[Photos taken 01 – 06 October 2023. Posted online 09 June 2024. The winds have finally calmed down a bit, and the weather is gorgeous. Do we dare plant summer flowers outside? Also, I tore up my sprained-back again on Thursday, while innocently leaning forward to wash my hands, after perhaps doing too much physical stuff earlier that day. Grumble.<\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dear cousin asked me to photograph her wedding on the first day of October, and after giving my usual spiel of “I’m not a professional by any measure, I don’t really do any post-processing, but I’ll do my best” I went to gather my collection of camera-stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still using the (then) 10-year-old Canon 70D<\/a> as my “big” camera, and I now have three Canon L-lenses (1: 17-40mm f4, 2: 70-200mm f4, and 3: 100 mm f2.8), all of which I used on the day. However, I will admit that the loud shutter-noise in the quiet church had me wishing for a mirrorless camera, but I’ve yet to work up the courage to go there…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wedding day was wonderful, and left us all with big smiles. Congratulations dear cousin and spouse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, the garbage bin shed floor\/deck was finally finalized, and we could start working on the walls. I tried to keep moving even though my shoulder was in loud-protest-mode, and Bjarki went in for wrist-surgery to remove a ganglion cyst<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, life resumed as normal. Finnur cut the wood, and I screwed it, and slowly but surely the garbage bin shed floor was born.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Remnants of a veggie garden. The broccoli was doing just fine a box over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

The gym celebrated surviving 25 years by creating ads that were inspired by works of the “old masters”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Lunch arriving at work. We would put in an order from a menu of 4-5 options per day for the entire following week on a Thursday or Friday, and then at lunchtime every day a person would show up with deliveries from the various restaurants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

With my shoulder still banged up, I went for a walk during Emma’s piano lesson. This time I ventured into the neighborhood behind the music school, and was mildly shocked when a horse and rider appeared in the street in front of me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Unexpected architecture!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Pretty pretty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

The lake is somewhat artificial, there’s a dam that’s keeping a lot of the water in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Found a duck or two.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

The subscription-fruit box I picked up from the fancy cooler looked particularly tasty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

I was trying to not go crazy from the lack of lifting heavy things, and went out for another jog during another music lesson.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Lovely path!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

A break at the weekly (contact) bridge course. Looking at art being displayed on the walls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

I finally realized why the art looked somewhat familiar… it’s by the mother of a good friend!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Bjarki about to head into wrist surgery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

He’d developed a ganglion cyst<\/a> in his wrist a long time ago, which was reducing his mobility, and causing him pain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Prepping the addition of walls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

The magic of “socialized medicine”: I have psoriasis, which was getting worse and worse with every passing year. Some three years ago I was approved to start getting the “biologic” drug adalimumab<\/a>, and it’s almost entirely wiped out the (visible) psoriasis. Although the drug is not as expensive as it was, it’s still about $1500 per 3 months, which is fully paid (well, aside from $15 or so) by the governmental health insurance that’s included in our taxes. Yay!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
