After the trip we went to visit my friends. They have so many things to play with and their own pool on the veranda. It was so much fun I didn't notice Dad forgot to bring Mom.

If you're not allowed to have pizza go and fetch some when no one sees you. Dad took away most of the pizza slices before I had time to hide them under my bed though.
I went travelling with Dad this weekend. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Visit your friend. Go play in their bathroom. Make her splash with the water in the toilet while you try to fill it up with the things you find around you.

Set the alarm in your phone (or your Dad's) to 7AM on a Saturday morning. Hide it. Wake up at 6AM so you get to to go to sleep again in Mom and Dad´s bed. When the music starts at 7AM make dance movements with your hands. Wake them up with your dancing every 10 minutes. They'll never be able to find it to turn the snoozing off.

Go somewhere where they have lots of old phones lying around (your dad's old job). Play with everything that is within 1m height. Start going through the drawers and throw unnecessary stuff into the bin like their CD collection. Then they will give you a phone just distract you.

Most embarrassing thing of the day: The tourists in the shower of the swimming pool where we went swimming tonight. They went into the shower with their swimming suites on despite the signs in all possible languages telling tourists not to. In Iceland we don't fill our pools up with chlorine so your considered a serious threat if you try to contaminate our pools without soaping high and low before you plunge. The pool guard spotted them from the behind a window in the next room as she was knitting a sweater and came running. They didn't get it at first so the pool guard simply went from explaning to an angry: "TAKE IT OFF!!!" Ouch.
Tip of the day: Why bother putting different shapes through the holes of your sorting box when you can open it from the other side and load it up with stuff in no time? Just because we're children doesn't mean we have all the time in the world. I have tried to put baby carrots through the holes though. These things don't seem to come with a carrot shaped hole at all. Carrots fit through all the holes.

Today Mom and I went to watch birdfights. When you go on the weekends there is so much bread floating around the pond the birds just couldn't pay less attention. Today however we had a disturbingly large cloud of screaming seagulls just over our heads getting ready to attack. A bunch big swans in a life-and-death fight over our old bread were trying to bite each others necks off. One crocked swan had obviously lost one or two bread fights before. And all the cute ducks had to go to sleep hungry tonight.

This is what the New Icelandic krona will look like. It's not mine I borrowed it from the Reykjavík Grapevine.

What happened to Iceland? Today Mom took me for a walk so that I could wave at all the foreign reporters. Iceland is now for sale on eBay.The Prime Minister has lifeguards. If you go to a bank they have security guards watching you, something you hardly ever saw before. One of the banks had a priest on duty. Great Britain used an anti terrorist law on us. Hopefully they could also put in a word to have the people responsible for all this sent to Guantánamo. Some people are quiet lucky. They only face 30% inflation and payments on home loans increased by up to 50%. Others also lost their jobs and all their savings.
