July 1, 2026. Colossus. Iceland, Day 7. The photo doesn't do justice to the size of my new tent neighbour, which I call Colossus. It's battery powered, air cooled, and holds four (though they had extra help setting it up last night). I'm not going to let it get to me, though it did have me thinking thoughts about how to be more happy and less grouchy. It's not so easy some days. Ah - but this campsite is beautiful, I'm staying extra days. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/z90s13q

June 29, 2026. Iceland, Day 5. Recovery Day. This is a fledgling robin busy molting its baby feathers to reveal it's full colours. Apt. I spent the day at Reykjavik campsite recovering, doing nothing but reading, writing, and eating a lot of food. By the end of the day I felt human again. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/nrUMs29

June 28, 2026. Art Museum. Iceland, Day 4. Spent at least a little time admiring the art while I stopped for an emergency break. A rough day today, and I bailed part way through (but late in the afternoon) and went to Reykjavik campsite. Still ill and tired. I will probably rest here for a day even if I feel good to go. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/EVTOAgI

June 27, 2026. The watch. 1991 by Timo Solis. Stands above the Hafnarfjordur campsite where I've been all day, doing nothing. I'm under the weather and really needed a rest day. This isn't the best place for that, as there are no services, but it will have to do. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/YQHhgfr

June 26, 2026. Iceland, Dar 2. Nardvik to Hafnarfjordur. Cool, but not too rainy, wind at my back. Most of the ride was along the major highway. Caught a cold, naturally. Trying to balance the physical exertion with the various meds I'm on is a trick. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/mYzI5iy

June 25, 2026. I'm in Iceland now, in a tent, and recovering from an Odyssey that took me from below the equator to the edge of the Arctic Circle. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/KQecFr6

June 23, 2026. Union Station. After a bus ride, two flights, and the UP train, I'm at Union Station in Toronto, there to catch a train to Ottawa, from which I'm supposed to drive home (don't bet against me just booking a hotel room and then driving home and thence to Montreal tomorrow. #SDDaily.
