We’re only in for three hours today. They had to wrap one of the cast members last night before we finished the shots we needed to do, so we all agreed to come in for a quick session this morning. It’s getting down to the wire here.

Þor brought in the photos he took of my Christmas party. We’ll start with a picture of Steve, seriously underdressed, but then he wasn’t expecting a black tie gathering. That’s Mark Reed next to him. Caroline is in the foreground. In good Chattanooga tradition the buffet was loaded with food. We had to use both
I love my job. I was just did live hands for Ziggy who was attacked by a giant carrot. Can a girl have more fun?
David, the puppeteer who plays the mayor, is Jewish and his wife sent him a menorah so he could celebrate Hanukah here. I was looking for the prayers for him (he’d forgotten one) and stumbled upon Lighting this page. I thought David was in trouble, at first, because he’s been lighting the candles at work,

I keep going on about skyr and finally found a website that explains the national dish of Icelanders.

See, what did I tell you. The blue sky never lasts long.

The weather has been really blustery and rangeing from rain to snow. Today I can see blue sky if I look straight up, but the clouds are moving so quickly that I don’t know how long it will last.
I still don’t have pictures of the people, but this is one of the flower arrangements that I made for my Christmas party.
I went to Yoga this morning for the first time in two weeks. Agony. I mean, it’s only a sort of mild pain from stretching muscles that don’t believe they should move farther than they do. But it’s good for me, builds character.
Well, Steve has headed back to London. Quite by chance, Andrew is on the same flight back. In case you wonder why it has taken me till Monday to update my weblog, it’s simply because Steve needed to be on my computer at every spare moment to check basketball scores…hmm.
Steve came to Iceland to chop vegetables. Really, I just wanted to provide a Christmas dinner that was as much like the family gathering in Chattanooga as possible so my brother chopped things, swept and move furniture. We had twenty-one people for dinner, which was quite the feat in my tiny apartment. Actually the bigger
Steve and I spent today wandering around town. We did some prep work for the party tomorrow, but most of the daylight hours were spent in downtown Reykjavik. We stopped at the Parliament building. And then went to the lake behind it. That’s town hall behind Steve. Strangely, he only asked for his picture in
I didn’t have to come to work today until 4:45. Steve and I joined a group of the cast at Culture House for brunch. Afterwards we went shopping for groceries (ooooh) and came to work. We were going to go the Blue Lagoon, but there wasn’t quite enough time to fit that in. I’ve sent
His flight was delayed, but he has arrived safe and sound. We’re having quite a bit of snow tonight; there was none this morning and now everything is covered. I’m on will-notify tomorrow, which means that I might have most of the day off.
