Tomato leaves have started turning yellow or dying out so did some pruning. Kind of looking forward to the end of the tomato season so I can stop watering my tomato plants lol. Container tomatoes are thirsty beasts! Alas, there are still many tomatoes that have yet to ripen.
When I close my eyes to go to my happy place, images of this nature reserve at the end of the road in Neskaupstaður—a town located near the mouth of Norðfjörður, on the eastern side of Iceland—always come to mind. (October 2017)

I honestly thought "Jarred Marinara" was some guy's name.
Today's tomato harvest. The bigger, yellow ones are supposed to be "Black Cherry" tomatoes but obviously aren't so it's a mystery. 😄 The rest is a mix of "Cherry Blast", "Fantastico", and "Sungold Orange". Oh, and this is after a big harvest on Saturday which was roughly twice the amount of this.

Yours truly on the once viral "floating crosswalk" (an optical illusion) in Ísafjörður, Westfjords, Iceland back in June 2019. Photo by the spousal unit.
It's supposed to go down to 9°C tonight and the days start getting cooler on Sunday. Could it be that summer is winding down?
Nah.
I let two domains expire so I registered a new one as a reward. 🙄
This is one of the waterfalls downstream from Dynjandi. I think it's the one called Hundafoss.
We were planning to revisit Westfjords next year, but plans changed (not by me), so here I am, browsing through the photos I took in Westfjords, feeling nostalgic. 🙃

1. what the fuck
Forcing myself to walk normally instead of hobbling. My wonky knee definitely isn't happy about it and keeps giving me pain but tough luck. We're doing it!
This is probably my most favourite photo of a shipwreck that I've ever taken. The Garðar BA 64 is Iceland's oldest steel ship, built in Norway in 1912. It was a whaling and fishing vessel. Now lying on the Patreksfjörður shoreline in the southern coast of Westfjords, Iceland. (June 2019)
Dunguaire Castle in Co. Galway, Ireland.
Sometimes i can't tell if someone's comment is sarcasm, a joke, or sincere. 🤔
This is one of the carved stones inside the Fourknocks Neolithic Passage Tomb in Co. Meath, Ireland. We had to go to someone's house (which we could only find thanks to the help from a public works employee who happened to be in the area) to get the key to the tomb and leave a cash deposit (we had no Euro in hand; fortunately our Canadian dollar was acceptable), but it was totally worth the hassle. It was nice having the tomb all to ourselves.

I must've forgotten the fact that Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi are a married couple.
I love my double-flowered Rose of Sharon because the flowers actually look like roses minus all the thorns. The pink on these is so light that the flowers look white from afar.
I was just looking for my tablet, while I was holding my tablet in my hand. 🙄 #NewLow
