Not just another day!

I needed a break today and something totally different - and that´s just what I got (thank you, Douglas!).

We went to the Afturelding-Fram handball match - I´m afraid Afturelding lost but they can at least console themselves with the fact that they held their own most of the match (though Fram were a much classier outfit, I´m afraid) - and in the end, they only lost by 6 points - could have been worse!

So after an hour sweat and testosterone, off to the contemporary elegance of the new Mosfellsbakarí - same old luscious food and coffee - snazzy new location - beautifully done!

Then back to Douglas´ pastoral paradise to crash out - and of course explore his phenomenal classical CD and DVD collection. Highlights included a fabulously directed, acted and performed aria from Handel´s Giulio Cesare; the damnation scene from Mozart´s Don Giovanni (makes my hairs stand up every time); and a revelatory performance of Beethoven´s Waldstein and Appassionata sonatas on an original fortepiano - tempest and lightning indeed!!!

And after such a mix of testosterone and intellectual stimulation, clearly the only choice was a brain-dead action thriller - in all the glory of Blu-Ray - S.W.A.T. ;-)
