That stereotypically dorky and uncomfortable photo for the albums…
I’m back in in the UK after a bumpy flight and a horrible slog across a very busy rail network (great timing for industrial union action!) It was made all the more enjoyable by the company of a cute Faroese girl that I will never meet again — and a nice Australian guy that runs a large chain of bakeries across Canada.
You meet all sorts on trains and planes!
Anyway, just time for a dorky photo of me and the two poor sods that had to look after me on my trip to the Faroe Islands.
Guy on left is 21; right-side is 32. Not sure why he isn’t smiling (probably because some hairy guy is trying to pull him close for a photo…)
Unfortunately that’s all I have right now because, yet again, I got very little sleep — so now I’m going to bed.
I have fantastic stories of whale hunting and curb crawling to regale you with over the next few days. There’s a couple more photos tomorrow and then things should return to normal — but I’m going to be pretty busy over the next week so it might come in slowly!
In the mean time, if you haven’t been keeping track of my photos from the Faroe Islands, my Flickr stream is a good place to start. In fact, go there now and admire the beautiful scenery!

They don’t look too crazy…..
July 31st, 2009 at 7:38 amI’m guessing that guy on the left is the gymnast. He’s adorable! (In a good way.) Guy on the right looks like a guy that I’d have fun hanging out with.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:20 amOh, they Do have trees ont he islands, that is a surprise….
July 31st, 2009 at 10:04 amWelcome back! The weather here is as bad as it appears to have been in the Faroes so you won’t have too much trouble adjusting back XD
July 31st, 2009 at 11:52 amAwww, I want to pinch the gymnast’s cheeks. He looks adorable!
Good to see that you made it safely back to ye olde Englande. Your pictures of the Faroes have been quite stunning, I have to say (almost on par with that gorgeous photo of the Baltic from Sopot you have in your Etsy shop).
July 31st, 2009 at 1:13 pmWas this before they dunked you in something?. Or is it post gymnastic troupe floor routine?. Please say the latter.
July 31st, 2009 at 1:17 pmThey ranged from very, very pretty through to narrow-eyed, pale and inbred-lookin’. Most were incredibly cute though, male and female alike. Apparently even the guys have quite ‘feminine’ features, which is what makes them look very young — not sure, I didn’t spend long enough analysing it. They do seem to have quite high cheeks and pointed noses though…
They had a few trees in gardens, Jo — but nothing outside of towns. Absolutely nothing. And they’re all planted, all imported — nothing native. Apparently that’s also related to the number of sheep: trees = less grass = less happy sheep. And sheep eat the tree seedlings too!
You have good taste Amy
The gymnastic routine is actually next week Abi, so I just missed that one!
July 31st, 2009 at 3:12 pm21 is legal in Faroe right? hehe. I’m kidding!
Wake up already and tell us the story! You can sleep the whole day tomorrow while I do my shopping.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:33 pmIt’s not quite story time yet…! Slept 10 hours, still tired. But man, sleeping in my water bed after 17 days… amazing.
15 is legal in the Faroes…!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:47 pmThe 32 year old is pretty darn good looking.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:49 pmI know! And he knows it too.
He usually spikes his hair…
August 1st, 2009 at 7:56 pmAw, back so soon? Time flies! Can’t wait to hear the stories (well, maybe I could wait for the whale hunting part).
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:09 amI’d take the 32-year old guy’s place anytime, have Seb pull me close…for a picture.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:00 pmAs long as you smile, Miss Goddess… as long as you smile…!
We’d probably let you go in the middle actually, if you want a piece of the child cutie on the left
I’m trying desperately to do some writing Eleni but I’m still incredibly busy. Hopefully something for tomorrow…
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:08 pmOw SEBSTERR, who’s the guy beside you? The 21 years old guy? Are you guys related? Are you guys close? Does he happen to like petite asian women?
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA I should shove my perviness aside!
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:13 pmI prefer the one in the middle.
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:07 pmOnce, I was taking the train into the office, and it was very crowded, and this dude started trying to casually run his bathing suit area on me, and then I never rode the train again.
August 2nd, 2009 at 8:25 pmYou’d love it there, Andhari. And you’d fit right in — no one would question why you look 12 years old!
Faultless taste as always, JPP. *blushes* (But I wouldn’t deny you a brief fling with either of the others, I can see how they might be more appealing…)
Have you seen the videos of Japanese trains from the 1990s, Jill…?
