And that's me back in Bergen

tilly_stratfordThe train journey went surprisingly smooth. I spent it listening to Janelle Monáe (who is my newest "rad female singers" discovery), and memorizing the Norwegian translated lyrics to Vysotsky's Нейтральная полоса (a.k.a 'No Man's Land'/'The Neutral Strip' - the one with the two captains picking flowers in the no man's land between their two zones). Maybe it'll come in handy some day, who knows.
Linni's been here in Bergen while I've been away, my good friend Maria's been stopping by giving her food and attention (though the latter wasn't very appreciated on the cat's side, after what Maria's been telling me). I expected Linni to give me the cold shoulder treatment once I got back, but once I'd put my bags aside she was all love and attention. She just can't stay mad, that cat. Though she does seem to have learned a new "pay attention to me NOW" kind of meow I don't think she used before.
Bergen seems to show itself from its best side now that I'm back though! There's sunny weather, I found some dirt cheap bread and carrots, and a stranger told me I've got "crazy funky" dreads. We conversed in English, "crazy funky" were the actual words she used. Awesome.
