@ChrisBlackman Thank you for responding, Chris! A great pleasure for me after a long silence on Twitter. We have common friends in Stephen B. and Peter B. Both great people!

I am alive again! After two years of Twitter silence I received response from friends out there. What a feeling! This photo is the last clinging bit of civilisation on our continent. Next is Santa out there....Vardø

Dette er den norske samrøra. Tidligere kolleger, nåværende slektninger, venner og folk med sammenfallende interesser. Den norske «eliten».
Hvorfor fikk vi ikke en debatt om dagens store politiske feilslag? Symbolpolitikken som kommer til å knekke ryggen på pandemi-samholdet?

[Johan Vilhelm Eltvik @EltvikJohan]

Fire deltakere i «debatten» om vaksine og alle er enige om skjevfordeling. Noen ville bare ha mer av det samme og Raymond forsto ikke helt sammenhengen. En eneste stemme fra utkanten var alt vi fikk oss tildelt. Redaksjonen gjør dette fra tid til annen.

[Johan Vilhelm Eltvik @EltvikJohan]

Symbolsk raserer denne feilvurderingen enhetstanken og likhetsprinsippet og det felles verdigrunnlaget i pandemibekjempelsen.

Raymond-prinsippet følges i verden. De rike får, de fattige får ikke. Skulle Raymond-prinsippet bli gjennomført i Europa, hadde Norge fått null vaksine.

SYMBOLIKKEN ER GRUSOM

Inspirert av en korttenkt hissigpropp med tunnelsyn endrer regjeringen vaksinestrategien.
Sett fra distriktet er symbolikken grusom. Helsemessig får disse beskjedne antallene vaksine omtrent ingen effekt, men symbolsk går mye galt.

Raul Salas, National General Secretary of Peru YMCA has passed away. Ingunn and I have lost a beloved friend and our thoughts and prayers are with Jessica and Jorge and Raul and all our friends in Peru. Raul was a wonderful leader, and a friend none of us could afford to loose.

Oh man, once Trump gets his wall he better hope no one shows Mexico this old video we found.

@KLM hi! Sitting on KL 1928 GVA-AMS. Ended in the Middle and squeezed Seat B. I never book this. Did they change aircraft and not telling me?

Super service at #Cointrin Airport in Geneva. Security officer saved parts of my farewell gift - an antique watchmaking machine - being overly helpful! Thanks!

Autumn is my favorite time of year. This is last Sunday in the Rhône Alps in France.

My youngest grandson got the kick of his life today when he realized that when his mum was little, I was in fact her father! His reaction was: “Oh my gosh!”

Listening to @EltvikJohan deliver his Secretary General’s report. Always like listening to him speak so clearly about what YMCA delivers around the world #YMCAWC18
