Hi everyone! I'm back from denial (charter holiday in Gran Canaria, looking very pregnant in ridiculous hat, not my most elegant moment). We had a wonderful time, sun and pool all along.
Some observations:
* Scandinavians don't talk to eachother on charter holiday. Any ideas why? I presume a combination of uncertainty of social status at home, (he could be a carpenter, he could be a manager) and general shyness (openness and smalltalk is not for Scandinavians). We swore we'd act differently, but ended up like everyone else. It's a little bit sad.
* Las Palmas is a beautiful capital. Had the best lunch ever at "El Herreno". I got my squid, and it was heavenly.
* Reading Michel Houellebecqs disturbing novel on tourism "Platform" is interesting on a holiday like this. I recommend it. Or not.
* Spring not sprung in the Arctic as I imagined in my holiday euphoria. Will it ever? Read my next chapter in a couple of days!

Welcome back! Glad you enjoyed the relaxation! We've just had the most glorious period of sun here in Scotland - but it's not been exactly warm! And of course it's going to start raining on Friday just as I go off for a few days holiday in the Lake District.
To summer!!
Wellcome back! It is great to hear you enjoyed a lot!
And like your hat.
Velkommen hjem!

Sorry spring has not yet caught up with you. I hope it will soon! I'm very glad you had a good break, and I was surprised about Scandinavians not talking to one another abroad. I always thought Scandinavians were hugely egalitarian and/or classless, with a much smaller gap between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' than, for example, the US or the UK. But they also have a reputation for being shy.
Missed you--glad you had a great time! Perhaps you have brought a bit of warmth back with you--I will cross my fingers. You look adorably pregnant in your hat.
Perhaps a disturbing book can only be read on a holiday! You put it down and you are certain that it is pure fiction ;)
Great photo! you look adorable!
I'm sort of glib and I'm usually around others who are not, so I feel your pain. I always feel like I am running off at the mouth, and they are the cool ones. Where do all the garrulous people live--let's go there, as long as they don't have spiders, but I suspect they do. You can't win!
This is my first time pay a quick visit at here and i am truly impressed to read all at single place.
