Perhaps it explains a lot about me :)<br /><br />As long as they're the traditional shuffling zombie type, rather than the new World War Z cheetah hybrid, we should be fine.<br /><br />Thank you for the Icelandic tips. The only other words I know (apart from norðurlósin, of course) are 'thanks' (takk) and 'bye bye' (bless bless). And I think you taught me those, too!Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-41516156014673035012014-12-03T18:21:09.622-05:002014-12-03T18:21:09.622-05:00Red is definitely my colour.

That jacket you're wearing in the pic is just wonderful!<br /><br />And yes please on the T-shirt front.

In desperation, when I've made similar errors of judgement in the past, I've even resorted to trepanning. You have my sympathies, sir. I hope the thumb is holding up as well as your witty repartee!Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-89583736984759948882014-11-30T13:56:56.282-05:002014-11-30T13:56:56.282-05:00You are hte only person I know that would sew up t...You are hte only person I know that would sew up their own finger - kudos! If there is ever a zombie outbreak I am going to find you Zoe and follow you wherever you are heading. Knowing you it would probably be to some place even more dangerous than the zombie ridden area. Anyway - great piece :-) The horse would have been Lukka (meaning Luck) and the gait is "tölt" - you will soon know Icelandic.Yrsa Sigurdardottirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889410114439001207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-91885148205860393432014-11-30T13:33:47.335-05:002014-11-30T13:33:47.335-05:00I think that we ought to do a special blood red ve...I think that we ought to do a special blood red version of the tee shirt. It certainly will show sharp, but more importantly won't show Sharp blood, a real consideration where our Zoe is concerned.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-58181471966705474642014-11-30T13:27:16.922-05:002014-11-30T13:27:16.922-05:00Zoe, What Michael said.

I'm building this chicken coop, you see, and it was coldish (not Iceland cold, mind you) yesterday morning, and there was this nail I was driving. Unfortunately, my hammer mistook the one on my left thumb for the one I was looking at, and a number of words-of-the-week (that you've not yet seen fit to cover) ensued. The thumb is still throbbing this morning, blood oozing slowly from under the side of the nail, and I'm sure I'll lose it (the nail, but probably not the thumb) eventually. It's amazing how many things you use a thumb for. Fortunately, I never use my left thumb while typing, so you're spared any withdrawal symptoms from my witty repartee.Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-2321701071924525872014-11-30T11:01:35.516-05:002014-11-30T11:01:35.516-05:00Well, my tetanus shots are up to date, and I had a...Well, my tetanus shots are up to date, and I had a bottle of surgical spirit, some forceps and a bent needle, so DIY seemed infinitely preferable to going and sitting for three hours in the nearest Casualty department waiting to be seen. Good job it was a finger on my left hand, though!<br /><br />And yes, Iceland has a lure all its own. I think a motorcycling tour in the summer might just be on the cards ...Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-83240885540434301062014-11-30T10:43:07.979-05:002014-11-30T10:43:07.979-05:00Hmm.
