relaxing...wondering!
Listening to a relaxing music while writing! ...I´m not sure what to write, but sitting down and listen to this music makes the problems and the rush-hours today just disapear. Empty the mind and just be: To be or not to be?... here I am getting in a conversation wich can lead to a 1000 page discussion about the reality, the long path we all walk on and thinking of: why we are here?But I´m not getting in to that philosophy right now I´m affraid. Not at this hour!I just want to be and getting ready for tomorrow.Þorsteinn is sleeping. He is so good and understanding...just like his father, Gunnar.He has to wake up about six o´clock and has to be at the playground about seven...competing against BI (Bolungarvik-Isafjordur football team) and he said that his team will win them so the day tomorrow will turn out well for him. He tld me that this morning his team lost 4 to 1 but hasn´t lost the spirit! which is realy good...I so want to see his team win this game tomorrow...He is the best...With these words I will say Good Night and sleep well!
The day to rush...
...o my god! This day... I am getting so tired of costumers...
The day was so busy and still is right now....just set down with a sigarett and beer to relax a bit...10 minutes rest!
At work I couldn´t rest at all because there are so many who are take their summer vaccation so I didn´t stop untill about six thirty and then I had to rush home to prepare one of the guestrooms, one of the studios. After that I was supposed to help my father beacuse his company is moving to another place....he stopped about seven o´clock this evening so I will help him tomorrow instead, waking up very early.
The guest, who were supposed to be in the guesthouse didn´t show up so the room is free to night.
enough of this, I went rollerskating from work and had to stop at "ATVR", which is one of the alcoholic stores owned by the state (don´t know the word for it) and bought six beers but met my best friend there who works there: She, Svanborg, is working there beside taking her master in "Lífefnafræði"...don´t know the word in english, not just yet! have to call her later :)
Þorsteinn competed this morning and had him self a busy day but he came home and we went to by a pizza and are going to wach tv, while eating the pizza... or work on the computer for a while.
He has to wake up very early tomorrow, about six o´clock, to be at the football play...
Have to rush and will write you some more later this evening...
have a fantastic day and evening...
The day...
...Sitting infront of the computer after a busy day! working untill half past seven and went to my mother inlaw and helped here cleaning her apertment and then make dinner and taking care of the gusethouse...mmmmhhh! a tipical day and but though it´s hard sometimes it´s so nice and infact makes you alife in some way!?!?
Þorsteinn has to wake up early tomorrow for the competion. He will be away all day and trying to beet the other teams...wixhing him good luck...he´s a great footballer so I don´t think he´ll be having problems....he is asleep now and gaining straigth!
Gunnar called me this evening after a busy day him self. The weather was great on the highlands and the french tourists had a day to remember...a lot of photo stops!
He is though counting the days...missing me and the kids alot. Me and Þorsteinn are going to give him a great dinner - no fish! but realy good meat. I think that we are going to make a barbeque if the weather is going to be great but if not we´ll cook inside...
God I am tired! I have to go to sleep and I´ll write you more tomorrow darlings...
...more? sorry,the last letter today...more tomorrow!
...There are so many things that goes through my mind when I are doing nothing! When I say; Nothing I mean; doing nothing phisical! - like last weekend, me and Gunnar did a total makeover in our litle garden...very heavy lifting and so not "gayish"...
I set down in our new garden, enjoyed the sun, while writing my goals on the computer. Its so good to set your goals and doing it so you can be flexible with time...I found out that there are so few goals but big ones, that I have to reach. I have always done this and am always changing them, but to a minimum, so I can have an overwiew and solid plans. I didn´t know why I did this but it in some way felt very good to write them down. It wasn´t untill I was introduced to Aiexec by Svanborg, that I learned about the backround and why it is good to have your goals in written words and learned alot there about having your professional goals in place without forgetting your personal goals in life...the family life!
I don´t know were I am going with this but I write as I think so that you can begin read my mind from this blogger...Do you write your goals down?
