Newsflash

Sorry its been a fews days since my last blog. Been a bit busy with doing some DIY around the house and socialising with friends. You know how it is.

In the news today is a Human Rib bone found on a beach near Isafjordur. The bone has been sent to Reykjavik for analysis but the theory is that it could belong to one of the victims of the 'Spanish killings' of 1615. The victims were 32 Spanish whalers that were shipwrecked and were chopped into bits by the locals on the orders of a local sheriff. Nice !

Also in the news was the report of gunshots and a man being seen with a rifle running into a box factory in Reykjavik late last night. The police special forces, known as the Viking squad, were called in but found only three drunk youths. The noise of the gunshots the police believe where in fact just the drunk kids breaking a glass window.
