I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. ~Douglas Adams

I was looking for a quote about finishing something, completion etc... found nothing... and then saw the Douglas Adams quote, now that was a fine and strange mind.  


Today was a productive day at work, probably the first all week, I even managed to put in a full day there - no meetings or distractions, even limited time surfing the net.. Amazing.  So I was all pepped up when I got home - went and did some shopping and then came home and cooked a lamb curry.  All my curries are the same - no recipe - just every spice in the cupboard, chili, ginger, garlic, onions, mushrooms, lamb and potatoes... 


I got a surprise guest for dinner - Kristine from Hólar (Swedish head of the tourism studies department), she had to kill some time in S'krók and so decided to come visit - was so happy that she decided to come here - I like the fact that people feel comfortable in coming here and even happier when I can feed them.  The curry was good - the company good, a good day overall... The best bit about today though is that I have finished this task of writing a blog everyday.  I can't understand how people can do this.  But well done them!


So, in other news, this coming weekend I will be all on my lonesome - with the doggy... Olga and Ross are finally having a honeymoon, mum is going to her sisters and Guðný is at her mums... Maggi is coming to dinner tomorrow night so at least I get to feed someone!

Congratulations on your bloggy month. You did very well. I don't think I could do it. I can talk a blue streak but I don't think I could come up with something to write about on a daily basis.

Hey thanks for that, you could tell that with me - so hard to think of crap to write about.... especially when everyday is basically the same... now that I have done it though it should be time for someone else to take over - want to take the challenge?

Well done...you made it!

Don't forget you are coming to my place for dinner Sat night.

Good work on the bloggy month!

Kristine is nice, I like her - her Icelandic/English combinations sound so much like the way we talk, she fits right in at the dinner table!

I think you'll enjoy the weekend to yourself so much you won't want any of us back :)
