Hi Laurel, Grace, Haukur, Thomas and anyone else who wants to join in!
 
Here are the first few lines of this þáttr.  If you would prefer them sent as an email attachment in future, just let me know.  Please also say if this is too long and therefore off-putting - we want this to be fun! :-)
 
ps.. apologies for the lack of a "hooked o".  Where you see, ö just read it as a "hooked o".
 
Please feel free to post your translations when it suits you.  I won´t get back to you before next weekend [23rd/24th Oct] but if you want to post yours later, that's fine by me - I will still get back to you.
 
Enjoy!
 
Kveðja,
Sarah.
