Darn, a day late.
This is going to be a quick blog as today is proving to be one of the busiest days of my life, no actually, this past week in general. You see, I am performing in two concerts this evening for small children and we started practising on Thursday. Seriously. So it's a little hectic - though awesomely fun. I've never ever considered spending so much time intensively with any of my classes (excluding camps and such) but here it just WORKS. So well - everyone gets along and everything runs perfectly. Or it would if anyone knew what on earth we were doing ...
So here it goes: my weekend. And this is an extreme example, not all of them are so intense, but well ... most.
Thursday: practice for concert from 1.30PM until 8PM.
Friday: practice for concert from 8AM until 10AM and then again from 1.30PM until 7PM. 11PM go to a metal concert at a bar in town, then hit the clubs. Get home at 7AM.
Saturday: Sleep until 11AM. Get up, go to the theatre (2PM until 5PM), have dinner, leave to go to formal birthday party for my friend Lilja at 7PM. Stay for 45 minutes, go to concert at 8PM until 11PM. 12PM: Go back to Lilja's for the REAL party. Stay there until 4AM, then head into town to go clubbing. Get home at (seriously) 10AM.
Sunday: Sleep until 11.30AM, get up, start practise at 12PM until 6PM, go home, have dinner, head back to school for practise from 7PM until midnight.
Monday: Get up at 5AM, head to school for practise starting 7AM until 10AM. More practise from 11.30AM until 12.
Yeah so that's where we are now - it is 12.25PM on Monday and I am just about to head home to get some throat things to make me sing like an angel and get changed into my LBD and leggings and heels to look all important and nice. And I shall be singing Can You Feel The Love Tonight for 200 small children. Twice - concerts tonight from 3.30-5.30PM and then 6-8PM. I am also playing the keyboard in the band. Rah!
Um, yeah. Stuff has happened in the last week but for the life of me I cannot remember it ... I'm sure it will come to me eventually ... ooh, I've started wearing silk pants. I randomly bought two pairs a few weeks back for like $7.50 each (30kr, awesome sale) and I have decided I never want to wear other pants as long as I live, these things are great.
We had ræstkjøt for dinner last night - half dried (well, really rotted) meat that has been boiled. You have no idea how good that stuff is. I love it. Favourite Faroese food, though ræstan fisk is also really good. Can't decide.
Ooh, and Christmas is in ONE WEEK! I can't wait - I am counting down the days and my friends keep having to correct me because I add a day. Keep forgetting they celebrate on the 24th here. I actually cannot wait!
Anyway, I am heading out - may be able to get a few hours sleep before I get ready.
Much love to all who read and more love to all who comment,

Heya!
So how did all the concerts go? How much sleep do you actually get over there??!! How was the singing-told you your voice was amazing (mwahaha!!)
Silk pants huh? ;) I've never actually worn them but I have heard, like you say, that they are comfortable. Maybe I should try some!
Why do they celebrate Christmas on the 24th?
There was an article in the paper the other day that was saying that Warkworth lacks the Christmas spirit-it mentioned the Christmas tree that WW had that you were talking about. Some customers came into the pharmacy today and were talking about it and how there used to be lighting the tree ceremony-like you have in the Faroes-I reckon that they should bring it back, but otherwise WW does get into the spirit of Christmas, though I guess its more the individual shops rather than the actual town as itself..hmm..
Anywho-you have an awesome Christmas!!! Hopefully the package should reach soon..hopefully!
Love you :) xoxox
Hey gorgeous!
The concerts went well, thanks, and the singing was OK too. Nobody demanded a refund at any rate but guess what, we'e going to record Play That Funky Music with ME singing!!!
I recommend silk pants. They do make one look like a hippy from way back, though.
The article was written by my mother, she was inspired by all my rants about the Faroese lights. And now, next year she and I are organising a Christmas parade which yes, will involve the Christmas tree! Yay!
Looking way forward to that package aye ... love ya, Ruthie!
Has that package arrived yet?? It was sent a long while ago!
Hey Ruthie, my dear.
No parcel yet but it was sent by sea and so will take 3 weeks, and probably longer as Christmas is a rather busy time. I am sure it shall arrive soonishly. Hopefully. I have partying to do ...
