Birthday girl with pabbi

I just think that picture of Kristín Lára and her father is so cute.

Kristín Lára's birthday

Kristín Lára is two years old today. This picture is taken of her first thing this morning when she got her birthday present. We had quite a few people over, her grandparents came, her aunties and cousins, her godmother Áska, her great auntie Þrúða and her greatuncle Gúmbi and Sigrún and my cousins Lilla and Bogga and Haukur. We had a very nice day, out on the deck most of the time in the sun.

A very good day - and I am tired!

Fat fighting

As usual, I went to my weekly weighing on Tuesday. After two bad weeks I had a very good week, got rid of two kilos! Not bad.

The new neighbours have been driving us crazy for the last few days. Sawing and banging until late at night. Last night they had stopped and Bob and I were both falling asleep when they started again and it was almost 11 o'clock! And when this happens, it takes us a while before we can go back to sleep again. We are just hoping that it will soon stop since they are moving in on Saturday.

Speaking of Saturday, it's Kristín Lára's birthday on Saturday. I just hope the weather will be nice so that people can stay outside on the deck.

Busy days

We have had a busy few days lately. And very nice. On Saturday we finished up our exchange student's bedroom so that it would be ready for him when he arrived. Tommi brought us the wood for the bottom of it and the wood for the balcony rail that we are now replacing. I tried to take it in the car but it was too big so I asked him to pick it up. The weather was wonderful, almost 20°C and sunny so we spent most of the day outside.

On Sunday we picked up Karl. He seems to be a nice kid and the girls love him :) He came with me and the girls over to Ella's yesterday for the boys' birthday party and I heard the girls giggle when he was playing with them. They didn't want to come home when I wanted to but I'm bigger than they are - and got help. Borrowed Tommi's drill, ours are not wide enough for the drill bit that we need to put the rail. I took yesterday off, the weather was good again and we were just working around the house and getting some bits and pieces that we needed. Got window sills for the living room windows, hopefully we will be able to put them up soon. Balcony rail is next, then we're also planning to paint the woodwork around the front door - and the rail needs to be painted. It's been nice to fix things around the house to make it look nicer and more useful if you can say that.

Sólveig Lilja wasn't too happy with Karl sleeping in their new room and wanted him to leave. But that was just the first night. The first night Kristín Lára also went out of bed and into his room and said when I caught her that she was just closing the closet! Little devil.

Loved this song as well, here's their website, A-ha. Here's my favourite Duran Duran song. Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight was also one. Billy Idol and Rebell Yell. Prince and Purple Rain.

Thank you YouTube.

Red, red wine

I came across this video on YouTube just now. It's one of my favourite songs of all times. Here is their website.

Six down, four to go

I passed one of the tests I took in April but failed the other one :( Math. So I had to resit the test and I have just found out that I passed it :) So that's the end of the math studies for me, what a relief. I now have four more subjects to go to get my BSc.
