Tragedy!

Yes, while practicing ukulele this evening, one of my strings broke.

My wounded ukulele

While my fellow campers might appreciate this, I’m sad that I can’t practice. I’m almost done with the entire Ukulele course on Yousician. I started in August 2023 and my hope had been to finish the course before a year, so I’m desperate to find new strings. I’ve already sent a mail to the closest musical instrument shop, which I expect to drive past in 3-5 days.

Morning with the Puffins

Otherwise, today has been a good day.

It started with a visit to a popular puffin hangout, which was close to my previous campsite.

A few puffin pics

Puffins are cute, quiet, curious birds that often flock by the 100s. Although I don’t show it in any of these pictures, they were packed in pretty close on an easily accessible rocky outcropping with a boardwalk for the less cute, but still quiet and curious tourists flocking about to take pictures of them.

It was already getting crowded with tourists in the morning and I’m sure it would be packed for most of the day. I’ve already taken pictures of puffins on my original visit to the Faroe Islands, but I couldn’t resist the chance to visit with them again.

After that, I drove for several hours down dirt roads along the coast and over a mountain pass with lots of beautiful scenery and happily very few other cars.

My route and a few of the sights along the way

I got to my next camp site in the afternoon and splurged on a late lunch at the local bistro.

Can you hear my sandwich screaming, “No! Don’t eat me!”

I’ll have to find ways to avoid boredom in the evenings without my ukulele for a few days, so you may see more posts.

Sorry about that.

But thanks for reading along.
