Sweden's highest mountain

Don't bother travelling to Lappland if you want to see some really high peaks - just come over to my laundry room, where I am currently attempting to break the world record for "highest pile of washed, but not yet folded towels created by a human".

I maybe could (or should?) have stopped with the madness a long time ago, but it has become a sport. Adding ever more towels to the pile is like playing Jenga and Tetris all at the same time: find the free spot, make the towel fit and then gently, gently easy it into place. It's a challenge, it's a thrill - it's better than actually folding them and getting them out of the way. Where's the fun in that?
