Jogs, Jazz, and Jitters

2016-07-21Us Standard

[Photos from 21-23 July 2016, posted online 10 September 2016. Back at the coffee house I like to blog in. Need a coffee house closer to home!]

After we returned from Sweden, we lay low for a little bit. I went out for a couple of slow jogs, a friend dragged us (in a good way) to a jazz concert downtown, and uh, then there was more jogging!

Be warned that the image for Friday 22 has a close up on a small wound on Emma’s face, that she got when she fell face-first on the edge of a table. :/ (18 images total)

p.s. I rearranged the blog posts into the order they happened, as I was getting confused.

Was feeling jittery so I went out for a jog. Warmed up by walking up to the stupa, where somebody had left flowers.

Working on perfecting the “looking somewhere else” selfie!

Anna had gone out ahead of me to hunt Pokemons! Yes, that's her in the orange jacket, walking along the spankin' new path that's being built alongside the spankin' new road up on the hill.

Yay, I made it to the lake!

My turn-around-to-go-back-home point was the gazebo by the lake. Here’s the run on Strava.

It’s a cute lake!

Nice running path going back.

After an evening trip to the swimming pool (open until 10 pm), I ended up meeting a friend at a coffee house in Hafnarfjörður, of all places!

This day will go down in history as the day Emma was dancing adorably in the living room, when she lost her balance and fell, face first, on our coffee table. She got a small cut by her mouth, which seems to have healed ok now, but she'll be scarred for life!

This day will go down in history as the day Emma was dancing adorably in the living room shortly before bedtime, when she lost her balance and fell, face first, on our coffee table. She got a small cut by her mouth, which seems to have healed ok now, but she’ll be scarred for life. Life can be so harsh!

Adda dragged me downtown to attend a free jazz concert.

We arrived a bit late, and all the obvious seats were taken.

Adda is a master chair hunter, and soon we had seats by a table of people she knew.

Margrét Eir sang jazzy songs from musicals, and did it well! Adda is there in the green jacket.

The big kids had been hunting pokemons downtown, but when we attempted to sit down at a cafe, everything was full. We decided to drive to Borgartún ("The financial district"), and hung out there for a bit.

Again I went out for a slow jog, this time around the golf course further up the hill from our house.

Golf-y flatness visible through the trees.

I was there!
