Feeding the geese @ Reykjavik, Iceland with the #family
Checked into a Grayline bus for the late evening golden circle tour — doing the touristy thing for once with the #family
Went whale watching, saw several dolphins, two minke whales, a load of puffins and several thousand unexpected jellyfish.
Comic highlight when the announcer tried to give us a sense of just how big blue whales can be…
“Imagine a basketball court, with a blue whale in. That basketball game… would be over”
Ah, a happy end to rather a traumatic night. And the moral of the story? Trust maths over Icelandic bus drivers.
“…and Jake the Human, the fun will never end, it’s #adventuretime”
Brother: “The fun has to end because one of them will die
” #killjoy
Oscar is watching Icelandic extreme fishing. Mum challenges John Walters not to start talking about buried shark every time someone mentions #iceland. Ha, fat chance of that. It was even on my birthday card #family
Brother: “Einstein on the Beach?”
Me: “That’s an opera?”
Brother: “That’s a thing?!”
Current Walters #family discussion: what is more useful when job seeking, GCSEs or cake-making ability (demonstrated through providing the potential employer with a cake to try)
It seems my brother is not overly impressed with my heartfelt rendition of “Half Caste”.
The jwentomologist reaction to a programme about bionics:
“They could use that to build a pantomime horse”
@tommorris last time Oscar saw an @-name he liked on my screen (cssquirrel) he spent the rest of the day repeating it. Over. and. over. again.
Amazing birthday presents including A Million Random Digits from jwentomologist and my mum!
OH “That's not the sort of pond water you'd want to be associated with” — the brother
“Problem with £1 Fish is he has to release a new song every time VAT goes up” – my 13yr-old brother #family
“And for your birthday… the HEARTY CARROT” — jwentomologist #family #surreal
OH “There should be a TV programme called Roadkill Christmas”
Me: “Yes, that is a tool called Github, with an octopus-cat hybrid as a logo. It’s one of the best tools which has been created, I use it every day"
Brother: “I am scared”
OH
“Do those guys never stop wittering on?” John Walters on @boagworld podcast
