In the country

We're out in the country. Anna squeeled with joy when she saw the swing set. 🙂Read more

Bjarki woke up at 7am today, and sounded unhappy, so I’m guessing it wasn’t the lack of sunlight. Granny Anna heard him and rescued him from the bed, much to his and our joy. The lack of sunlight on the other hand did help me in persuading Anna that it was really morning still minutesRead more

GSM síminn loksins kominn í samband

2009-07-23Uncategorized Standard

[This is only of interest to Icelanders, so Icelandic only this time] Farsíminn okkar er loksins kominn í samband (867 2717). Við erum búin að standa í stappi við Símann síðan á laugardag við að breyta Frelsisnúmeri í áskriftarnúmer og alltaf fengum við mismunandi svör frá þjónustuaðilunum: Lau: “Tekur einn virkan dag að virkja símann,Read more

Bjarki woke up at 6 am this morning, after a paltry 7 hours of sleep (we’d gone to bed at 2 am). He took one look around the room, saw how bright it was, and decided it was time to wake up. Finnur sacrificed himself until Granny Anna woke up at 8am. At 9am BjarkiRead more

In Hvalfjörður

We had big plans for Tuesday (a hike, big dinner-BBQ with friends in the city), but they fell apart when I developed a mild stomach-upset late Monday night. Nothing serious happened, well except excessive air-ation, but it left me drained and dragging for the remainder of the day. The only other casualty was Anna, who’sRead more

Finnur can’t take more than 30 days of consecutive calender days off for vacation (even though he’s got many more vacation days saved up) so he needs to work for three days before formally going on vacation. This Monday was day 1 of working “from home”, so to stay out of his hair, I tookRead more

Sunday at Home-base

2009-07-19Uncategorized Standard

It is customary for us to spend the first week in Iceland frantically meeting everybody that we haven’t seen for ages. This generally requires little advance planning since we just start calling people up and ask if they’re around for the next few hours. As we started calling around today though, it quickly became apparentRead more

We landed in Iceland at 6:30 am this morning after an fairly uneventful trip. Lessons from the first flight: a) Check into the airline that is operating the flight, not the one listed as the primary, b) Call/email way ahead to make sure that the family isn’t scattered around the plane. c) Having a specialRead more

And… we are there…

We have arrived. We just had some snacks and will now crash in bed for a few hours. Við erum komin til landsins. Ekki víst hvaða símanúmer við verðum með ennþá. Kemur í ljós. 🙂 Ætlum að skríða í rúmið…Read more

Half way there…

About to have dinner at the midway point. Flight #1 a resounding success in spite of a few hiccups.Read more
