We woke up this morning to a voice down the road shouting something loudly into a ‘gjallarhorn’. After turning over a couple of times cursing the noise we went to the window to see what was going on. As it turns out there were loads of people, equipment, cranes, fires, smoke and what have you not all over the place, and a bossy guy shouting into their midst and we realized they were filming and apparently is was a Hollywood movie called “Knowing“. Once we realiased there were famous actors (yes, Suzy got very excited as she finds Nicolas Cage very handsome) and lots of action down the road annoyance turned into curiosity. It was quite fun having something like this happening in the street so we kept tabs on what was going on throughout the day, but disappointingly Nic never came over to say hi, must have been too busy.
I have been very lazy writing on the blog lately. My main excuse is that we are in the middle of winter. Even though it is quite warm during winter compared to back home, winter here still slows you down and makes you lazy. I have been looking everywhere for bookshelves that I am happy with and when I finally found them, of course they had to cost about $4.000 (200.000 isk). So, after months of searching we went back to the original idea and got a cheap thingy for IKEA. Our books have not been comfortably placed in nice bookshelves for over 2 years now so it was a monumental relief to get them into the cheap but nice IKEA shelves.
