Tuesday 17th June 2014 Get up in time to see Erik set off to work in his Lycra and for Torill to take us to the nearby Sandvika train station from where the airport train leaves. Sad to leave Scandinavia where we both feel so at home , not least because in both Sweden and Norway all our friends speak such good English. As Swedish and Norwegian are very similar I cope fine by speaking the former in both countries but it has been fascinating to observe groups of up to ten people, all speaking English, as a courtesy to Gail. Gail has obviously appreciated this but on at least one occasion she has reminded a couple of Swedes or Norwegians that they should feel free to speak their native tongue when speaking to each other rather than struggling to find the appropriate words in English!
That’s all for this blog and I’ m not sure when followers( both of you!) can expect their next boredom fix.
Cheers
The Obese Ferret.
