3 days to go! 

Very nice! I have at least got one reader!! Hope you enjoy it Don...
In only 3 days the strike that I talked about earlier will become a fact! I am very nervous because of it -to say the least! On the other hand it will be quite nice to get some days off work!! Hey... maybe I'll even do some of the things I am always planning to do! But there is a very strange kind of moral at school these days. You don't want to start any big project because most likely you won't be able to finish it before the strike will start! On the other hand you cannot let that control you and so I am giving the kids homework that I know I will most likely have forgotten all about when I will meet them again!! Strange moral... very strange!

Now, I don't think I have told the world that me and Vilborg met Leslie at Kirkjubaejarklaustur this summer... We were shopping and he and Simona were there so we just bumped into each other! What a nice surprise! I just could't belive it, I turned around and there he was... and hadn't changed a bit! I must say that I found it kind of funny that me and Vilborg happened to be on the road together when we bumped into them!! Life is just full of things like that now aren't they?

At last I must tell you about the concert I went to on Friday. It was the annual concert that Hordur Torfason -an Icelandic favorite of mine- gave. He was issuing a new record which is more or less about people who he calls I-landers!! They live on the wonderful island -I- which is situated somewhere between the right side and the left side of the brain! And the constitution of I-land is just wonderful!! It is actually so interesting that I am going to translate it for you... Hope you enjoy!

1. Everyone except I-landers are idiots.
2. Everything is others fault.
3. Noone is more clever, better or wiser than an I-lander
4 Ilanders can do what he likes and say what he likes when he likes and like he wants to do so.
5. Who ever does anything other than what I-landers want, or does things in another way than I-landers prefer, has made himself guilty of offensive behaviour and it does not matter whether that person knew about the will of I-landers or not.
6. Whoever feels well or is doing good must have stolen something from an I-lander and should be punished according to the crime.
7. Whoever is bigger or more of a man than an I-lander must be belitteled in every possible way.
8. All who are different from I-landers in looks and/or way of thinking shall be exported immediately.
9. I-landers will decide what is true.
10. When an I-lander says he is invisible then he is so!
11. I-landers are always in charge, no matter who says otherwise and how many may say so, because it is completly beside the point.
12. I-lander is an island and is therfore not interested in other people than himself.
13. I-landers always take the shortest way.
14. An I-lander can always afford to complain about their circumstances.
15. Those who are not happy with the constitution of I-land are not I-landers and are therfore bound by these laws and must respect it in all ways. I-landers on the other hand are free to interpret it as they like.
16. No there is no paradox in paragraph 15. Idiot!

I think it must be wonderful to live in I-land!!

Well, I am going to leave it like this for now!!
