We would like to change Iceland into waterland. The tempuratures have jumped up to eight, ten degrees C. and snow is melting, ice is melting and heavy rainstorms toement the land. So we got floods in the north and in the south. In selfoss the water is lapping at the river shores. To see more, click on mbl.is.
Today was my last working day until the third of next year. At school we danced around the christmas tree and sang, two jólasveinar (st, clauses) came and danced with us and is was all very nice and christmas nice. Then all the teachers of the school went out to eat at a cold buffet down town and I stuffed myself as I haven´t done for along time and will surely not do for a long time again. But somehow, with a wine glass and nice chattering around I forgot my limits. Monika was my driver and I rushed home and fell into bed, slept, forgot (!) my gym lesson and did without dinner.
Tommorrow I have scheduled to make the house christmas like, do the washing and engage in things like that. In the evening we will cut laufabrauð. Open house, come have a try and a glass of wine!
As for now I will finish knitting and watch tv, after that I will snuggle in bed and read this:
a story set in 1725, very readable and shows the philosophy and understanding of science at that time.
AND the picture of the day, south iceland on a cold and clear day. Eyjafjallajökull, a glacier, the view from my daughter´s kitchen window.
