- nothing

Yes, there are no news - no nothing.
I am still working for Eimskip from 9-17 and have just recently realized that being here without a car has made me depressed. Ah, but that is ok, as I am so a jolly person, that now I am just behaving like other 'normal' people! Anyway, the peace is out, my dad is sorting out my car and I should have it shortly. In the meantime I have in a weird and longwinding way (but still all happened within 3 minutes) gotten hold of a red Honda HRV vehicle. I went swimming and to the pub yesterday and it was FANTASTIC!! I can roam around now, well at least sort of.

This weekend is the Eimskip UK ltd Xmas party and of the 5 women on my department I am down in the 'books' as the one to be most likely to get the most drunk first!? I am appalled!! :-)
Anyway, might not be going as I haven't got my party outfit sorted. - As if that would stop me!! I mean, there is a raffle there!! Hooray!

So, on to other things. Oh, yeah, there were no other things. Hmmm, must be able to think of something. Ooh, yes, the other day there was a massive fire in Iceland. Thousands of tons of tires went up in flames. It took something like 14-16 hours to put it out and loads of houses had to be evacuated in the area. Eimskip is close to the fire site but due to the waythe wind was blowing they were more or less ok. Such luck! And NO, I am NOT being sarcastic here!!

Well, best do some work now and then find my way to the red Honda.

Take care

- song on my brain

All day today I have had this weird song on my brain. I don't know why as this is not even my favourite film or anything like that...? So it is this song - http://www.theguitarguy.com/wheredoi.htm

Today I heard that Guðmundur Sigurðsson, a colleague from the terminal died suddenly yesterday. He was only 46 years old and a great guy. When I went to take my 'work' machine exam his daughter was there doing that seminar as well. I am in a bit of a shock still - it is so unrealistic...!!

- an Hour of My Life

Just debating if is should be an hour off or of my life...
Well so this morning I got up just before six, yes, very weird. I stayed in bed, very nice, and finished a book about a alcoholic woman that sniffed glue in her younger years. After that I got out and roamed around, decided to go to work early, take an earlier bus. So I left the house at 7.45 and it was 8.45 before I got to work. During that hour I had taken 2849 steps according to my pedometer, started reading a book about a man who had a nervous breakdown and wakes up in a mental institute, had a discussion with a very nice young girl with nice red hair (it glowed/sparkled in the sun :-)) about late busses and strictness in Healing school as a opposed to Immingham school. Apparently you must wear shoes at Healing school, which I didn't find very peculiar until she added and not trainers. Then the penny dropped.
So now I am at work and I have taken 3023 steps.
