There is an itch in runners. ~Arnold Hano

At long last another post, last weekend was spent at an athletics carnival being held here in the hook. Maggi and I divied up the days so that we weren´t both hanging around down there waiting to put results into the computer. The event was a Young persons sporting carnival and included not only athletics but also football, horseriding, swimming, Icelandic wrestling, chess and golf. There were 1500 participants from all around Iceland. As the competitors were aged from 11 to 18 there were a lot of parents and other support people with them, which meant that the population of the town increased almost 5 fold.

This was our hang out - two extremely slow computers, we entered results in both and had to wait at least 4 minutes between each row of entries for it to save so we could move on to the next bit.... talk about frustrating!!

This is the track in town - if you increase the size you can see some of the caravan tent village that was up on the paddocks above town.

They are still filming Rokland, so they set up the cemetary scene outside the real cemetary again. (They filmed there in winter as well)

The old campsite was converted into a information - entertainment area. The weekend was jam packed with different events and fun stuff for all the family. It ended with a huge fireworks display that lasted over 15 minutes - yeh - they say we are in a recession....

In other news .... work is good, life is good, dog is good - economy is still crapping itself and our politicians still really don´t know what to do.
