A small campfire and "bread of leaf"

It was last weekend. The weather was just great on Saturday. HK had been asked to lit a campsmall fire in the Reykjavik forest area called Heidmörk if someone is interesting or what. We had some problems with the fire but with some help we managed and we had this good fire. Later came a woman reading from her book for some children but it was actually a part of some Chrismas acviviti.

But not time for more writing now. I gotta go!

And yes.. this is the "bread of leaf"... laufabrauð sko

The health effort

There has been a health effort where I work for last several weeks. I was doing well in the beginning but later on I had too much to do in my work and had no time for running or any exercises at all. But this lunch time I finally went to the gym and even to the scary scale they have there. I was expecting some bad new but it was better than I had in my wildest dreams. More than 1 kg off since the last time I was there. Perhaps it’s just best to do nothing!

The wind

There was such a heavy wind last night I just thought everything would blow away. In the middle of night I woke up from some sound I heard. There was an open window and the wind was coming inside. I closed all the windows and had to go outside and check if something was really going wrong. Nothing serious happened but the trash cans outside had fell down. I just put them on safer place and went to sleep again.

The weather was nice in the morning!

The tiny house in the tiny forest...

The main plan was to check if the house still existed. If the strong wind had blown it away or the mice had eaten it. Happily enough neither had happened. The first problem was to get in to the house since the door seemed to be totally stick fast but after some struggle we were able to open tod door. The door is actually brand new from last summer and my brother the door carpenter was with me.

First I didn’s see any sign of a mouse there but after couple of minutes I did actually find some shit from a mouse and hpfhphhh I did find the first dead one or rather what was left of it. Only a tiny piece of a dead one. I just throw it away. After some chocolate, one bear and some whiskey HK gave me we went to sleep in the house.

It was a great cold Icelandic night. While we were sitting outside I was wearing my wool underwear, one of my great thick woollen sweater with the greatest turtle neck you can imagine and a thick down coat (or should I say parka). Almost the same clothing while sleeping. Well actually not wearing the coat but as a substitute there came the sleeping bag for -30°C or something. The heavy woollen sweater was used as a pillow.

And there came a morning. A great one. The photo above is from that morning. Great one so extremely beautiful. It was just eight something in the morning. I had to go outside and pie. The moon was there and the star Venus and the mountain Burfell and just me. Soon enough my camera joined us and I did the above photo with the aid of my tripod.

Later in the morning or in the lunch time (actually I just went to sleep again and we both was sleeping to 11 something in the daytime) we did find the second mouse. A big one, not eaten but totally dead. It was something like this one:

... well actually it was some days ago to be precise!
