Yes, it’s the First of March again, and so: Happy Birthday Me! 🙂 (Also: Happy birthday Steinunn!! And Clint, and Helgi Hauksson, and… all the rest !! 🙂 🙂 ) To celebrate, the University of Iceland has declared today (and yesterday) to be no-teaching days, which is much appreciated!! 🙂 (Ok, ok, it’s not becauseRead more
Apparently I only pick up the camera on weekends now. Hrmm… Well, at least it got picked up and used, which is the important part!
On this lovely Sunday we invited ourselves to Finnur’s parent’s place for tea, and then got them to babysit while we looked at yet another property we won’t be buying. Reasons: The layout was all wrong: Huge kitchen, tiny living room, and the roof had apparently reached the end of its lifespan-ish. We then relocated to my aunt’s place, where a big party was under way to celebrate her youngest turning 10 years old. How time flies!!
Anna outside her grandparent's house, as we were about to depart for the next stop. It's been snowing on and off lately, but never enough to really build up to anything significant.
This was one of those crazy event-filled days. Unlike most other days, I actually had my camera in tow and two lenses, and took some 360 pictures throughout the day. Furthermore, we got home fairly early, so I’ve now gone through them all, and thrown the not-too-shabby-ones onto PicasaWeb… which means: Click on the photosRead more
What’s with these crazy timewarps? One day it’s the third day of February, and the next it’s suddenly the SEVENTEENth day of February – and I haven’t even blinked!! So, yes, two weeks have wizzed by, and since none of us had any doctor’s visits, they were apparently not very blog-worthy. I do recall thatRead more
Today we had a parent-kid-teacher conference at Anna’s school, and the teacher heaped praise on her which was fun for all involved! Overall things are going well for her at school, so good for her!Read more
This will have to be brief since I’m (supposedly) writing a lecture for tomorrow morning (exactly 12 hours from now). Today’s health update is as follows: Bjarki went to daycare, and did fine. The rest of us saw doctors today. Finnur got an appointment with some random general practitioner at Domus Medica, who listened toRead more
Lately, Finnur and I have been looking at houses/townhouses/row-houses to buy. To do so, we’ve been watching fasteignir.is, which is the main real-estate website, and lamenting how very primitive it is. For example: They do not offer a map-view of all the properties for sale (check out redfin.com and zillow.com for a good example, weRead more
Bjarki woke up in a right foul mood this morning, but at least it was a very energetic foul mood, which was a relief after all his lethargy yesterday. He also did not have a fever at all. Yay for antibiotics! 🙂 As the day wore on, he steadily became more and more energetic, soRead more
So Monday started up bright and early, well, at 7am. I held down the fort for a couple of hours (both kids measured at 37.4°C, yay! heading in the right direction) before a-still-very-sick-and-lethargic Finnur kindly crawled out into the living room to supervise dvd-viewing while I napped. Fast-forward to lunchtime. I managed to persuade theRead more
First off: Massive congratulations to Guðrún and Snorri on the birth of their third child this past night! All went well, and they were home by lunchtime! Now, back to our saga of ill health. Around 2am Bjarki had been coughing a dry cough for close to an hour, and I found myself in ourRead more
