I can't wait to see the pics.

My camera has gone to camera heaven. So there won't be any new pics before Christmas, when I hope someone has the sense to give me a new one.

PS: I prefer to be called Inger Anne. I am used to be called many things, but I never get used to be called just Inger.

Oh I am sorry about the camera.
And sorry about the name too, I meant no disrespect.
I will make sure to remember that.

I know you didn't, and I didn't feel any disrespect either. I know it's confusing with two names without a - in between.

Is Inger Anne your first name, or is it both your family name and first name? (I'm just curious). I did a little reading, and it seems as though non-hyphenated names are somewhat common in Norway. Is this correct?

Inger Anne is my first name. My family name is Pedersen (the 7th most common family name in Norway). Yes, you're right that non-hyphenated names (I had to dig deep into my dictionary to understand what you meant ) are common. It's a bit confusing though, as you never know if non-hyphenated names means that the person likes to be called with both names or only one of them. I use both. There's supposed to be a small difference in how you pronounce hyphenated/non-hyphenated names, but in reality there isn't.

Heh, cool.
