Summarið er komið

Vit hava nú havt sól og summar í tríggir dagar á rað! Hitin hevur ligið um tey 20 stigini. Í Føroyum er tað sera heitt, tá hitin er um 20 stig, og tá fara næstan øll útum at njóta hendan deiliga hitan, og at hugna sær saman við vinfólki og familju. Nøkur seta seg bert útum at fáa sær eitt prát, onnur fara at grilla, og nøkur fara á sandin, at "sóla" sær, og at hava tað stuttligt. Og kanska onkur fer ein lítlan svimjitúr í sjónum, eisini? :P

Skýggj vóru næstan ikki at síggja á himmalinum - sjálvur taldi eg eitt einstakt. Tað er ikki ofta at so gott veður er í Føroyum, og tí eru vit øll sera takksom og royna at njóta hvønn ein góðveðursdag, ið kemur.

Summer has come

We've had a sun for three days in a row now! The temperature has been around 20 degrees Celcius(68 F). That's warm in the Faroe Islands, and almost everybody go outside to enjoy the nice heat, and to enjoy themselves together with friends and family. Some just sit down outside and have a talk, others barbecue, and some go on the beach to "tan" themselves, and have some fun. And maybe some take a little swim into the ocean, as well? :P

There were almost no clouds in the air - I, myself, could only count one single cloud. It's not often that we have such good weather in the Faroes, and we are therefor all very grateful and try to enjoy all the days with good weather, that comes along.

Marknaðarføring uttanlands!

Eg hoyrdi í útvarpinum í dag, at nøkur feløg(Atlantic Airways, 62N, Hotel Føroyar, o.s.fr...) saman hava sett á stovn eina heimasíðu, sum fyri tað mesta vendir seg til Danir. Á heimasíðuni hava feløgini valt at vísa ein annan vinkul av Føroyum, og also ikki allar hesar hugtakandi vøkru myndirnar av náttúruni, fjøllunum, havinum og mentanini, men ístaðin ein heldur skemtiligan vinkul. Tey fokusera nógv á at Føroyar eru seyðaoyggjar, og hava tí nógvar teknaðar seyðir, og hava tey eisini nógv orðaspøl við hesum. Tey velja eisini at vísa ymiskar virðislønir, ið Føroyar hava fingið, sum t.d. besta oyggjasamfelag í heiminum, minsti høvuðsstaður og at vit hava nógv berghol og nógvir tunnlar.

Um tú skilur danskt, so kanst tú hyggja at heimasíðuni her!

Marketing abroad!

I heard on the Radio today that some companies(Atlantic Airways, 62N, Hotel Føroyar, etc...) together have created a webpage, which fot the most part is for Danes. On the webpage, the companies have chosen to show a different side of the Faroe Islands, and not all these enchanting pictures of the nature, the mountains, the ocean and the culture, but instead a pretty funny side of it. They focuse a lot on the Faroe Islands as the Sheep Islands, and therefore they have a lot of animated sheep and also some word-plays (in Danish). They also choose to show some awards that the Faroe Islands have gotten, like for example, the best Island group, smallest capital, and that we have a lot of tunnels.

If you understand Danish, you can take a look at the webpage here!

Kavi!

Tá eg vaknaði í morgun, heldur svøvntungur, og hugdi út gjøgnum vindeyga, og sá hvussu ljóst tað var úti, serliga tí at fjøllini vóru kavaklødd, tá vaknaði eg beinanvegin ordiliga, eg fekk eitt gott lag á! Eg plagi annars ikki vanliga at gerast í so góðum hýri, so tíðliga á morgni; um tað var tí at eg hevði sovi lutfallsliga leingi, ella tí at tað var ljóst og kavi úti, eitt boð um at várið byrjar at nærkast, veit eg so ikki.

Snow!

When I woke up this morning, kind of sleepy, and looked out through the window, I saw how light it was outside, and especially how the mountains were covered in snow, I actually woke up immediately, and I was in a great mood! I'm not normally, so early in the morning, so I don't know whether it was because I had slept comparatively late, or because it was so light and snowy outside, or whether it was a message that spring is coming...

Eg tók eina mynd, beint tá eg kom úr arbeiði; tá varð nakað av kavanum longu bráðnaður.
I took a picture, on my way home from work; a lot of the snow had melted.
