A visit to my friend Sif





Today I visited Sif and her daughters. Hilda and Steingrímur were with me and we brought some cake :-) Little Eyrún was wary of the visitors, but I managed to hold her for a couple of minutes before she started screaming for her mother. Some pictures follow:

Costume party/ball pictures





Costume party/ball !!

Last Saturday I went to a costume party/ball! I went as the bride of Frankenstein (very befitting, I know). The evening started at Júlíana's place with a couple of Mohitas. Then we went to at party at Tommi's place. Tommi was dressed as Borat and he offered us shots of Topas snafs repeatedly. Soon the party was filled with people in diverse funny costumes :-) The ball itself was in Álftanes and a bus came to the party to pick us up. It was great fun, feast your eyes on the pictures :-)
