It's the Sundays that get to me. It is such a sad day, the day before Monday.Anyway, my old computer is getting just that... very old. And slightly unreliable. So now I am daydreaming about getting a new computer. Ahh, and with að little luck ADSL will be available as well.Anyway, just a quick hello, take care

Aka puffin party. Yes the moon or the sun or the earth or something has gone in a circle around itself. It was time for another puffin party here in culture city of Europe 2057.It was excellent stuff, and the food exceptional. It was good fun, and I enjoyed it. Think we all did who attended.Today it is Monday and I am over at my neighbours whilst my guests from Brighton are at my house. Not

If anyone has any comments on how I spelled Arnie's name - please keep them to yourself ;-) At least I tried and there was no cheating involved, no doublechecking. Anyway, like him I am back! Finally I have been able to connect to the darling internet from home. It is not fast and not superb but it is here and I can do minimum things and perhaps then some. So latest: I was in Iceland for a few

They are lovely. Yes, have just had one this morning and I am bursting. Actually I didn't even manage to finish mine, what a shame really but in my defence I had already had a little bit of yougurt previously. So this is this massive thing with everything! Oh, and even though it was lovely then the bacon was a bit too salty for my taste. Yum yum. Last week I have more or less lived at my

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

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

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

This week is finally over - or as good as. I confess that I wait anxiously all week for this time and then I spend all weekend dreading Monday. Last Friday I drove down to London, I was going to take the train but I got a better offer. Admittedly it took me more time than the train and it cost me additionally... but I drove a Porche 911 Targa. Yes - it was lovely :-) Spent 45 minutes on the phone

What does one write about when there is nothing to write about. The weather of course. In Iceland they are having a typical winter storm. Snow, cold and in general all around lovely weather. On the other hand, we here in Healing are having a typical fall weather, leaves everywhere and it is raining. Looks lovely but is not so great when you are running for the bus. These leaves are slippery and

Yes, it has been a while. But despite that I haven't got much to report. Work is just same old, same old. I have now been working for this company her in England for a year and half and we are getting Managing Director number 3. Yes, there has been some serious turnover. But I am still here... Can't remember if I have already reported about my broken down car, has it really been out of order for

I was going to have something here much sooner, but - I just have nothing to write about really. As an example of how exciting my life is then the highlight of yesterday is that I bought a new toiletseat. Also I bought things to clean the windows with. So last night after my social visit to the gym I attached the new weat to the toilet. Ohh, so much fun and I have realized just how tremendously

Last weekend I went to Rotterdam via Schiphol from Humberside. I went with Helen from work and the goal of the trip was to visit Eimskip in Rotterdam. That was on Monday but we went on Saturday. Needless to say I had a great time. Saturday night was great, went out and was slightly - erm, hmmm - under the influenze of alcohol. Then we were back Monday evening and I was at work Tuesday. Went to

Right, so I have been really busy and all that but that is not really an excuse. However, an excuse is that my computer has died. Yes, it is all really sad and I am really feeling bad about it but there is not much to do. So I just don't think about it and pretend this hasn't happened, which is a very clever attitude to take.... hmpfh! Firstly, I am working on getting some pics from Greece

Phew, it is truly amazing. Everything is happening now. Frederik has just gotten married to his Mary and I didn't watch it. Mamma rang to let me hear a little part of it so as I was walking around the Acropolis I listened in on The Wedding via telephone from Iceland. How international is that. CNN only showed a little bit about it so when I get back I will have to find some magazines or something

I was really going to jot down a few lines, ummm, approximately 3 weeks ago. It was supposed to be about some sort of a conspiracy theory. I had massive problems with the 'trusty' car. But now all that will have to wait - have also forgotten bits of it. The reason for this not being on top of my mind is that I am on holiday. Yessiree, and it is great. I took the train from the craddle of all

Just a quick blog this time, am about to go to bed - finally. I am supposed to be getting up around 9 on a Sunday morning - which I will of course do without any major problems - hahaha. So have spent the last 3 hours looking at hostels/hotels and have so far not managed to decide on one. That MUST be done tomorrow. But knowing myself relatively well I might postpone it, and then end up paying

Já já já! My neighbours managed to tempt me to go with them to Lincoln today instead of going to the gym. Must go tomorrow. But anyway, so there we were in Lincoln which is a very lovely place. After some serious looking around for a parking space and finally finding, we got out of the car to walk around and get to know Lincoln by foot. We walked up a road which was up a very steep hill with the

I have been wondering if I should mention this at all but I have decided not to hold anything back. I am starting with the rather sad part as it comes first in the timeline. Last Thursday I spent the evening at home and turned on the telly. There was this show on called 'The boy whose skin fell off'. And it was really about a guy - Jonny Kennedy - whose skin fell off. He had this rare genetic

Yes, I went to London last weekend - yet again. And as usual I had a great time. The highlights of the trip are a bit hazy as it has been some time since but I remember at least one thing. Yes, I had a car accident. Some woman in a shiny red car - and now very dented and scratched- drove into my trusty impeccable and ever clean car. I am of course refering to my very big and lovely Daihatsu

This weekend the plan is to shop till I drop. Not that I have any money to spend, oh noooo. But let's not hang ourselves in tiny small insignificant details. This evening I went through the agonizing process of cooking. It involved opening up a bag of nachos and to top it all off I opened a jar of salsa sauce. Yes, just call me Siggi Hall. Or for those who unfortunately do not know who that is -

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'),

Went to Copenhagen for a few days, it was nice. Met grandma and Þóra and Betina & Sören. But I also met Camilla and she is great. Obviously!! She is now 6 months old and it was the first time I saw her. I will have to try to get back to Denmark soon to meet them all again. Tonight I am going next door, there is a 'Lundaveisla' - 'puffin-party'. It will be good fun, lots of people and puffins.

