The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize. ~Shigeo Shingo

My life is totally centralised around waste and taxes at the moment... to most not the most riveting of things.  To me - a challenge, that I have to face every day.


Today I met with some folk from down south and the vet in charge of the North of Iceland to discuss future waste disposal of category 1, 2 and 3 waste.  Yep, I can see you falling asleep.  It was an interesting meeting that left us in the same place as we were yesterday, but with a bit of a better feel regarding what future regulations would have in place.


Tomorrow is a meeting with the local health inspector - again to discuss waste management... 


In between I will be doing tax returns... Oh joy!  


The highlight of the day was that we had foal curry for dinner and cousin Herdís joined us tonight.. Always good to see her as she has so many ideas for increasing options for tourists visiting our area.  She is so full of drive and new ideas and I know that she will follow them  though.  We are lucky here in this fjord to have people like her with drive and foresight to make changes and develop new ideas.  We take so much for granted here, for instance the number of birds that come here and nest in the summer is extraordinary, it is a bird watchers paradise - do we advertise this - no - why? because for us the birds are always here every summer and so no big deal... for bird watchers it is a big deal.. The idea of a bird watcher is also something that is not really a known phenomenon in Iceland... why watch birds... they are there - well at least at certain times of year - they are just a part of our normal environment.  Yep we have a lot to learn and we do need to grasp the opportunities that are right here, in front of us, so obvious, we just don't see them.


In other news,  I am going to the annual fest of the people that go to the local gym... talk about a fish out of water..... Sundays blog may actually  be interesting.. till then we still have thursday, friday and saturday.... Thankfully March will end next week...... (actually that is not such a good thing - I have a heap of tax returns to do....)
