Well, another week is gone in the very, very short time I have left in this country. Yesterday, it was 12 weeks until i'm leaving (12 weeks and 5 days until I arrive back in New Zealand for you kiwis). Now, that's pretty scary. Yes. Very scary, indeed.
Uuuuh, so not overly much has gone on this week ... I was much, much too tired to go to band practice on Wednesday (go me) and I wrote my blog on Wednesday anyway (love that Faroese time) so yes ... Thursday until here. What have I done..?
A bunch of us decided to go road tripping on .. Thursday? Or Wednesday maybe. We just drove. To this place called Kirkubøur which is beautiful, a tiny village with a big, ruined church - we just went out there for a look, I'd seen it once before. That was really fun. We listened to Jethro Tull, courtesy of Mattias. Who spent the weekend in Denmark playing in the Steinway Competition against all the best pianists in Scandinavia. He's pretty incredible - I was lucky enough to go to a concert he gave on Tuesday night with the other guy, Ólof, who was also going into the competition. They're both amazingly good pianists. The concert was really small and the most unbelievable piano playing I'd ever seen. I think I was lucky to even have been told about it as I'd been on at him to tell me about his next concert for months.
Um, yes. What else has happened...? My host aunt had her birthday yesterday and I gave her a bottle of feijoa wine which they'll probably hate as it's so sweet but hey, it's the thought that counts, isn't it? And afterwards I caught the bus to Kaldbak, a funny little villagey place 10 minutes drive out of Havn where we had a Monty Python movie night at Sunniva's place. Then this morning at 11AM I attended a christening for some very distant relation of my host mum's. Jóhanna was made godmother of the baby boy.
After THAT we went home and I had a nap and then caught the bus into town to Muller's Pakkhús where I was playing a concert at 4PM with my orchestra, GHM. We played film tunes - Grease and Mary Poppins and all manner of other stuff I don't remember. Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life went down pretty well. The concert was biggish considering it hadn't been advertised at all and afterwards I headed to a cafe with my friend Christina where we sat and drank coffee, ate nachos and made up lives for the people who walked past the window. It was rather fun. Then I came home and here I am.
And now I'm going to go and do my Maths and French homework which is due on Tuesday. Bother.
In other news, it's getting quite light here now, they brought in daylight savings last weekend and even without that the daylight hours have been increasing a lot. I am rather looking forward to the almost-always-light summer. It will be lovely.
But yeah. Homework.
