I underwent acute surgery on Monday evening as they suspected appendicitis, but they found out that it was a (benign) ovarian cyst instead, which they didn't remove. I'm primarily happy to know what was causing my stomach ache, but it is slightly annoying not to be able to do much right now.

I can listen to music, however, which I rarely have time to do otherwise, and I have just bought Sofia Jannok's newly released album Áhpi — wide as oceans on iTunes. I really like it, and my current favourite is Aktonas. Beautiful. Strong. Mighty. Resonating...

Jannok's album is inspired by, even immersed in, her Sami origin and the fight she, and other people, have had to put up to defend the validity of their traditions and customs. Her voice is filled with strength.
