Anna’s FG Graduation & e-Biking Njarðvíkurheiði
[Photos taken 28 – 31 May 2022, posted online 18 December 2022. After endless frosty days, we finally have snow… all the snow!]
After three years at FG (Fjölbrautaskólinn í Garðabæ), Anna graduated/matriculated with her “student’s diploma”, allowing her to enter university. She did a really good job, especially in light of the whole covid-situation, and months and month of remote learning and zero socialization.
We attended the graduation ceremony, and then we received family and friends in one of the houses at Árbæjarsafn, aka the “old houses museum. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and almost capped off one of the most insanely busy months in recent memory!
The last ‘event’ of this May-Mayhem was an e-bike ride out on Njarðvíkurheiði, by the international airport. And with that, May finally came to a close! (80-ish images total)

May-Mayhem: Sunny Days, Party-Prep & e-Biking Norðurárdalur
[Photos taken 21 – 27 May 2022, posted online 11 December 2022. Finnur’s on his way to the UK for a work-trip, I’m in charge of the fort.]
The weather took a turn for the absolutely gorgeous, and I kept not using it to oil all the wood. Other garden work happened, an injured Emma cheered on her team at a gymnastics meet, we attended a graduation party, while preparing for our own graduation party, and I went on a 42 km e-bike ride up by Mount Baula.

May-Mayhem: Backyard E-biking, Eyrarfjall-hike & Sarah Millican
[Photos taken 16 – 20 May 2022, posted online 04 December 2022. I seem to have really fallen off the blog-train, keep wondering if it’s time to just lock the page…?]
The week kept up seemingly non-stop May action. I kept biking to work, as the weather kept being awesome. On the Monday I biked 24 km with the e-biking group in my “backyard”, Tuesday saw me couch-shopping, Wednesday was a mountain-hike, Thursday was dinner-and-a-comedy-show, and by Friday I realized I was horribly sleep-deprived. What else is new? (50-ish images total)

May-Mayhem: E-biking Lundarreykjadalur & Eyrarfjall, Recitals & Scotland-Soccer
[Photos taken 08 – 15 May 2022, posted online 20 November 2022. I fell in to serious TV-binge mode this weekend, been a long while since the last one. I’m in denial about Christmas being around the corner.]
The madness that was May continued with two e-bike rides in one week, two music school recitals, trying to figure out what to do about Emma’s somewhat injured foot, a bike-to-work challenge, rushing to clear the yard of leaves and branches, and Finnur traveling to Scotland to play in a soccer tournament (“old boys” division).

May-Mayhem: Gardening, e-Biking, Trevor Noah, Music & Friends!
[Photos taken 01 – 07 May 2022, posted online 13 November 2022. I see that there have been no posts since September! Well, October was do-all-the-things-at-home while I was between jobs, and my photo-time was spent assembling the annual photo-calendar. I’ve now started my new job at Controlant, and life’s settling into a more regular rhythm. Also, quite frankly, May was insane, and there have been a lot of photos to plough through…!]
May was very, very busy! In this first week we got some gardening done, I joined an e-bike trip around Reykjavik, there was an event at work, two kids saw the dentist, nature got a quick visit, I went to see Trevor Noah, attended an orchestra concert, and then had dinner with friends!
Yes, the rest of May pretty much kept up that pace! Eeek! (40-ish images total)
