Today the President of Iceland came to visit the set. He was supposed to have come once before but something came up. I didn’t get to meet him because I was lying on the floor working when he came in. People seem to like him.

This is a view of my street at 8:30 this morning. Sunrise starts around nine am. The sun isn’t actually over the horizon yet, and it is 9:30.
It turns out that he was home the whole time, but didn’t hear the phone or the buzzer because he was asleep with his ear plugs in. Sigh. The poor guy is having a hard time adjusting to this time zone, which is not helped by the limited daylight hours. So, I had a nice

Rob is not in the apartment and he did not take the cellphone with him. He does, however, have the only set of keys. So, I’m locked out and have no idea how to find him. In revenge, I have taken myself to Hresso for a nice lunch and a coffee. I’ll also work on

No. Don’t get your hopes up, I’m just heading back to the apartment. David has offered to stay in and cover me today.
Well, I have no photos of Magnus’s party yet, so you can’t see Rob and me dolled up in our finery, but I can tell you that we had a good time. The theme of the party was James Bond, and everyone was either in tuxedos and evening dress or dressed as villians. It was
Yesterday we picked up Rob’s tuxedo for Magnus’s birthday party tonight. When he tried it on after we got home, it was the wrong size. So we spent a portion of today returning it and trying to get one that fit well. Fortunately the woman at the shop agreed with us that it did not

When we got up this morning, it had snowed overnight. We had walked through town yesterday and seen snow flurries, but none of it was sticking. Evidently the temperature dropped precipitously during the night. This photo was taken of the sunrise (about 10:30) out the greenroom window at the studio. And here is Rob, settling
Sarah, (who plays Trixie), has offered to cover for me tomorrow, since she’s not in this episode. Which means that I get to spend all day with Rob. I am beaming, nay, glowing with happiness at the prospect. Of course, he’s likely to sleep for the first part of the day, but–and this is embarrassingly
According to my clock, Rob left Portland ten minutes ago. I’m very, very, very excited that I will see him in less than sixteen hours. Not that I’m counting…
20,331 words which is 41% of my goal. Whee. The last three nights I’ve gone to Hresso to write. Getting out of the apartment makes it easier to focus on writing instead of tending to household chores. On the other hand, that means that it takes longer to get my laundry finished. But my novel
I feel like I’ve been beaten. Þor and I just did a scene with Ziggy that went really poorly. It was hard because we had to cover a wide distance with live hands and handle many, many props. I kept getting caught showing my head or a sleeve, it was very frustrating and physically draining.

I spent the morning bouncing between live hands. I went out on set to work as Bessie’s hands, and got suited up, when they changed their minds (something to do with lighting) . So I pulled those off and put Ziggy’s hands on. But that was wrong too, I needed to be wearing the Mayor’s
