Rest In Peace

Just returned home after a final journey to the vet with our 14 1/2 years old cat. She sung her last final lament throughout Christmas after having most probably (according to the vet) been poisoned by licking something outdoors. Despite injection from the vet and a special diet, the poison (+ possibly old age) did her in, in the end.

R.I.P. puss.

A small before-christmas-update

Ahh. Short hair feels good. A relief, quite literally. No more long hairs in the soup. Or, on the brown-cheese sandwich, rather.

After having walked around as a long-haired troll all summer I've finally come to my senses and managed to drag myself to a hairdresser. Now that the snow is starting to fall and it's getting cold it's time to remove some dead growths (hair) up top so one can really feel the refreshing winter air on one's body (head, and ears). Maybe a bit backwards compared to how I should have done it, but who cares? It's only Christmas once (continuously from October to January) once a year (?).

Found a real cozy hair salon not far from the apartment. It was called "Salong Lady & Lord", and has been run by the same man for 38 years! Hair salon for both women and men, as the name implies, with separate sections for each. Arrived there at 8:00am yesterday (yep, they open at 8), but it was already fully booked the entire day. So I booked an appointment for today, and during the span of half an hour just before closing time I received a quick, precise and well done haircut, without it costing the entire world! I definitely approve.

What else? I am of course preparing mentally for "Førjulsturneringa" (Note: pre-christmas football tournament). This year we'll maybe possibly most certainly win (right)! Should perhaps get some new shoes, but we'll see what happens - it's not the shoes that make the football player, but commitment and waffles! Must start packing soon as well, I suppose - Friday (possibly Thursday) I'll take the night bus to the northwest of Norway and the pearl of the coast; Alnes. Will arrive at Moa around half an hour before our first match in the Godøy-hall Saturday morning. Plenty of time to spare, in other words.

Finally, here's a "before and after haircut"-photo for those who are particularly interested:
