The toll will go up, of course. Apparently the perpetrator is a home-grown terrorist who was dressed in a police uniform, who detonated the bomb in the City center and then drove to the island to wreak his havoc there. The pictures reminded me graphically of the Oklahoma City bombing some fifteen or so years ago. Poor Norwegians. Everybody is taking their turn, USA, Spain, Russia, Great Britain. I am shocked again just now, 11:00 pm. Another flash. Norway Police are now saying that eighty people have been killed in the youth camp on the island. I am totally shocked.
The gossip here tonight is about Tom and Loretta. Tom lives on our floor and Loretta went into his apartment two nights ago and stayed for some time. I have no idea why she was there. Possibly to discuss the Book of Moses or have high tea. Loretta is black (diversity is terrific until it hits the second floor here) and Tom is not. Last week they were all talking about Tom and how he just isn't the man he was and his faculties are weakening, and he's opinionated. Decided they didn't like him much.
All the old lady wags had their say ("No fool like an old fool..." ) Tonight they believe Loretta went in to rob him and they are going to tell him how to handle things so Loretta can be asked to leave as a tenant. Laughing all the way, I told them they were all jealous, Tom was getting sex and they weren't. Then I walked away before they could start in on me. I will be the villain tomorrow and then I will have something to gossip about with Mabel. We both keep fighting fit laughing at everybody else. Ta!
