Hello everyone, thanks for the concern, yes it was a very bad day indeed.
And this morning we woke up to the news of 84 teenagers murdered at the
summer camp. Unbelievable. But we are OK and all our friends are OK.

I had finished work early yesterday and had thought about going into town
but
decided not to, thank god. I had just come out of the supermarket near
my flat when the explosion happened, it was loud enough to make me jump, and
we live a 10/15-minute bus ride away from the centre. It must have been hell
in town. Then I saw a huge white cloud rising up from the city centre in the
distance. The whole centre is cordoned off now, troops with machine guns on
the streets.

But the massacre at the summer camp is on another level entirely, the guy
walked around
calmly and shot teenagers wherever he found them. Hard to comprehend. The
irony here
is that everyone, me included, assumed it was al qaida/islamic extremists.
Turns out it
came from the other side of the political spectrum, a blond-haired,
blue-eyed, right-wing Norwegian.
Police now think there were two men on the island shooting, one is still on
the loose.

I thought I'd moved somewhere peaceful...
anyway cheers again
N
