Went to a nice gathering at the embassy for the James Cook people. Kids were happy to go an visit friends. Looking forward to going to the summer house tommorrow.
Happy to do one hour and a half on the bicycle, getting the heart to pump abit and the legs to ache.

Holiday days

Breakfast meeting with the people from the James Cook Ocean Youth Trust who are visiting Iceland with their boat.
Cloudy weather for the holidays.
Kids are happy playing cards and have learnt lots of new games.

Cycling with Bekka

It was a beautiful summers evening. Clear skies and no breeze. I went jogging out to the beach and back (in new jogging shirt). Bekka came with on the bike. Smiles and chatting.

6 km !!!!

Ruby Tuesday

Superman the movie. Superman the verdict. Great SF, brilliant photograhy, very long (almost never ending), good music and openning credits, flat story and characters.
Steini and Steinþor came along aswell, good to see them
Then to Ruby Tuesdays. A special treat to celebrate all the good things that have happened in these past two weeks. Well done us!

Bicycle ride with Sandra

GOAAAAAL !!!!!

Eirikur scored his first goal today! And then scored another. Awesome. Go Eirikur!!!
Many hands make light work. House Rule 5 was invoked and in 15 mins the house was set straight, neat tidy and clean. Just in time to have a nice supper, a new recipe called “Karma Chameleon Chicken”. Thanks guys!
Sandra went to the zoo today and had grilled hot-dogs. Tomorrow is swimming for her.
I have permission to say that Bekkas new hair-cut is cool. She looks really lovely.

Supernova rage

Today is another beautiful sunny day. I am in the office today, although things are very quiet as most people are away on holiday. A tremendous evening sunset, clear sky, no wind and bright orange sun setting over the glacier. Transcendental
The running is flowing well now
I am supporting Magni on Rockstar Supernova. So are the kids ! Go guy !!! I think that he made a good performance last night and deserves to continue.
Monster eirikur pulled the door handle off today. There is one strong young man. Also today is the day that Eirikur got respect on the field of play. Resp’kt

Stars Wars

The Dark Lord, Eirikur Van Vader, vanished the Jedi knight, Dad, in an epic imperial star battle. Play stations rocks, but I still can´t drive a droid battle cruiser.

Lines in Sand ?

How the middle east could look.

Aye monn! This is way too serious.

Swimming Poll afternoon

Perfect weather today, blue skies and sunshine. Spent along time at the pool.
World cup action with the lads.
Great Burgers at Dora´s. Thank you !!!!!
Eirikur and Daði got on really well, bonding over the eye-toy stuff.

Constables

Lovely hot sunshine, at last. I have an opportunity to sit outside and even sun bathe.
Sandra and I went down to the beach to do some landscape painting. Its good to get the paint box out from time to time. Slowly but surely I am working my way through Robert Fisk´s new book about the Middle East. It´s very enjoyable and brings back memories of up driving the Salang Road into Kabul from Jalahbad.

Huff and Puff

Have been practicing for the R run and trying to get back into form. The first days are always the worst, but I dont remember it being this bad ! Gently does it and hopefully I will not harm anything before the race.

Grilling skills are still okay though....... Big burgers are good.

Small world cup party !

Attended an interesting one day seminar on European Union Funding at the University of Reykjavik learning the “ins and outs” of making funding proposals.
Had fun watching the World Cup on a big screen with the Kids and friends, and later hanging with Beks.

Summer courses

Kids are off to a flying start with their summer courses. Eirikur was off, out in the sun all day with the football guys.
Sandra is in Melaskoli doing a mini olympic today.
Mondays is OC day, and so Rebekka was very much in attendence. Good Food Cooking featured. The new style of roast potatoes were very popular. Sandra was a great help with the “bonus” shopping.
Everybody slept very well !!!

"Sick as a Parrot, Brian"

Anna is off to america, I dropped her off at the airport. Then football...A black day for the world cup !!! England where knocked out. I watched the match at Simons house with a group of guys from Hull who had come to visit. The I went for a run around the ness, training for the Rekjavik run which will be in August.
Kids came over around nine and now just chillin' big time.
