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
The weather has been snowy lately. I think it’s kinda fantastic because I’ve missed winter, and ‘snow’ makes a much more fun winter than just ‘freezing cold’. Today was a particularly pretty day, and we probably should have braved the ski-slopes, but instead we made do with a couple of playgrounds in our ‘backyard’ beforeRead more
Today Steinunn and Einar Christened their son, Þórarinn Víkingur Einarsson. The mass began at 2 pm, and we were pleasantly surprised to see Kristborg, daughter of Elsa and Þráinn, as a member of the girl-choir that sung in the church today, in honor of today apparently being a national-church ‘Youth-day’. Once mass was over, weRead more
March 3rd was our 11th Wedding Anniversary. Leading up to our anniversary we were incredibly fortunate in that a) I won a gift certificate to the Blue Lagoon Exclusive Lounge (worth 135 EUR/189 USD/21600 ISK) though a game hosted by 66 North on Facebook; b) Finnur got a gift certificate for “an all expense paidRead more
