Happiness, do you have it


Just watch an other episode of Vikings and I must say I do find somethings quite amazing. The commutes between Denmark and England on a small boat with one sail and no real navigation equipment, does stretch the imagination slightly. That cripple son of Ragnar Lothbrok, is pure evil and I must admit too wanting him slayed.

Now Lagertha on the other hand deserves a long and fruitful reign, while Rollo is the cleverest of the whole bunch. Marries a rich daughter of the Franks (French) and lives the dream. Bjorn Ironside is a quiet guy who is following his dreams, forget the wife and mistress he has left behind, he is fixated on travel. I must admit Vikings must be taken in small doses, violent and depressing on the whole but a little addictive.

Talking of Denmark, they only came 3rd in the happiness table. Some scored lower but we will not dwell on that.
