That's a fantastic belt

I'm looking forward to this one

This weekend is faðir-dag I shall be heading out and singing a Galdr for you, you both. It's been sometimes now and I feel that I have not had the time to do such. Life has been busy, and it's three losses this year. I shall sing one for afir a grandfather that he never needed to be but did so.
