Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. ~Edward Sandford Martin

We had a thanksgiving themed dinner at Steina's tonight, she made pumpkin and pecan pie, the side dishes were sweet potato and pumpkin and other autumn goodies.  Instead of turkey we had lamb and for that we are extremely thankful.  A turkey in Iceland costs over 12,000 isk. Thats 120 dollars to you down there and over there... 


Not much to report - apart from the fact that budget work is in full swing and we have even less money at our disposal.  So it's belt tightening and trying to do as much as possible for as little as possible.  Ah, the joy of being a part of politics.  I also did a first the other day - stood up and gave a little talk at the litlujól.... talked about Christmas in Australia - as you do.....


Will leave you with lots of photos from tonights dinner..


All happy and well fed we are...


 Olga and Steina in the kitchen discussing things motherly perhaps???
It´s amazing how we manage to fit into whatever space is available.

 The stars of the night - pecan and pumkin pie.... were very very tasty!
 Cousins destroying things - as you do..... Atli Björn and Finnur.
Halli, such a cuty - this is a first - he usually tries to avoid Þórdís - now she has won him over - and how did she do this - well the way all women win over men - she fed him!
