Today, 24th Feb ‘19 is Konudagur/Women’s Day here in Iceland, and though I failed to celebrate Husband’s Day/Bóndadagur back in January for my Viking, Ingimar was kind enough to keep my cultural education going and treated me to a wonderful Woman’s Day.

Konudagur is a day when husbands, partners, and boyfriends pamper their girls and show appreciation and love. It’s a day when women traditionally get the day off and are pampered by their husbands. So, after a lovely family meal (no, Mia isn’t quite up to a keto diet yet), I came home to hang out the washing, lol, and arrange the beautiful flowers my Viking had surprised me with - thanks Ingimar.

As a Brit, let’s add in some weather chat. Konudagur also marks an important point in the Nordic calendar. Góa is the second last winter month here in Iceland and when it gets visibly lighter, yay!! And today was certainly a beautiful spring day in Reykjavík ;)

So, if you’re Icelandic or your partner is, I hope you’ve had a wonderful Konudagur. Comment below with what you did and share your best Konudagur treats yet.
