You see I am useless at this blogging thing so instead am providing a link to youtube. Tonight I took mum to a concert in Varmahlíð - it was the Icelandic Frostroses. They were brilliant, to help were Friðrik Ómar (a pop singer of the gay variety) and Garðar Cortes (a tenor of the operatic variety).. The female singers were Guðrún Gunnarsdóttir, Hera Björk and Margrét Eir.
is a link to the news report about them taking the show on the road. You see usually this concert is only ever in Reykjavík and then broadcast to the nation on Christmas eve, this year they decided to go live and let the country bumpkins have a chance to hear them live. There were three shows here in the fjord - all sold out - I think that there were over 400 people each night so considering the fact that the population of the fjord is around 3.000 - it means that half the fjord went to see them.... Pretty good turn out I would say.
It was actually quite moving at times, I am such a sook for Christmas..
Had to share.

Hard to believe no snow... that is amazing! Here in California we even have snow in the bay area (near San Francisco!) 28F degrees here this morning - brrrrrrr.
I know - it is so strange as it is actually quite warm this evening, a little drizzle and no wind. Am so hoping that the temps will drop and we have some snow by Christmas.
What would you call 'a little warm'....
