Fundraising Choir and Dinner with Friends
[Photos from 01 April 2017, posted online 01 JULY 2017. Three months behind now. Is catching up even doable?!]
Bjarki’s been singing with the school choir this year, mostly because the practices happen to fall on school time, and one of his bests friends is in it too.
For the past three years the choir has joined with other choirs, conducted by the same conductor, to perform as one to fund a charity.
This year the charity concert was held in a church in the Grafarvogur suburb of Reykjavík, and it was very nice.
After the concert, Bjarki and I visited a new coffee house, and then we all drove to our friends Ragnar and Agnes where we ate dinner. (17 images and 1 video total)
Looking at the combined choir, and a small portion of the audience.
Back to the beginning. This is the outside of the church.
The entrance to the church.
The large stained glass window is very pretty.
The guest singer this time was Salka Sól, who sang a couple of songs.
We met some friendly and familiar faces on the way out.
Coffee house time! This is the new Kaffitár Kruðerí close by Grafarvogur.
Comfy bench, but it turned out most of the the electrical sockets underneath didn’t really work!
There’s even a kiddie room!!

Later that day we visited Ragnar and Agnes in Reykjanesbær. The younger kids happily hopped into the hot tub, while…
… the “I’m too old for this” teenagers hung out indoors.
Is spring here yet?
These two get along very well.
Agnes assembling a salad, while…
… Finnur sauced.
The chaos of kids eating. We routinely have them eat before we do, and then sedate them with screens while we eat in peace and quiet.
Soooo good!!!
