Monday, Monday...

I've had visitors from Iceland here with me since Thursday (mostly) and it has been very enjoyable. We've had food from all over the world, Edda Lára brought with her Appelsín (Icelandic orange soda) which my kids really liked, I only got one sip :( so if anyone is about to send me a parcel I'd like more Appelsín and Gotti cheese. Scots are strange in the sense that they are obsessed with cheddar which is not good for cutting with a real Icelandic cheesecutter and just doesn't taste as well as Gouda. Or at least that is what my kids think, being lactose intolerant makes me stay away from dairy although I do fall for the temptation of tea and toast once in a while (going off track here sorry)...

Not much has been done outside of the home however we've really enjoyed being together and we've been playing cards and on Saturday we bought two puzzles so there have been sessions in that. We've taken turns on sitting at it and it reminds me of my childhood. It's my brain aerobics.

As wonderful it is to have visitors it kinda sets me off track with my studies - I find it hard to concentrate on that and prefer to spend time with my friends... but as we say in Iceland "þetta reddast" - roughly translated "it will work out".

I've been meaning to create a page about Edinburgh where I'd do a review on different things that I've tried here, be it restaurants, cafes, cinemas, shops etc. Sort of My guide to Edinburgh :)

I'm really just ranting uncoherently and so I stand up and go make coffee. On my return to the computer there will be no more blogging only studying :)

ps. I seem to think in songs, songs pop into my head very easily on the mention of things. So for the fun of it just this morning I've thought of "It's just another manic Monday...", "Monday, Monday, la la , la la la la." so use the comments and give me more songs..."Tell me why I don't like Mondays..." and so on...
