This and that

Just a few words so you see we are not disappeared, but busy outside in the good weather!
You may ask yourself: what the hell are they doing all day long?
Well, in fact there are a lot of things to do (except going for a ride). We went to find some driftwood to build a shelter for Magnús' horses. Not so easy to find the right pieces and some of them were really heavy. Would be good to have a chainsaw, then we could cut those that are far too long to the right size.
Mærudagar, the sweet days, are on the calender soon and people start to think about their decoration. We are in the orange quarters and have decided to decorate with orange flowers (well, in fact I'm not much for decorating and putting all kind of orange stuff outside, which you have to take down again). So we went to Hveravellir and bought a few more flowers for the garden. There they do not only breed summerflowers but a lot of vegetables. Most of the tomatoes and cucumbers you get here come from there. We used the opportunity to buy some really ripe tomatoes, just fresh picked. They were delicious, just the way real tomatoes should be.
From Hveravellir we took a drive to Laxádalur to have a look at Perla, who is in the fence with Djákni frá Hellulandi, and visit Sigtýr and his friend. The first attempt to go closer to the two youngsters failed completely and the fleed to the other end of the fence. We followed and when we walked at them again we came across a lamb that had caught itself in barbed wire and was stuck. The wire was wrapped completely in the thick wool and there was no chance to loose it. So Ingólfur went back to the car to get a knife and cut the wool off. Not as easy as it sounds and we were really worried the lamb would die out of stress. Well, finally we got it loose, it jumped on the feet and walked away, calling its mum. 
After having a quick dinner we went for a ride. I was on Amor for the first time this year. He is already 19 years old, far too fat, but still behaving like a 5 year old when you ride him for the first time a year. At least he has learned to wait for me to be ready to go. Good feeling to be back on him! 
We went to Saltvík to shoe 2 horses for Bjössi. That went well and after riding back to our summerfence we had a look at Farsæll and his mares (we check them at least twice a day). Everything was peaceful there, the horses just laying and relaxing under the midnightsun. 
When we came home it was already 0.30... So you can see, we are busy the whole day (and part of the night) outside!
