Holy Days

It has been the Easter season, as we all know. This is also associated with numerous days off. However, this year in Iceland, it was the week after Easter that was riddled with public holidays. Ok, maybe not public holidays, but they were definitely Me Holidays. And for good reason.


When the snow's away, the mice can play!

Monday (Game of Thrones Day)
8 am – 5 pm              Thought about studying. Brain malfunctioned.
5 pm – late                Ate. Game of Thrones. Pictionary.


Good morning Sunshine! 

Tuesday (ANZAC Biscuit Day)
8 am – 2 pm              Thought about studying. Brain called in sick.
