heh. Father called me just as I was writing this. he was checking a lot of the above, reminded me even of some of them that I hadn't thought of myself. he was just going to say goodbye when I complained about never hearing news from home anymore, only these constant reminders - I know they're worried sick, but it'd be nice with normal small talk in between as well. perhaps if they didn't jump to the top of the priorities list at once I wouldn't be so reluctant speaking to them.

so he told me how they'd installed Sis in her new 12 m² apartment. how they'd forgot the sack with her pillow and blanket at home and had to buy new ones. how she could see moos and baas on the nearby 4H farm from her window. that sort of thing.

he told me how the media made a case out of there having fallen 16.8 mms of rain during a two hour interval in Oslo, when the same day there was 27 mms fallen in half an hour at home. that sort of thing.

cozy. =)
