The Giant Carrot
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?

Lighting Away from Home – Chanukah with Aish
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,

Some Other Day – short story
Shall we go back to a new short story once a week? This is something I wrote a while ago, but I’m reworking it to submit. Here are the first thirteen lines. Let me know if you want to read more. Some Other Day By Mary Robinette Kowal           The summer

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

And now it’s sleeting
See, what did I tell you. The blue sky never lasts long.

Weather report
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.
Flowers
I still don’t have pictures of the people, but this is one of the flower arrangements that I made for my Christmas party.
Yogagony
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.
Steve is gone
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.
Christmas Party
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
Wandering about.
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
Starting later
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
Steve is here
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.
Steve arrives tonight
My brother, Steve, gets in at 10:40 tonight. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll be able to pick him up at the airport. I should have told him to bring a good book, because we’ll be hanging out at the studio a lot tomorrow. Still haven’t worked yet today. I have, however, written another chapter

Waiting for work
We weren’t called in until eleven o’clock today. It’s now 6:30 and we’ve done nothing. I think Þor did some work with Ziggy earlier, but the rest of us are twiddling our thumbs. On the plus side this gave me time to drop my laundry off at the cleaners. I normally do my own laundry
