Going home within a week, and I start to think about all the things I'll miss. This is not one of them. It's the pathway between the university and the National Library. I'm clearly the only person who uses it, and you have to run and keep your mouth shut, as all KINDS of insect wait for you as you pass...

Today was cool - they've started filming a Norwegian TV series in the middle of town. Well, I thought it was cool until I realised that they'd closed off my road and I couldn't get into my house. By the time I did, I wasn't able to get anything done, because I had some American (or Norwegian with an American accent) yelling 'CUT!' and 'ACTION!' about a metre away from my window.

It's been a big ol' weekend, and I was really hot, so I'll chilled out and watch a film.

Playing with the band in the pedestrian precinct for some Music Day or Summer Day or Summer Music Day or something like that. I should really listen more.

Fantastic weather again today - another barbecue. And today Jonas came over to me. He's been a little wary of me since I arrived, and now, a few days before I go home, he's decided that I'm ok after all!

Beautiful scenery from the Vestmanna Bird Cliffs (see here).

(One for the language buffs) Faroese has a letter, Ð/ð, which comes from Icelandic, but causes no end of problems in Faroese as it isn't pronounced. Consequently, people just stick it in anywhere. This football goal which has been painted on to a wall down by the harbour is a famous example (The word for 'goal' is mál).

Got lots of reading done today. Makes for a productive day, but not a great photo.

Today I went to a book-launch at the HNJ bookshop. I've never been to one before - yes, I've become pretty cultured while I've been here. I go to book-launches.

It doesn't show up too well here, but I got pretty sunburned yesterday. That's pretty unusual around these parts!

On the band's fantastic visit to Mykines Island (see here).

Down by the harbour, just forty-five minutes later, at 12.15am. I couldn't let a nice evening like this go without enjoying it!

Sitting overlooking the city. At 11.30pm, believe it or not!

Going through a particularly arty phase, what do you think of my arranging the postcards of the Faroese islands into their geographical positions?

What a beautiful day!

When I arrived here, I thought someone had turned this statue sideways, but the more I think about it (and the fact it's made of solid concrete), I think it's probably just art.

My Faroese Salvation Army Song Book - had to lead the morning meeting today. Very scary, but I think it went well!

It's OK to treat yourself once in a while, isn't it? (Well it would be, if I didn't eat hese all the time...).

Linda came to the Faroes! (see here).

Had a fantastic little trip to Nolsoy Island (see here).

All fired up for the game! Unfortunately the Serbians got it, but the Faroes played excellently (see here).

Anything can happen in the Faroes. Was just walking down the main pedestrian street, and I passed the Serbian national football team (in blue) wondering around, looking somewhat bemused by the Faroese capital.

I went and got me a book so that I can learn that chain-dancing song! (see here).

My watch has been showing 10.55 now for over a week...

The cultural night was rounded off by a Christian concert just off the main road. It was excellent! This is Heine Lutzen, 'the Father of Faroese Gospel'.

Mentunarnáttin!

Two days in a row.

When I signed up for this PhD malarky, no-one said anything about walking around at 4 in the morning trying to find a postbox.

I am absolutely dead, and the next few days are going to finish me off completely...

I just thought the sky was looking pretty cool as I was walking home, so I took a picture.
