Jennifer sent me a few excellent photos of her holiday in Iceland last week with Russell, Josh and Ben. It looks fantastic and I would love to spend time there. We had a one night stopover there in July 2015 on our way to America, when we went to the Blue Lagoon and strolled around Reykjavik, but I would love to return for a longer holiday. There seems to be lots of walking and activities and Jennifer mentioned the “Golden Circle tour” which she says is spectacular.
I noticed that in one of the photos Russell was wearing a t shirt with a slogan on it; “Surely not everyone was Kung Fu fighting?” Clearly this was in reference to the very well known 1974 song by one-hit wonder Carl Douglas, which famously claimed “Everybody was Kung Fu fighting” amidst many chopping sounds and martial arts style grunts. I hadn’t seen the t shirt slogan before and for some reason it really tickled my funny bone, I was chuckling about it for the rest of the day. It made me think how strange a sense of humour is, that it can be set off by something unexpected.
Today the weather is absolutely glorious and I have once again spent a goodly amount of time in my hammock. I was glad that we went for our circuitous walk to Burnside and back in the morning, when it was a bit cooler. We met by chance our next door neighbour’s daughter Sarah, and we had a coffee with her sitting outside CafĂ© Gelato in the sunshine. She is an absolutely lovely girl whose Mum is going through the same sort of experiences as Grandma, and it was great to have a chat with her.
