A long way from home

Yesterday was such a shock. I really don't have words for it. My husband called me from his office just after the bomb had gone off in Oslo. It was just surreal.

Then the news of the shootings reached us later in the evening. Even more surreal. On one side I wish I was at home with my husband, on the other side I was relieved to be safe in my little sheltered cocoon in France with my good friend and my parents. No TV, no internet, and the news on the radio I could not make a lot out of since it was all in French. Just one of the French newspapers showed photos of wounded people on the front page, the others had nothing.

I do not think Norway will ever be the same again.
