We joined the Pretoria Mystery Ghost Bus Tour on Saturday night. It was such good, clean fun. On the bus, they played this track, and I've had it stuck in my head ever since.

Mykines Lighthouse, Faroe Islands
The Mykines Holm lighthouse was built in 1909, but it wasn't the Faroes' first. The first lighthouse was lit way over on the other side of the Faroe Islands in 1782, on the northern part of Nolsoy . Towards the end of the second industrial revolution (a few years before the first world war), it looks like the construction bug bit the Faroe people, because they built the first bridge over Holmgjogv , as well as the first path from Mykines Bygd (the village ) to Mykines Holm (the lighthouse islet) in the same year that they constructed Mykines Holm Lighthouse.

(It keeps hitting me right in the heart when I least expect it.) Since then I've lost a cousin to teen suicide, I almost lost my only sister to meningitis, my best friend finally stopped waiting for me to reconnect, and then my mother's stage four cancer diagnosis came at a time when my young marriage was suffering a slow death. I was so out of it. I felt nothing. I sat across my husband after...