Ah, bliss. Went to the chinese at lunch. Unfortunately the Brits I work with, they do not go to the pub or anything fun like that after work. But they do sometimes go to the chinese. Oh, well, as always - one must be grateful for small mercies! I had my 'regular' chicken in garlic and then full of guilt I had 4 mints afterwards to try not to stink completely of the sinful garlic.

Went to Tesco's today, my first time there and I went a bit overboard. The beauty of living here in the UK is the broad variety of ready meals. I can buy so many things that just need a few minutes in the microvawe and voilá - it is transformed into a meal. Only problem is that the microvawe in this house is not working. Hopefully the landlord will provide me with a new one this week. And at some

Yes, this weekend was boring. Although I did get some serious loving in the form of licking and nibbling it was not the type that does 'it' for me. I spent the weekend puppy-sitting for my fellow Healing townsfolk. They went out of town and I graciously agreed to spend some time with their cute puppy. Well, I can tell those who didn't know that it is more hard work than babysitting. I honestly

Hi, wow did I ever sound depressed in my last post!! Anyway, well over that now, was just suffering from a panic attack at that time - which is more or less exactly the same as every other Icelandic person at that time. Latest news are that now I am officially a year older. I have reached the prestigious age of 28. Yes, it is quite shocking but now it would seem that I should actually qualify as

Ok, Merry Christmas!! As everybody knows Christmas is today! Tonight we will open the gifts. That wil be interesting, hmmm. Actually I am not in any mood for Christmas. I am just more or less fed up. If it was possible to somehow not have gone to Iceland this Christmas I think I would have prefered to spend this season alone rather than here. But I am here and as usual it is unfortunately to late

Well, I have been at work. I was woken up yesterday morning - before 9.00!!! I was supposed to be at work at 16.00 but they rang and me, the fool I am said yes that I would come in. Ohh, it was great fun. Then I just popped out to go see the doctor, I had plans to renew my driving licence and needed some piece of paper to confirm that I am hand and eye co-ordinated and know the difference between

Halló Ísland!! Yes I am back at the good old Island up in the North. Have already been out driving and with the exception of af few minor misunderstandings it went well. At least without anyone having to go to the hospital. Mum was a bit freaked out, but I mean, isn't she supposed to love me - no matter what!?

Well, after having slept all day, all really sad and means that I had no time to buy any Christmas gifts, I watched an excellent hang over movie. Miracle on 34th Street, absolute Bliss. Felt like shouting and doing a little 'I believe in Santa Clause' dance. But didn't. The drapes weren't pulled closed and I am not firm enough in my believes to broadcast it to the whole world. Sorry Santa. Anyway

Það var þvílíkt djamm hjá mér síðasta föstudag, og alveg ótrúlegt en satt en þá var ég ekki ein um skemmtunina. Stuðið var undir merkjum freyjanna, hinn árlegi jólafagnaður. Það var á veitingastaðnum 'Vue'. Alveg prýðilegur staður, ekki ódýr, en ég var sem betur fer nýbúin að fá útborgað svo að þetta slapp allt saman. Svo var farið niður í bæ, Á 'Chicago Rocks'.

Allright, so here is another Sunday. Yesterday I went to Auður and Björgvin. They invited Julia and me to dinner. Julia is working with Björgvin. We had great indian food and then enjoyed the results of Fame Academy. Alex won, although I agree with Björgvin that I think that Alistair should have. Oh, well, not much to do about that. So now I have not much more to write about, I am too busy

Today has been great, I have been lazy and loved every minute of it. Actually this night I was very energized and didn't go to bed until around 5 this morning. I was clearing out my closet and really just having great fun. Despite this I woke up early, well sort of, and have been enjoying my clutter free closet. Now all I have to do is get all the stuff lying on the floor back into the closet in

Yes, well, I was on the brink of giving up on doing this in English but technology stopped me. I wrote a bit in Icelandic and it came out all wrong, in stead of the beautiful Icelandic letters symbols appeared, symbols like this on "æ". All very sad. I guess I will just have to get the hang of this blogg thing or not. This is an either or not situation. Funny wording!

Well, first things first, work. As usual on weekdays I went to work, however today was slightly different than usual as I was suffering from bit of a hangover. Thankfully it was not very terrible, and it got a lot better after I went to the chinese at lunch with Dawn D, Debbie, Karen S and Karen W. It is magic what a bit of chicken in garlic sauce can do. Work has been very busy lately and many

Oh well, thought I might as well so this blog stuff, just as everybody else. I have made the "political decision" to have it in English... more or less, that is, since I am currently living in the UK and so on. I have had my share of making up websites and so on, but from what I gather, this blog is "it" so I am persuaded to abandon my website(s). I will probably put up a link to a website or two
