I am still here


A few things have been going on although I haven't been writing much. First of all, Lappi has been visiting for a couple of times with great success. Then, I found a house and plot that I am now wondering if I should put in an offer for, for then to break down the house and build another one. Hence I have been finding out all sorts of info for the price of preparing a plot and the prices of building a new house. Well, a girl is allowed to dream, right? Apart from this, my time is spent on tax returns and knackered staring into space.

Update

Yeeello! You might think that nothing much has been happening in Hella. This is untrue, as last weekend I got a delivery of my furniture from Copenhagen and me and the gang (Sverrir, mum and dad) managed to get them all in from the snow without much trouble. Earlier in the day we had a crazy snowstorm and I was getting a wee bit worried that things would all get wet and horrible. I even managed to get thoroughly stuck in the snow during my rounds and had to get a farmer to pull me up with his tractor.

However, we did get everything in really quickly and then had a nice evening, with mum and dad staying the night as the first couple of nightguests (apart from Sverrir). On Saturday we went to a riding competition in great winter weather of stillness and sun. Walked back home and had coffee and kept on putting things away and finding places for all my stuff.

Sunday I gave a little talk at a horse sales show and then made pancakes for my friends Diljá and Kristinn who were on a little drive in the countryside and were so sweet as to visit. A great weekend, I need more of those.

This weekend I am going into town, attending the opening of a photography exhibition as well as a punk concert. This means that I have to dig deep for my fancy clothes, they never get used here in Hella. I always look like a tramp these days! Anyway, should be good.
