Nógvur kavi

Sum tit nokk vita, so hevur tað verið ótrúliga nógvur kavi allastaðni á norðraru jarðarkúlu. Ella ótrúliga kalt, ella óvanligt veðurlag. Nógvur kavi hevur eisini verið í Føroyum, í mun til tað sum hevur verið tey síðstu 10 árini. Her eru so nakrar myndir av kavanum:

Lots of snow

As you all may very well be aware of, there has been a lot of snow everywhere on the northern hemisphere. Or umbelievably cold, or unnatural weather conditions. There has also been a lot of snow in the Faroe Islands, combaring how little snow we've had the last 10 years. So here are some photos of the snow:

There used to be a car beneath that.. XD

X-Factor and Eurovision

Faroese artists are represented in a lot of music shows these days. There's Anna Nygaard, who's attending in the Danish TV-competition, X-factor(a bit like American Idol). There's Jógvan Hansen, who's attending the Icelandic Eurovision competition. And there's Jens Marni Hansen who'll attend in the Danish Eurovision contest on the 6th of February.

I don't know yet, which song Jens Marni Hansen will sing in the Danish Eurovison contest, but one of the writers of the song, is the singer of the band "Johnny Deluxe".

49,000!

For the first time, ever, there are living more than 49,000 people in the Faroe Islands!

On the 1st of August there were living 49,006 people in the Faroe Islands. There were 132 more people born than there died, and 131 more people moved to the Faroe Islands, than there moved from the Faroes.

But the population will probably decrease next month, because a lot of people will move to other countries to study. But the population will probably increase back to more than 49,000 at the turn of the year, if the population will increase the same way it has done the last couple of months.

____________________________

Fyri allar fyrstu ferð, nakrantíð, búgva tað nú meira enn 49.000 fólk í Føroyum!

Tann 1. august búu 49.006 fólk í Føroyum. Tað vóru 132 fleiri fólk fødd, enn tað doyðu, og 131 fleiri fólk fluttu til Føroyar, enn tað fluttu frá Føroyum.

Men fólkatalið fer nokk at minka næsta mánaða, tí tá flyta nógv til onnur lond í lestrarørindum. Men fólkatalið fer sannlíkt at koma upp um tey 49.000 um ársskiftið, um fólkavøksturin verður tann sami sum teir síðstu mánaðirnar.

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.
