First day of summer in Iceland. #DistractMe #Fibromyalgia #ChronicFatigue

Today is the first day of summer in Iceland, that is according to the old calender. In the old days people only thought of two seasons, winter and summer. Today begins the month of Harpa according to old times. We Icelanders find this old custum quite ironic because very often the weather on this day is Rain, snow, much wind or all three in a mix. 😒😒😒 In modern times we think of the year in four seasons and the names of the months are the same as in other countries ( janúar/january, febrúar/February etc.). 🤔🙂💐🍰🫖

Another Rosie pic for your Monday! Because everyone deserves a Rosie pic to start their day 😉 See how she sticks her whole nose in the rose? Lol

I would feel the same way....except on the days when she wakes me up with her grumbles about my sleeping late 😂 and yes they literally sound like a tiny frustrated person is trying to politely grumble someone awake 🤣

She is a Very talkative pup! Her sassy grunts of unhappiness if we don't pay her as much attention as she wants are the funniest things!
