Finally weekend

...enough time for all the things you'd like to do and of course time to relax. Well, that was the plan, but as usual, our weekend was as busy as our week was. Anyway, the weather at least today was far too good to stay inside and do nothing.
Friday started with a very nice staffmeeting before going to the stable. Afterwards we went to meet a friend, who had invited us for a chat and a beertasting... Great evening, which ended with a refreshing walk home through town. 
Saturday was used to take care of a few things at home, defrost some 16kg of filet of mutton, which will be put to use later, go to the stable, care for the horses and go back home rather early due to increasing snowfall and the fact that we were invited for dinner. We had a very nice evening, which we enjoyed a lot. Good talks and delicious food.
Today started with finally delivering a bracelet, which was ordered as a memory charm quite some time ago. Then the horses needed some attention and we went to Ísólfsstaðir to meet Laufey and Óli there as they were transferring their horses to the big pasture. Our horses were far away from the gate and weren't getting ready to move at all. So we had a look into the sheepstable, talked to Joel and his wife, clapped a few sheep and admired his rams. Afterwards we took a walk to our horses and made them walk with us up to the gate and meet the newcomers. There was no action at all, it was like they already knew each other very well. Hope it will stay that way. 
Back home we grabbed the meat and after putting the horses outside and transferring Prímus to the big meadow at the seaside, we checked out the horses at Hagi and then went to Hólmavað, where we prepared the meat for smoking. Today we salted and vacuumpacked it and after 10 days in the fridge it will be smoked by Bensi. The aim is to make a kind of dry-cured lightly smoked filet, which fits perfectly as a snack or cold cuts. All in all we are preparing 32 filets and hope to get a result as good as last year. We'll keep you up to date on our project.
