SRI at Home’s web­mas­ter, Chris­t­ian, is cur­rently on pater­nity leave from his dayjob in Nor­way, and is spend­ing a few months at home with his ten month old daugh­ter, Ella. (Nor­we­gian par­ents get 10 to 12 months of paid leave, usu­ally split about 80–20 between the mother and the father.)

Ella is happy to have her dad at home with her.

Caught a bit off-​​guard by how much work it is stay­ing at home with a small child who needs con­stant atten­tion and/​or enter­tain­ment, he hasn’t been able to keep up with his cor­re­spon­dence. He has dis­cov­ered, how­ever, that being forced to take long, daily walks in sunny autumn days is an excel­lent cure for being stressed and overweight.
