- The Puffin Party

Must say that the puffin party was extraordinarily well lucked (Ok, so this is directly translated from Icelandic but it just describes the party so well). People started gathering there around 18.00 and there was a starter, smoked puffin, buried goose along with some melon and mousse. Yum yum. Then we were deemed advanced enough by the party holders for the main course. It was puffins ('fresh'), browned/caramelized potatoes (cooked in loads of sugar), apple salad and some delicious sauce made from puffin broth. This was enjoyed with lots and lots of redwine. Thank you very much Auður and Bjöggi!! After all this eating the guitars were pulled out and the evening - and a big chunk of the night as well - went by with singing and playing. Fortunately their next door neighbour didn't come over to complain about the noice:) - Actually I (the neightbour) didn't mind the singing at all, even think there might be a future for us and we should look into doing an album. It would sell like hot thick pancakes (Icel. heitar lummur) Anyway, absolutely great fun. Thank you again Auður and Bjöggi. Can't wait for the next party!!

The other week, or was it this week? - well, anyway - Petra (my room mate in the OPH (Old Peoples Home) in Finland) rang me and I am very tempted to go visit her for a few days in Austria. Will be fantastic to meet her again and would be so great if Jana could come over from Germany. Jana is by the way going to France for a few months this year - Good one Jana!

Next, on my 'to do' list is to mention my trip the other month when I went to visit Heija and Pedro in London. I am by the way still miffed that I didn't manage to visit Þórunn and Pedro that time - Sorry Þórunn!! So, the visit to H&P was great. I really enjoyed my time there. We, amongst other things, went to a Russian restaurant and since we have all been in Russia it was a bit like being 'home'. I did have the Pelmeni's as mentioned in a previous post, but also blini's with salmon as starter and then blinis with 'tvorag' as a dessert. I definitely recommend the restaurant - Potemkin - and I also recommend the Gregorian redwine. Not the expensive Gregorian but the other one :)

Ok, think this is enough for now.
...I wonder why it is that when you are writing about 'nothing' you have loads to write about but when it comes to writing thesis, like the thesis I am supposed to be writing then pouff, nothing! Arg, this is so unfair!! Sniff sniff (the teary one not the drug related one)
