Although living right next to work (2 minutes walking!) was really really convenient, I came to the conclusion that there is such a thing as living too close to work. For one thing, every time we’d drive home in the evening, we’d pass my building, and there would be lots of cars outside as theRead more
The school year has just begun, and this time I’m trying something new. It’s not new for most ‘big’ universities, but it is for me. Yup, this morning I arrived to class armed with a microphone and a pen-tablet, and recorded the lecture for posterity. What was recorded was my voice (and what could beRead more
Teaching begins tomorrow morning at 08:20. I’m much less stressed than I was last year, which I find slightly remarkably since I’ve hardly done any prep besides fishing out my old slides and reviewing the book index. Yes, I do have stuff to talk about tomorrow morning, and hopefully it’ll all turn out ok. ThisRead more
Bjarki and Anna get along remarkably well (and boy oh boy do I hope I’m not jinxing it by writing it Out Loud!). Sure, they poke and prod each other like any respectable siblings would, but every now and then they sit down together and read or play. One day I caught them in theRead more
The annual ‘Culture Night‘ was celebrated today in Reykjavik. It’s now the third ‘party’ of the summer, after Independance Day and Gay Pride. The ‘Culture Night’ involves closing off downtown from cars for an entire day (also because there is a marathon held that same day, plus lots of shorter races) and then there areRead more
Soooo… summer vacation is officially over so I guess it’s time to start blogging again? 🙂 Not much to report except that we went to England at the end of July for 10 days, then to a summer house (last weekend in July), after which I resumed working. Finnur was uber-dad with two kids allRead more
July was a busy month. Not only did we BUY A HOUSE (!!!) but we also went on a 10 day vacation to England. The vacation was planned long before we knew we would be buying a house, so we had to plan around it a bit. As it happened we didn’t have to planRead more
Warning: This is a massively long post, but it has lots of pictures! 🙂 When we made our original offer on our new house, we’d asked for a rather quick hand-over date, some three weeks into the future. We did this in part because we wanted to move during our summer holiday, and in partRead more
As of today, we are the proud owners of a house! Well, to be precise it’s not a whole house, but one half of a duplex. It’s 188.3 square meters (2027 square feet) and sports five ‘bedrooms’, four on the second floor, and one front room on the first floor (it’s technically the ‘storage room’).Read more
