I drink lots of orange juice and even more mineral water ... with bubbles ... and take cold showers ...



What do you do to manage the heat ?

Heat? What heat? 😛 Currently it's about 11C/52F here, and today's maximum was around 14C/57F. That's a bit warmer than it has been the last few days, and in the sun it was almost hot.

You get paid back in the winter though!

You think we'll get a heatwave in winter? 🙂

Edit: In a way that's true - the winters here are too warm to be really good winters.

What's your avatar, Nordlys? At first I thought it northern lights but now I'm not sure.

Yes, it is nordlys. I can't find a bigger version on my homepage, it seems that I haven't put it online yet (I haven't worked on my homepage for years 🙁).

Edit: I found it - it's not linked yet, but it's there: http://home.online.no/~khgott/20031113-36.jpg

Where in Norway? I need to know, I cannot stand the warmth and am having plans of emigrating to one of the Scandinavian countries some time in my life. Preferably somewhere where it will hardly get above 25 degrees Celsius and where I don't have to see or hear other people when I am walking around in forest for a few hours. My best bet will be north or middle Norway, Sweden or Finland.

I am in Bodø, which is north of the arctic circle, not far from the Lofoten islands. Bodø is the second biggest town in Northern Norway with over 40,000 inhabitants, so it's not a remote place, but I have often been for walks where I didn't meet people for hours (if the weather is nice and it's a normal time for a walk, you may not be able to avoid hearing some people or seeing them in a distance). It rarely gets above 25C here.
