I've been inwards Republic of Iceland for 4 weeks at i time (which seems impossible) , but haven't blogged my daily adventures , similar I direct maintain done over the terminal few months. Most days would become something similar "I woke upwardly , faffed roughly inwards my studio for vi hours , collected objects from the beach , watched an episode of The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau and went to bed." It wouldn't brand the most riveting of journals , but that doesn't hateful it isn't magical.
I'm currently living inwards the due north of Republic of Iceland , inwards a pocket-size town on a pointy peninsula. We're hitting daily past times intense , buffeting winds coming from the arctic , together with our studio plays host to some local stray cats (we've semi-adopted one). Everybody inwards the town knows everybody else. There's a primary schoolhouse , a space-age-looking church building , a thriving line-fishing manufacture , a mountain , a museum of fortune telling together with a pocket-size pool. I had my fortune told past times the local prophetess the twenty-four hours I arrived , together with she had (mostly) practiced things to say.
On days when it's specially windy , the local children are instructed to crawl habitation thence that they're non blown away past times the potent winds. This is a existent thing. The principal street - where most houses together with the schoolhouse are located - is alone near 1km long , but I don't envy those who direct maintain to crawl their entire agency home.
While things had been tranquility , I had been busily working away , together with lay this spider web log on the backburner. This forenoon I woke early on , reading to explore the magical photos we'd taken of puffins inwards Vik , Skogarfoss , Skaftafell... together with my SD carte du jour had completely crashed.
I'd backed upwardly some pictures , but goose egg taken afterwards nosotros were inwards the Cairngorms inwards Scotland. My tum dropped. I felt ill. I fretted together with fretted together with frantically messaged Nicholas (who is at i time dorsum inwards Melbourne working away together with edifice things for the Christmas season) who thinks he might be able to restore them amongst a figurer program. Let this last a lesson inwards backing upwardly your files. Regularly. (In the meantime , y'all tin lav run across some of our Icelandic adventures here , here , here together with here)
On a to a greater extent than pleasant Federal Reserve annotation , nosotros had a bonfire 2 nights agone , afterwards listening to our town choir. Many artists are leaving this calendar month , thence nosotros educate off downward the beach , lugging pieces of driftwood amongst us , together with sat roughly the dismiss drinking until late. We wrapped some potatoes inwards aluminium foil , drank thence many beers nosotros almost forgot near them , thence forced downward some potato-shaped pieces of charcoal.
