a productive start to the day

I woke up inspired to work out this morning (this inspiration may have had part of its source in this delightful holiday video from Norway), so I started a load of laundry, did my work out, ran the next load of laundry, chatted a bit on the phone with David, who has started phase one of their trip home: bus to Gothenburg, where they will enjoy a long lunch with some of Caroline's friends, and then board the night train home. While on the phone I wanted something to do with my hands, but didn't feel like getting out a sewing project, so I took my old bamboo toothbrush, cut off the brush end, cut the handle in half, and turned the first half into a nålbinding needle. Now the third load of laundry is in the machine, and I think I will put on my skis and go for a short adventure before deciding if I want to bake cookies before Stephanie and family arrive this afternoon (they were meeting Gilbert in Oulu at noon, their time, so in about 10 minutes). It is a three hour drive, plus how ever much time the spend in town in Oulu before heading this way, so I have a fair bit of time.

Tomorrow morning we will go to fighter practice and from there out to Storforsen.
