School Visits and Late Evening Bike Ride
This has been a busy day. Anna’s class had a ‘variety show’ during lunch time, then Bjarki’s daycare had an ‘open house’ in the afternoon, after which a friend of his came over for a play-date. In the evening I decided to make use of the first semi-warm, still, and cloud-free day for a long while and go out for a bike ride.
Anna and three classmates introducing themselves before performing a short play/comedy skit. Anna also played a couple of short songs on the piano. All the kids did really well and it was a fun variety show.
Finnur playing ball with three boys at daycare at the same time!
Bjarki’s artwork from earlier this winter. He was in a ‘theater’ group, so the picture is pretty dramatic.
Documentation of the theater group. They went and visited the National Theater, and later put on their own play.
Emma fell asleep (apparently for the night?) at 9 pm, so I used the opportunity to hop out on a bike ride.
A warm-water run-off stream from near-by houses. There’s a golf course a little further off. The vegetation is slowly waking up from its winter sleep, there are spots of green here and there among the yellows.
There’s a lake in our backyard!
Just a regular old stream running into the lake, and the sun setting veeeery slowly at 21:43.
My bike next to an information sign. There were quite a few fishermen out on the lake. The path around the lake is 2.6 km long, and is perfect for walking/jogging/biking.
The info-sign.
It took me a good long while to bike up the hill overlooking the lake, and the studded tires didn’t help on the paved road.
Back to civilization.
One nice thing about this ride was that the last little bit was all downhill! 🙂 This photo is taken at 22:18 and the ground is quite a bit darker than it should be because I wanted to get the sky-colors.
I did learn one new thing on my bike-ride: Horses hate bikes. If you happen to cross paths with people riding horses, dismount the bike, and stand very still while the horses pass by.
