This afternoon I flew to Iceland, and after having mom’s great lasagne I feel this aaaaah feeling that I’m back home. Despite a slight hungover (we had an Icelandic lamb feast at my place yesterday) the trip was fine. My neighbor on the plane was a little bit too talkative (and ruined my chances of getting any knitting done, what’s up with these people?), but I just went to sleep to solve that problem.
I haven’t been feeling like talking lately, which is the reason for the blog silence, but next week I’ll surely have too much to say. I’m on vacation with nothing to do except knitting and, well, the thousand things I’ve written down I should do/buy/see while in Iceland.
Tomorrow morning I’m taking a bus to the north. We have this farm in a valley in north-Iceland (we’re not farmers though, it’s an inheritance from my grandparents) and my brother is there with his wife and cute kids. I’m staying there until monday, outside of the civilized internetisized world so I wish you all the greatest weekend! Yay! I’m going to The Nature! More exlamation points!!
I hope that you have a great weekend!
We just found out that we’re moving to Kaiserslautern, Germany, which I don’t think is very close to you. However, we’ll be there within two months, so if you’re ever in the area, we should meet! =)

I hope you are enjoying your time in Iceland. The knitting and “farm in the north” part sounds like wonderful relaxing holidays. I’m looking forward to your report (pictures?) Góða helgi!

Hlakka til að sjá þig, sæta!
Faith: My husband (boyfriend back then) lived in Kaiserslautern, while he was learning to be a carpenter. What are you going to do there?
…I’m one of the talkative ones!!! ;)

hello islanddinka (i probably spelled that incorrectly, but that was my impression while in iceland of the *sound* of the word):
i now know how lucky you are to have iceland as your home!
i was just in iceland visiting your brother, and i wish i had stayed longer! we had so much fun out in the wilderness (we went to the glacier that begins with L) and we also enjoyed reykjavik. we went to halldor’s friend’s yearly bbq, and i understand why you’re hungover, because my glass just kept getting filled with random stuff.
i need to make a yearly trip to iceland, i think… :)
