Sisters

Bob took this picture of the girls yesterday. Quite nice.

Home, sweet home

It's good to be home! I had a flight home at 18:30 last night but because of strong winds, all flights yesterday, until early yesterday evening, were canceled. So after work I just went back to Hrefna and Þór's place and sat there, talking to them, when I got a text message saying departure was at 19:15. That was just after six and I grabbed something to eat and then left. The flight wasn't any bumpier than any other and the landing was one of the smoothest landings I've ever experienced! We landed around 8 o'clock and Bob and the girls were there to pick me up. The girls were pretty glad to see me, Sólveig Lilja insisted on holing my hand saying "I want to have you" which coming from her means that she wants me to be with her. They were pretty tired though since they are normally in bed around 8 o'clock, so it didn't take them long to fall asleep.

The poor old lady who drove into me last week has to pay for our car. Or her insurance company rather. Called them earlier on and they asked me where I'd go to have it fixed and I told them that and then he said that they'd pay for a hire car while it's done. I'm going to the garage on Friday so that they can evaluate what needs to be done.

I finished my audio book on the plane last night. Sense and Sensibility. And hopefully we'll have the DVD with the series soon so that I can watch it while it's still fresh in my mind.

England

We have booked the flight for our England trip. We'll fly there on May 3rd and return on the 11th. We have also booked the hotel for the night before we return, now we only have the car to sort out.

Our next trip is going to be to Italy. Or Orlando.

Car crash

Last Tuesday when I was driving to work, an old woman drove into the side of my car! Bloody pain it was, there's not a big damage on the car but it still is damaged and needs to be fixed. I wasn't very happy about it and neither was Bob.

Reykjavík

I'm in Reykjavík right now and will be tomorrow as well. Flew here this morning and will be working from here for these two days. I think it's important to be able to put faces to the names when you are talking to people on the phone and also, I'm now starting on quite a big project and will be working with a woman who lives here so it's useful to sit with her for a bit.

I'll be staying with Þór and Hrefna. They've fostered me before and will probably do so again.
