Yes, it has been a while... so we will start from my first night and week back in the Krók... Freyja... happy and eating - well sort of.  Had to change her dry food out as she was not happy with the pedigree stuff.... I think here she is saying - the food at Árni's was better....

 There was still snow in the hood when we came home... it was worse to the north and for a while there most were very concerned for the farmers and their lambs..  Luckily I can now say that summer has arrived and the worst was overcome.  However, there are many farmers that have had to plow their paddocks and re-seed so that they have a chance of having hay this autumn.

 had a bit of a get together here...

 Óli and Bjössi discussing the issues of the day.

 Then in other news - there is the small boat harbour.... my little pride and joy and one of the only things that I will really be proud about from my time in local council...  it will be amazing.

 these are from the early bits of construction - retaining walls being built.

 We have also been busy in the garden.. Árni has been really busy fixing things up..

 This is my new place of work -well this summer anyway.  I work here from 1pm to 7pm - tourist information and curator of an exhibition of local artisans...  I really really really like working here.

 more harbour.

 then there is the seamans festival... twas a good night.  - they look dour but they really are a friendly bunch

 and they play instruments

 and then there were speeches....

 and the next day we ended up taking three Brits to Drangey... I don't need to tell you that I didn't go up this time.

 I stayed and watched the birds

 and then we went home.... Kerlinginn... looking good

 Bjössi, Helgi Rafn and Árni entertaining Brit númeró eins... the head honcho (he buys fish from fisk seafood)

 the harbour starting to take form

 the first quays in place

 bringing in the old quay that will be used by the sailing club

 docking

 cakes and fruit salad... nothing can be better than that!

 So good - taking cakes to all..

 the dock

 the big dock in place.

 am very happy with my little harbour

peaceful and nice..... sometimes progress is ok.

Well, what can I say...   summer has finally arrived.  Had an amazing weekend - Hofsós mid summer festival Friday and Saturday night - working from 1pm on Sat and Sunday at the museum - so it was pretty full on - and so now finally on Monday night I am chilling and am going to go to bed a little earlier than in the last few days!

Mum is off on a trip to the east coast.  Here in Iceland there is a special fund for women that have worked in the home... it's a subsidised holiday, all organised and all inclusive and doesn't cost much.  My aunt Guja is going as well... I am sure that they will have a wonderful time - the weather is supposed to be better on the east coast for the next few days.

Next Saturday we are having a family gathering here in my garden, we are expecting some of the cousins from Reykjavik and Akureyri - am sure it will be wonderful.  On Sunday the small boat harbour will be officially opened.  Hopefully it won't be two months before i post about that.

Till then love and hugs to you all and especially Nicko and Mary on their engagement!!! xoxoxo
