Last day of Christmas

Today is "The Thirteenth", that is the thirteenth and last day of Christmas. The Yuletide Lads are thirteen, the first one comes 13 days before Christmas and the last one on Christmas Eve and then they start going back up to the mountains where they live and today the last of them leaves - or has left already. So tomorrow people start taking down their Christmas decorations. Actually many people have started that already. We haven't, I like those additional lights when it's dark outside, makes the days feel longer.

We all went out this morning, to Byko to get some stuff to fix the pipe holding our areal. A few weeks ago, when all the snow was melting down, it took the pipe with it, well, bent it and it's now hanging on one support only (were 3 before). We started replacing the supports but the drill ran out of power and Kristín Lára had to have her nap so we paused for a bit and will continue when she's awake again. Don't know how we are going to fix the bend in the pipe though. Sólveig Lilja isn't not feeling too good, she's had a couple of naps already, first she complained about being cold, then she was too warm. Now she is watching DVD and looks better.

School starts in a few days. How wonderful! I could do with a longer pause though. We also need to get on with our bathroom project. I'm the one dragging my feet. I need to empty out the bathroom unit so that we can pull it down. When that is done, we can finish the floor, level it and put the tiles down and then we need to tile the corner behind the shower cubicle, then fit that and then fit the new sink unit. Then it's the bathtub and then put the rest of the wall tiles up. Yes, we do have a lot of work still to be done but it's going to be so cool when it's all done.
