For a second there I thought we were getting 'The Rest is History' as a Scandi noir drama.
The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...
Tidligere forsvarssjef om Trumps USA: – Neo-fascistisk bananrepublikk (+)
Tidligere forsvarssjef Sverre Diesen mener USA er blitt «en normløs og fiendtlig innstilt stormakt», og advarer samtidig mot å feste vår lit til Europa. Harald Sunde mener det haster med en plan B.

I know it flies in the face of *absolutely everything* but I've had a really nice and relaxed day doing a lot of walking around and looking at things and not very much else.

In a pair of the most middle-class injuries imaginable, twisted a back muscle putting Christmas decorations in in-laws' loft and then exacerbated it trimming the wick on a candle.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Now into hour six of the two hour journey from Glasgow to Lancaster so obviously I'm in Blackburn and heading for Wigan.
Making what should be a short two-hour train journey to catch a ferry. Related: anyone know how to kill 90 minutes in Carlisle on a Sunday night while it stretches to eight hours, two buses and two trains?

@alicefraser.bsky.social Cannot begin to tell you how good "going to live on an island someplace" (which I'm doing tomorrow) looks right now.

Everything about 2026 so far says "go and live on an island somewhere" would be a tempting option. So fortunately I'm doing that tomorrow.

I met David Cameron twice before he was an MP and didn't find out I'd met him for more than 20 years.
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

Good morning to a week that is going to involve stopping one (brief) job, starting a new one, trains, new year, multiple visits to hospital(s), overnight ferries, moving to a different country at an address I can't pronounce and a family birthday. No, it's FINE.

I don't know why, but Briggite Bardot absolutely fits the profile of celebrities that usually pass away between Christmas and new year.