The things that I did today were getting all the e-mails in order and tryed to send some to my school and looking for wedding-sites...I am always trying to find a good site were you can download some good and affective and not too stright weeding-planning. And I assisted Þorsteinn with the things that he were doing before he went to a football-training at half past eight...I gave him fish and salad for dinner but we do not like the smell of fish and the taste but we liked this one very much...the cook of the house makes a very fine chef...five star chef!
And there is the guesthouse! I cleaned one of the studios yesterday but had to clean some glasses dishes and fill the fridge for the next guest today...
I found some wedding-sites that are somewhat different but are not likely to fit in our scedual and wedding plans...
Me and Gunnar found the colors for the wedding, or in fact Bjarney, found it! Red, blue and white...the colors in the Icelandic flag and the French. We wanted to have a mixed cultural wedding; Ice-french wedding. So far we haven´t made any other plans! But we have a very good "planner" beside us, actual there is 3 planners...Svanborg, Sigga and Elsa who are going to make it happen next year. The 14 and the 15 of July...we have alot time so we are making up a plan when there is spear time...
About leaving for France? we are hopefully going to spend christmas and summer in Iceland so that we can work...it´s hard to get some job in Paris for a short time but we´ll in the near future spend the christmas in Paris and find out how the French ones spend their x-mas...will be very nice mixing the icelandic and french x-mas - we´ll see what we´ll do!
I have so many other things to say but I´ll have to stop now and write you some more tomorrow...
Love you all
One sunny day in Reykjavik...
To day is a great day! the sun is shining on those who live in Reykjavik, but I´m not sure about the rest of the country!!!
I am sitting here infront of my computer, in side and surfing on the net, trying to get information about the american university in paris; books and some scedules...It isn´t there I think! but I´ll try anyhow!
I was thinking that I have to work on the logo for the guesthouse so that it will be easier to send ads to the newspapers and to the web...Gunnar asked me if I could think of some logo, the other day and I didn´t start untill last Saturday! I am doing fine with it so I don´t think that I´ll be having problems....
But anyway!
Telling you litle about what´s going on...Gunnar is guiding french tourists around the country in an econoline, a Ford one! It fits him very nice to be driving a big car like that! But I think he will not be buying one very soon...he left on Sunday and will be in the wilderness untill Sunday the 24 of July. Sigga, our friend, went on a similar trip but in her trip there will be more hiking and sleeping in tents...Gunnar does not like that so he askes Sigga if she could take the trip! She gladly took it and will arrive 3 or 4 days after the 24.
Edda, Gunnars, mother of Gunnars children, went to Isafjordur last week and will arrive on Friday...but Þorsteinn, the older son, he didn´t go with here because he´ll be competing in football starting tomorrow. This is a five days international football competition in Laugardalur he will be competing all days. So there is just me and him in Reykjavik...it´s fantastic!
Þorsteinn, Nonni, the young one, Gunnar and me will be leaving Iceland between the 22-27 of August...the days just fly by! It´s about 30 days before we leave...and there are so much things to do before we leave...we´ll make it fine...we can´t wait
The first and more to come...
Hello friend - visitor!
This blogg is going to be updated as soon as I have time to write. I hope you´ll enjoy it as much as I and hope you'll give comments and let me know what you are doing all day...
And in some Icelandic...
Ég vona að þið hafið gaman af þessarri síðu minni en vona að samband mitt við vini og vandamenn verði enn betri en það hefur verið td eins og í sumar. En ég er að vinna á fullu alla daga, í framkvæmdum heima, sinna fjölskyldunni minni og hjálpa fjölskyldu meðlimum um helgar og eftir vinnu...en vona að ég eigi einhvern tíma til þess að njóta þess í faðmi vina bráðum, allavega áður en ég fer aftur til Frakklands...
Góði vinur minn,
By dear good friend
Min kare gode van
Mon cher bonne ami
