Eirikurs Mandelas

Heat

Everybody is going totally mad about the weather in Iceland, and why not ? Finally summer, really clear skys and hot hot hot (relatively speaking!). Get it whilst its there....... use it or lose it I say........see you in the garden.

Kids have started their summer school activites. Theya are doing a gymnastics/sport summer day camp at Gerplar. There are lots of trampolines, mats and foam cushions to jump into and then room for outside activites and access to the pool. Sandra and Eirikur enjoyed their first day, slept like logs and in the morning discovered muscles that they never thought they had.

17 June National Holiday in Iceland

Sunday was 17 of June and the National Day of Iceland; parades in centre of town, flags and all. Sunday was also exam day, which I did in the morning. Four hours of frantic typing can make your fingers sore and I wish that I was able to touch type. I have been wanting to learn for years but have never managed. Is this dog to old to learn a new trick?

In the afternoon I went to visit hafnafjorður with Gugga for a coffee and a chat. Then it was and evening of competition. The Icelandic National Handball team beat Serbia in an exciting match. Afterwards I went to watch Real Madrid beat Mallorca. , Beckham and co and Tom Cruise in the crowd. What’s not to watch?Evening was topped of with some more reading and then sleeeeeeeep

Exam time

These days are so taken up with reading for exams. Read, read, read, read ! The first of the four exams was this morning, another tomorrow and two more in the week. But men has to eat, and that is a good thing especially when he is invited to a B-B-Q in the countryside. Did get an invite to the Atlanta Girls reunion bash in Kollo.

Yesterday I drove Anna and Iris junior to the airport. They are off to vist Erla and Co in Danmark and I hope they have a super time.

Carmen and Cake

Last Sunday we celebrated Anna´s birthday with chocolate cake and cake and more cake ! On Thursday, as a birthday treat we went to listen to Carmen at the Icelandic Symphony. I have been humming “Toreadore” since and can´t get it out of my head.

3BT - tea in bed, listening to the dishwash and knowing that the kitchen is clean, and sunny mornings.

Vorhátið

Eirikur and Sandra performed beautifully in their school´s spring show. Then Eirikur went on to be master hotdog chef and Sandra got herself inside the dragon for the parade.

Rebekka is on her way to Mexico. We got a blow by blow account of the various take-offs and landings via SMS. Way to go, Beks.

The White Sunday weekend

Playing mind games with the fish..... and it works.....

We went with friends to stay over in a summer house and enjoy some country air. There was a trampoline, cross country croquet and fish to eat. The sun allowed for breakfast on the deck which was gorgeous. The good weather carried over so that the boys could enjoy a good round of golf on the local golf course and enjoy the veiw of the snow covered mountains. What a lovely weekend!

The First day of Summer.

The First Day of summer was a glorious day after the Crime party, in which I took the role of the Bulter who didn’t do it, but who did do the B-B-Qing. We are not, although, entirely innocent, since Tabitha, played by Anna Bryndis did do it, and very nearly got away with the perfect crime. But now its summer and so to celebrate we went to the pool and then had coffee with the Reykjavik branch and RC volunteers from the Gambia.

We cleaned the car, and cleaned it again.... all to wash away the accumulated winter crime. What a winter !!!! The Car will need another cleaning.

Sveinn Runar and Hjördís had b’days this weekend.

Hippy bathday !

Bye the way...

The Easter joint turned out well this year, longer in the oven at a much lower heat. And also tastes better because of the efforts of dads kitchen helper, Sandra. Thanks Sandra.
