Not sure I actually have much to say today… But I thought I might try to blog a bit anyway, since it’s almost a week since last time.
I had a great time at home. I got to see some friends, and more importantly my boyfriend. I went out on Friday to see The Pints play at Skuret, and got the chance to hang out with a few friends. I had a coffee with Jen, too.
My brother’s wedding was wonderful! Very cold atop a mountain in October, but what a fantastic view! 
The ceremony was beautiful, too. The bride looked like a fairytale princess. And afterward we were treated to a fabulous dinner. Main course was reindeer. Yum!
As the evening progressed, people became steadily more intoxicated, and it ended up with a bunch of us sitting in a corner playing guitar and singing (well, my eldest brother Tim did the guitar playing). I seem to remember some Pink Floyd and some Led Zeppelin, and Robbie Williams, but I was very tired… We also did Hallelujah, and Morten sang it so well! <3 We had so much fun, I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in a very long time…
The bride was charmingly drunk and very happy, as was the groom. I think, all in all, that it was a complete success, with happy guests, happy couple, good food and lots of alcohol. If my wedding is half as lovely whenever I tie the knot I’ll be truly blessed!
So, my weekend’s been full of music, laughter, friends and family. Yay! This feels like a terribly mundane blogpost… Oh, well. I’ll be more interesting next time. Here follows a short video from the wedding ceremony, in poor quality, filmed with my mobile phone. Tim playing guitar for Kjetil and Anki:

Amazing pics. They sort of remind me of the West Highlands of Scotland, but they should, since the West coasts of Scotland and Norway were both glaciated at about the same time!
Those pictures are actually from just across the Swedish border, but it’s all same shit, different wrapping, really.
I’ll concede that I could be wrong (again
), but ISTR that the watershed on the Scandanavian shield is on the Swedish side of your border most of the way (which seems odd, but maybe the tops were more accessible from the Swedish side up until the last 100 years or so?).
Not that it really matters to my real point where the political geography says the photos were takes, since the point was about physical geography anyway, right?
I’d give you that point if it was close enough to the border that the people there spoke the same dialect as their Norwegian neighbours on the other side, but they don’t, and the language spoken there is distinctly Swedish. One reason could be that in the municipality between Idre and Norway, Elvdalen, they speak a language entirely of their own, closer to ancient Norse than any living Nordic language.
I believe the more correct phrasing of your point might be that Western Scandinavia was glaciated at about the same time as the West coast of Scotland.
True, true. The vagueness of my ability to associate the physical and political geography of Scandanavia has never actually been an issue before.
