Frostrósir
Þú komst til að kveðja í gær.
Þú kvaddir og allt varð svo hljótt.
Á glugganum frostrósin grær.
Ég gat ekkert sofið í nótt.
Hvert andvarp frá einmana sál,
hvert orð sem var myndað án hljóms
nú greindist sem gaddfreðið mál
í gervi hins lífvana blóms.
En stormurinn brýst inn í bæ
með brimgný frá klettóttri strönd,
því reiðum og rjúkandi sæ
hann réttir oft ögrandi hönd.
Því krýp ég og bæn mína bið,
þá bæn sem í hjartanu er skráð.
Ó, þyrmdu honum, gefðu honum grið.
Hver gæti mér orð þessi láð?
Icelandic pine
I didn't think so.

Sign
Where to go from here. OK. Some memories of long forgotten days...
Good morning, could I have this shirt cleaned express, please?
Yes, that’ll be three weeks, dearie.
Three weeks? But the sign outside says 59-minute cleaners.
Yes, that’s just the name of the shop, luv. We take three weeks to do a shirt
Just the name of the shop?
Yes, that’s if there’s an R in the month. Otherwise it’s four weeks. Your name does begin with a P, doesn’t it?
Well, no, actually, of course it’s, uh...
Well, that’ll be five weeks, then.
Five weeks? Blimey.
Blokker gets it
I and j capitalize as Ij

Right half of the rainbow
And the right half of the rainbow over Reitdiep. The photo shows a second rainbow above this rainbow. It's a very faint ring which I didn't see while I took the picture.
Rainbow left
The left half of the rainbow over Reitdiep. Actually, the photo shows a second rainbow above this rainbow.
