On the farm

We went shopping on Saturday and among other things that we got, were these Dora shirts. See here for more pictures.

I took the girls to the farm yesterday. We went berry picking with my mother and then I put a saddle on one of the horses and the girls got go ride a little bit. I think they loved it, seeing their grandparents, picking berries and riding.

See here for more pictures.

I was painting the ceiling (kitchen, living room, dining room and landing) this weekend and except for a couple of minor holidays, it's finished. Then we've got the walls to paint and some preparation work for that as well. It's going to be quite some work but it'll look good when it's finished.

It's been a while...

...since I last wrote here. We went to Reykjavík the first weekend in August and on the way we dropped off Muggles. He's no longer with us, he now lives with his father on a farm near Borgarnes. It was the right decision to let him go, I'm sure he is much happier where he is now and even if it felt strange the first few days without him, it's like we have now got our home back. The laundry room is no longer full of dirt every day and my plants are getting back to normal now.

We stayed with my uncle Þór and his wife Hrefna. They have taken care of me before and it is always so good to see them. Þór is someone I value a lot for his knowledge of things and other qualities and Hrefna is one of these people who does things without making a big deal of them. We went there on Friday and back on Monday and we had a great time there. I met a couple of my cousins there and also my friend Ásta, who I haven't seen for probably 5 years now!

On Thursday Sólveig Lilja started her new play school. It remains to be seen if it is better or worse than the old one but the walk there is better, that's for sure. She seems to like it there. I took these pictures of the girls on Friday morning before Sólveig Lilja went to school and that picture of her is on her shelf there.

We have started preparations for painting the living room/kitchen area and up to the landing. Ceiling and walls. Ceiling is going to be white and walls grayish blue. Hopefully I'll be able to do the ceiling this weekend at the latest althougth I was toying with the idea of starting tonight. We'll see.
