Update


Another weekend is over, gee they go quickly these days.... where did it go and what have I done since last Tuesday....

Big news is that Olga and Ross have both started work at the fish factory, the above photo is borrowed from the Fisk Seafood website from when the president and his wife came to visit.  Olga is working at a workstation just like this.

While Ross is threading fish heads that will then be hung out to dry.  The technique is called Seila. 

I am still in semi procrastination mode, so there is not much to report from my neck of the woods.  Mums car was put into the garage over the weekend to de-frost, hopefully no damage was done, however the temps did go down to minus 10 on Thursday night.  Tomorrow or Tuesday Maggi and I will take the car to its winter home, where it will be kept warm and dry until next spring when I promise I will be a better daughter and take mum out on weekend jaunts in the Freyjamobile. 

The slaughter season is almost over and so the winter duties commence, beginning with working out to which Christmas buffet one must go.  So far I have two on the burner, one with work over on the other side of the fjord - have decided to take ma, and we will stay overnight.  This is at Sveitasetrið see the details on http://hofsstadir.is/hotel/ This one is planned for the 10th of december.  The other one that is in formulation is on the 4th.  The extended family will be going to Miðgarð, where there will be feasting, entertainment and dancing.  Should be good.  

In other news Ross and I are trying to make our own wine.... the start wasn't good, we read the instructions - but forgot to follow them.  Stay tuned over the next four weeks to see how that all turns out.

Maggi leaves for Aus this week, yet another to attend the wedding of Maja and Jason, I will be there in spirit and look forward to all the updates on blogs and facebook as well as hopefully lots of photos from the event and the trips of Maggi, Jóhanna, Guðný, Stebbi and Finnur.  

On the political front, things within the council are hotting up.  One of the minority party reps lost the plot last week.... I will devote more time to this as things unravel.

stay tuned... or not....
