… it takes more than one week to recover from spraining a calf muscle. Yes, I somehow managed to sprain a calf muscle during my weekly gym-session last week (Yes, I know. ‘Weekly’ isn’t exactly fabulous, but it’s more than zero gym, and it keeps my hands operational. Also I’ve been known to swim aRead more
Hi there, trusty reader of our blog! Yes, you are one of about 300 different souls that come for a visit per month. Welcome! I’m guessing I probably know you, or we know somebody in common. Or, you may have met me in an airport being all disheveled and sleep-deprived and I may haveRead more
I stumbled upon a couple of Bjarki’s medical status updates from 2007 the other day. The first one, from 26 August 2007, listed the seven diagnoses he had on his chart at that time, and the second, from 13 November 2007, revisited those diagnoses. I therefore figured it was high time to revisit his ‘medical issues’Read more
It’s been a very busy weekend (and it’s not done yet…!) Today we had the pleasure of celebrating Margrét’s confirmation. I took some 629 photos today, and more than 200 of them are now online. I suspect these are mostly of interest to those that know either of the two families – otherwise it’s mostlyRead more
First up: Happy Birthday Hólmfríður! Today was your special day! 🙂 So yes, for those of you that are Icelandic-ally challenged: Finnur the Prankster posted a blog-post shortly after midnight today saying that we’d just bought a very expensive house, and then went on to detail all the things we needed to fix (leaks, roof-parts,Read more
Uppfærsla: Þetta var apríl-gabbið í ár! (April-fools!) (PS. Ekkert af göllunum sem við lýsum á við um þetta hús, af myndunum að dæma hefði ég verið til í að flytja inn í nýverandi ástandi og gera ekkert við húsið) 🙂 Eftir mikla leit erum við loksins búin að festa kaup á húsnæði við Bollasmára 8Read more
Anna came down with a fever late Thursday, so no school for her on Friday. On Saturday she only had a low grade fever (37.5°C/99.6°F), so we ok-ed a previously planned playdate with a classmate of hers for Sunday. Of course her fever returned on the Sunday, so we called and said we were okRead more
I’m almost through week two of The Five Weeks of Utter and Crazy Madness, also known as Teaching Two Classes Concurrently, Both For the First Time. This week was the second week of only ‘three’ lectures (up from two), but next week things will go to ’11’ as I take on doing four lectures aRead more
This past Sunday (clarification, I’m backdating this post to March 20th, which is when it happened, but it’s being written on March 24th…) my grandmother, Hrefna, invited her children, grand-children, and grand-grand-children to celebrate her 77th birthday with her. We all went, and had lovely food and a good time. 🙂 Sadly, I forgot toRead more
It’s past mid-March which for me means one thing: I’ve begun teaching “Electromagnetics” (“EM”) in addition to “Antennas and Wave Propagation“. Yes, that means four (2×40 min) new lectures a week instead of just (a manageable) two for the next four weeks, a.k.a. going to bed very late for four nights a week for aRead more
