There is no cure for laziness but a large family helps. ~Herbert Prochnov

I looked everywhere for a quote about a big brother - seems that none exist.. Strange that, lots about younger brothers, sisters the lot, but not big bro. Anyway my big brother is a great guy - he is here at the moment putting new frontage on mum's place. He had already changed the windows a few years back and now for the finale. So here are a few photos from this weekends work effort (he also had help from my nephew - his son - Maggi - the best TA ever)
but before we get picture from the house here are some from our walk to Glerhallavík (Glass cave bay)

the walk out there is quite difficult in that it is very rocky - basically the shore line along a coast that has high muddy cliffs full of rocks ready to fall down on you

At the end there is this wonderful little water fall

and this great little bay. The reason why it is called Glass cave bay is because of the quartz rocks that are in the shore, apparently they are covered in basalt but because they are rolled around in the shore the bassalt comes of and what you have are lovely little white rocks

if you increase the size you can see three big examples...

The bay is just near Reykir, which is near the island of Drangey.

Now for some shots from the house:

Day one, side bit done

half the front finished


Tonight, almost all done, they have done a brilliant job.

PS I mowed the lawn for the third time this summer! also cleared out one room in the cellar. - Depending on the ambient temp - it will be where I start my attempt at home made wines.... hey its a depression.
