I´m alright.

By Sølvi Elise | 23/07/2011 |

I know it´s been a while since I last posted anything, and yesterday I was planning a catch-up post, joking about reporting that I´m alive, and well. Little did I know about today´s dramatic events here in little Norway.

So instead of showing you what I´ve been up to the last month, sewing wise, I just want to let you know that I´m alright, and so is my immediate family and friends. My brother works just a block away from where the explosions went off in Oslo today, so his day was spent helping those who needed help. Other than that, I believe that all my people have been spared from the drama.

My heart and thoughts goes out to the families and friends of everyone that´s been affected, and especially to the parents who´s kids were at Utøya. I can´t begin to imagine how they are feeling right now.

For rather updated and insightful information in English, I can recommend the liveblog from Al-Jazheera English.

I leave you with this song, which I find uplifting in times like these:
