The weather has been nice, with no rain for a couple of weeks, and people have been outside all over the town doing repair work and maintenance - fixing houses, cars, bridges, boats, gardens. Since I am retired, I enjoy taking pictures of other people working.
I always enjoy the spring gardens in Fuglafjørður. This time of year, many colorful bulbs are blooming. I have noticed that a lot of the plants are very similar to those in the San Francisco bay area, where I am from. I think it is interesting that their “Easter Lily” is our daffodil. We have a different lily that we call an Easter Lily.
As always, I enjoy the views of the bay and the mountains. As I was sitting here looking out of my window, a six-man row boat passed my house. They are preparing for upcoming races in several towns in the Faroe Islands.
During the past weekend I was able to participate in the vocal workshop with the Gøta-Leirvík Choir. I sang with them for their Christmas concert, and I was also with them two years ago

Long day here, and somehow viewing these at the end of it was just the thing, most relaxing even though the first set was of people working! Loved the flowers and I’ll show them to my wife tonight; she’s quite the gardener.

Yeah! Glad to see you’re back in the Faroes. I’m excited to see more pictures and hear more stories.
