Poses

Took a few pictures of Kristín Lára the other day. Some of them are very good, but this one is my favourite. Here's the rest.

Silver - or even gold!

The semi finals were yesterday and first France beat Croatia, with two or three goal. Then it was Iceland and Spain. After seeing France play two days earlier, I knew that they have a fantastic team, but they never stood a chance against Iceland yesterday. We beat them 36:30 and we are in the finals, playing for the gold tomorrow morning! The boys cried and a lot of people cried with them. That is fantastic and you bet I'm watching that game!

Heiða called me on msn yesterday, they are coming here on Thursday. I'm looking very much forward to seeing her and having her here for a bit. Unfortunately, they are going back on Friday again.

I have managed to sell three of my school books the other night and that made me a few pennies. Which is very good, even better is that I don't have to buy a book for this last course.

Handball

I watched the Icelandic handball team play Poland in the quarter-finals in the Olympics this morning. The girls watched some of it with me, Sólveig Lilja stated that I wasn't supposed to shout so much but I told her that under the circumstances it was allowed to shout. Why? Yes, a medal was at stake and we still have a chance of getting one! Which is not bad, for a nation of this size. We will play either South-Korea or Spain in the semi-finals, on Friday.

Sólveig Lilja didn't get into it at all but Kristín Lára was starting to! But I bet they'd both rather be watching the Teletubbies!

"Ást á rauðu ljósi"

Last weekend there was a town festival here in Akureyri and they changed all the red traffic lights according to the theme!

Bread

A few weeks ago I got a recipe for bread with no flour, no yeast and no sugar. I've made it a few times and it is very, very good. Thought I'd post a picture of it.

Another slight change of plans

After having got together some figures for the Paris/Italy trip, we have again started talking about going to Orlando. That has always been very high up on our list of priorities and now we are looking at doing that next year and Italy some other time. The main reason is that the Italy trip would have been centered on Bob and I mostly and way less things for the girls to do, but Orlando is fantastic for kids of all ages. So we decided to see if we could save up for a good family holiday in Orlando next year. We will see how it goes. It's not exactly cheap though and we have to save up a lot for it!

Last time we were there was in November 2000 and then I took these pictures.
