Apafréttir #2

Áframhaldandi endurbirting mín á inngangsköflum úr Naked Ape fréttabréfinu, sem ég skrifa.

Hi
Yesterday was the "First Day of Summer", a little Icelandic semi-holiday that celebrates the end of winter and beginning of sweet sweet summer. We go around saying "Happy summer!" to everybody and even give each other little "summer gifts". The cutest holiday ever? You be the judge.

Anyway, we figured that the official first day of summer called for a little yard work. The jungle around our workshop had become pretty dense so we were well armed with buzzsaws, clippers and jackhammers. We put on our safety goggles, kissed our loved ones farewell and marched into the dark of the wilderness.

After what seemed like days of hacking and whacking we finally regained control of our backyard. We celebrated by putting on some Bruce Springsteen and fired up the grill. But before we could toss the wieners on the flames, it started snowing on an epic scale. We ran inside, cursing the deceptive Icelandic weather and spent the rest of the day suffering from hypothermia, influenza and jungle rot.

Happy summer from Iceland.
The Naked Ape gang
