I can´t say it has been a long month. I thought it should be one terrible month when the girls left 1th of March, but it´s almost unbelievable that they have been away more than a month already. When they left I felt an extreme emptiness. Even though I really tried to be happy and think about that I should join them later, I felt sad, angry and lonely. Usually I would be very happy to help my three good friends with everything, but than I didn´t have any motivation to work more with expedition stuff. I almost got a bit angry when the girls wrote me from the sat.phone long list that I needed to fix or buy or to sort out in a way. And that feels weird, because I really want the best for them. I think I have managed to fix the most, except to get some more economical sponsor deals... 

It has been a great month on Svalbard. I have enjoyed to go on trips with friends, to work with dogs and to teach at the school. It wouldn´t be bad to have some more weeks to train, but I feel ready to go now. The body is working as it should and I´m eager to start pulling my sledge! 

After two very hectic days in Oslo, I´m looking forward to leave the country and the spring, to get back to the winter in the arctic!
