break, no problem.
What you can't do is then sit inside, singing about how awful the weather is. Husky is an all or nothing commitment.

It's warm but it is very much the wrong kind of warm.

Today is the traditional community Christmas bar crawl. You decorate your kick sled with lights, then start from the northernmost bar in town, at sea level, and gradually make your way to the southernmost, 120m up.

Made some additions to the standard sandwich I ordered. Forgot to ask for other ingredients to be substituted out, so I have just been handed a ham, cheese, chilli, mustard and pickled onion sandwich and it is entirely my own fault.

I've booked two hours in the self-service sauna on the fjord for Christmas Day. If the aurora doesn't show, we're going to fall out.

Bluesky, we need a chat 😂 you're not allowed to be that much more enthusiastic about my half-arsed Friday morning dog walk snap than any of the carefully composed, high-effort stuff I spend hours on
She's being a bit dramatic this morning. Sudden, brilliant green spikes and then gone again before you can blink, only to reappear moments later over a different mountain

I have horrible period pain and Old Lady Dog is in heat, so we are sulking horribly on the sofa together. It is not a pleasant atmosphere but we are owning it. Robot Wars is on the TV (with Norwegian subtitles because Old Lady Dog doesn't speak English).

Big dog having a big dream (but with tiny boofs because he doesn't actually know how to bark properly - turning the sound on will improve your day)

Look, mate. I'm glad you're having a good time, but I did put that antler on your nice, padded, quiet bed for a reason.

Rush hour in the riverbed

It is -11.7°C today, which is pretty much the perfect temperature, right after the snow gets sticky and right before the inside of your nose starts to freeze.

Small Town Murder is one of my favourite podcasts and is great for people who like true crime but, like me, struggle with the glorification or 'murder porn' that often comes with it/would rather somebody just called the police out for incompetence. HOWEVER, many warnings and caveats, see list below

Currently experience the magnificent dichotomy of peeling off my heavy duty ski pants to clean up the blood from an ice waterfall injury (very minor, scuffed myself with my crampons on the vertical, no big deal) and change into my stretchy pants for all you can eat sushi at the sushi buffet 😂
