Sorry guys for stepping out of the 'arty', but I've been sitting on these kitty pictures too long and I had to share. Who doesn't love kitty pictures!?
It's mostly photos I took of my mother's friend's cats, Gulli and Emilía (Gulli is the yellow/white one, Emilía is the black/white with the black spot on her chin), but there are also two pictures of my cats - the Holga one is of Helena and the first one (above cut) is of Akkiles.

Today there was an earthquake in Iceland, one of the big earthquakes rarely get and are called Sudurlandsskjálftar, or South side quakes. Today's was approximately 6,2 on the Richter scale. You could feel it quite well in Reykjavík, but there were no serious damages I know of. The towns of Hveragerdi and Selfoss were not so lucky, as they are much nearer to the origin of the quake.
Thankfully, living on a fairly active island, we have had the sense (and funds) to build houses strong enough to withstand earthquakes and so there was no serious or life threatening damage I know of. There was a family near Hveragerdi whose sheep house collapsed and they lost quite a few sheep to that though, but that seems to be the greatest casualty I've heart of yet. (If you know of any more, you're welcome to correct me as I don't claim to be a 100% accurate, only reporting what I've heard myself.)

My grandparents live in the east side of Hveragerdi, very near the origin and so they felt it very well. Their house did not sustain damage, but the inside of it was a complete mess. My mum, brother and I rushed there after work to help them clean up and although they'd put the living room shelves back up and moved the fridge back, it was still pretty messy. But as they say, a picture says more than a thousand words, and I have quite a few pictures.

I hope the snow is leaving us for the last time, this time. I hope this feeling of loneliness leaves with it.

One of the most vicious predators in Iceland is the Fjalaköttur. Ever since Iceland was first inhabited, the Fjalaköttur has been here, stealing sheep, dogs and sometimes babies to eat. At first it lived in caves out in the country but as Reykjavík grew into a city, the Fjalaköttur grew more fond of city meat. It does not live in the city as it is too big to hide very well there, but it can often be seen jumping between rooftops or lurking around in dark alleys. It is especially fond of the centre and the old west side of town.
