I turned 40 years old the other day (ahemm, two months ago!). \u00a0Let’s all pause to let that sink in.<\/p>\n

I’d gone back and forth on the party\/no party question and then the “what kind of party”, but as our schedule started lining up (the following weekend got completely filled up!), it became clear that a small gathering at home after work, with ‘bought ready food’ would be ‘it’.<\/p>\n

I pat myself on the back for at least celebrating the day, as it was tempting (easier) not to. \u00a0I’m pretty happy about the age upgrade though, and I expect to become very mature in the coming days\/weeks\/months\/years. \u00a0Any time now really. (16 images total)<\/p>\n

It was not only my birthday, but also Ash Wednesday, which has morphed into a kind of Halloween here in Iceland.<\/p><\/div>\n

Also earlier in the day, there was a birthday party at work in my honor. Every decade-birthday is celebrated with a small party, and gifts! \u00a0On the left is my boss giving a small speech.<\/p><\/div>\n
