This morning on my commute to work I did not need to stop or slow for any cars or people. I did however need to carefully navigate around a flock of geese and one reindeer who was staring me down as it pissed in the middle of the road.

Finished sauna, grabbed warm croatian breadsticks, ready to cheer for Croatia, Finland and Australia in Eurovision SF1!

Five years ago today I drove over the bridge to Tromsø listening to Uummannaq Song by KT Tunstall, and five cold years later I am still there, and hoping to head for home soon. 🇧🇻

Just completed my 60th monthly swim on my Arctic swimming beach, 5 wonderful continuous years through sunshine, rain, snow, midnight sun, polar night and aurora, on my own and with friends.

Bangers all!

Standing outside in my pajamas, cleaning my teeth and watching the aurora.

Due to busy-things and tide times this month, I ended up with a spooOOOooOOOooky witching-hour Halloween swim.

Beautiful morning, also first winter coat day.

Missed my one dance move per month for July, trying to catch up. It's hard to find simple but learnable moves. This is a one-take hair flip, because I can't manage anything else.

I was standing in line to buy a softis when Even from Skam (well, I guess Henrik Holm) walked up to the counter and started pulling out tons of napkins exactly like when he took all the paper towels. Still not sure I wasn't imagining things, but Moose saw him too! #skam #evak

Moose made a list of cities that are the northernmost cities of their size, but what amuses me most is that Helsinki has 666k residents.

YEEEESSSSS I got one of Matt Gray's Postal Surprises and am still bouncing with excitement! Thank you Matt! At 69°38'N, inside the Arctic Circle, maybe this one reached furthest north? @MattGrayYES

@olafurw Does this thing go up to 11?

How to really enjoy the rain:

1. Stand at the window (inside)
2. Put non-tea drinking hand on hip
3. Sip tea from mug
4. Say “look at that rain” or “it’s really coming down now”
5. Ask someone else if it’s raining where they are
6. Say the garden needs it
7. Eat all the biscuits

@olafurw I've only ever lived on islands, despite living in my fourth different country.

As usual, my new dance move got left until the last day of the month, and this time my back is completely screwed up. So here is my attempt at waacking, which basically seems to be Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes without the toes. Music: Lights, Ellie Goulding/Speed Radio

[emily @pangolinpants]

@olafurw Absolutely correct ❤😭

[emily @pangolinpants]

@olafurw Did you ever review San Junipero in this style?

[emily @pangolinpants]

I was dozing off while writing my to-to list (for Friday...)!
