They say that since my sister was born just before New Year's she'll spend her whole life trying to catch up with all of those kids of her year that were born before her. She is quiet determined not to waste any time. She started to move backwards a month ago getting stuck under the sofa in the background if you left her for just a minute. Now at five months she moves back and forth and towards things, or towards you if she wants to be picked up. Or you'll even find her in the next room. It's hard to get her dressed she is always going somewhere. She refuses to lie down in the carrycot when we go for walks or sit in her babysitter. That's just for babies.

the volcano proof net for the pram. Reykjavik domestic airport (within easy walking distance) is also closed now because of the eruption.

The new eruption is here. There was a group of people staying overnight that left the cabin yesterday at noon just a couple of hours before the eruption started.

I visited my friends in the countryside this weekend to see the little lambs being born.
