An interesting month. Well, that was an understatement and a half :). Lots and lots of completely new things, people, routines. And some old habits found hiding in unexpected places.
I'm back at work, and so far, it has been going rather well. But the whole heading out in the morning and then coming back, leaving only a few hours at home, this is a rather odd thing to have to get used to all over again :). Don't remember this being an issue when I first started in Asker after the couple of months off in Kolkata! But then again, at that point, more or less everything about an office job was new. So I guess there's that.
One very new thing now is of course the hour long commute. But I've settled into it, more or less. Taking the train means at least about an hour of reading! Which means I'm making good headway through book four of the Malazan Book of the Fallen :).
And in the middle there was the whirlwind trip to London to catch up with some of the American family. Note to self, late Sunday flights make for a sleepy Monday morning commute to work :).
There's some unexpected positives of an office right on the edge of the fjord, of course. The photos, for instance. And now that it's gotten somewhat properly cold, it's also interesting to see the mist coming off the water as the sun rises to make things just a little bit warmer.
Fresh snow has also meant a bit of cross country skiing. And the downhill season is expected to open in (hopefully) grand style with a long weekend at Hafjell! If last year is anything to go by, that should be an entertaining experience indeed :).
