SKIING IN NORWAY

My wife teaches at a school, which goes on an annual skiing holiday each year. One of the perks of her job (for me, that is) is that the teachers' families are allowed to go with them, if there is room. For various reasons, this year there is room for me, and our three children. So in about an hour, I am off to Norway, to live for a week in a Norwegian hut, and to ski down their mountains. I can't wait.

No internet connection in the wilds, I'm afraid. So you'll have to wait until Friday.
