Starting our Sunday drive and the phone rings. Now it rings when I can answer. Pálmi is driving. This is Gummi phoning from Germany. He says I need a translator. Will you talk to our chauffeur. He does not speak English. Will you tell him that we need flour. He gave the phone to the driver and he said hello. I was not sure if I remembered what flour was in German. Now I have not spoke it for some time and I felt rusty. It usually all comes back in one day when I am in Germany but I said to the man I think the word they are trying to say is mehl , they need mehl. That is flour in German and I was right.You know that is used for baking I said to the man. He understood what the boys wanted and I never asked Gummi why they needed flour. Gummi said that the man had not believed him at first when he gave him the phone and said that his mother was on the line lol He said they had 30C or 86F when we had about 50F 10 C, They were going to play that night on a festival there and they played just before the most famous band was on. He is coming home today.
We went on our tour. We stopped in a small wood and the children had fun This wood is in our town.
Fairy girl Freyja in the wood.
Daria always busy.
The kids were happy when we saw a rabbit, He tried to hide from me. There are some rabbits living in this area. Some one turned rabbits loose there about 30 or 40 years ago and they live wild there.
Got you
This is where the kids wanted to go originally. To the beach they said so we went to the beach in Reykjavík.
Here they let hot water run into the sea, so it is a bit warmer to swim there. When I was a kid we sometimes swam in the cold sea. Then for years there was nothing here. They had polluted the sea with something they let out there in pipes but they cleaned that up years ago now.
This is filled with warm water in the summers.
In the summers there is warm water here.
They are still here and used to be a bit prettier. They are since the war. This is very near to Reykjavík airport which was build during world war 2 by the British. I remember when those nissa huts were used as changing cabins for the beach. That was years ago. When I used to go swimming in the sea. I was 11.
I was using two cameras and when I came home I started uploading my pictures to my computer. The pictures from the little camera came out alright but I had trouble loading the others. Then when I looked at them they were videos. Bad videos without sound. I had tuned the camera wrongly without noticing it. Here is one.
