Summer is here
Today is the first day of summer, which is a national holiday in Iceland. I really needed a day off after a hectic shift last weekend so am enjoying time for myself. Unusually enough this day is actually quite summery, with me being able to work in the garden in shorts without being cold, even though it has been raining once in a while. Was out doing the beds I hadn't done yet, transplanting tomato plants and playing with the compost. Sverrir was raking the lawn and Lappi was playing with a ball so we were looking like a proper suburbian nightmare!

Diary of a drug smuggler
Wow...being a reporter must be great-all the fantastic pieces of information you get to relay to your fellow citizens, making you feel like it's all worth it. The reporter who has been following the bowel movements of the Belgian drug smuggler caught at Keflavík Airport last week must be experiencing his proudest moment to date.
I kid you not, we have been informed of his bowel movements (or the lack thereof) a couple of times a day since his capture, as if the nation actually is at the edge of our seats waiting to see if he poops. And by the way, he managed to escape on the way from customs to radiology at Keflavík Hospital and was found trying to move his bowels in somebody's storage room. And finally, sometime tonight he managed to poop some drugs through his arsehole and this means we can all go to bed happy and relaxed...oops, actually not yet, as they don't know if he needs to go some more!

Easter will be cozy
Met my newest niece at the weekend. The lovely Ásta is in Iceland for the first time, as she was born in Shanghai in December. Her entourage of course includes her two brothers Boggi and Örn, who to my relief are just as sincere and boisterous as ever, and the parents Hekla and my big bro Magnús. Fantastic to see them all and now we are looking forward to staying in a cottage together over Easter with everyone else, including my other lovely niece, Charlotta Karen. So the next three days at work should be easy peasy lemon squeezy!
