"its a land of confusion..."

..who sang that song, does anybody remember cos its just signifies where we are all upto at the moment?
On Friday T and I had a lovely night out-we had a very posh (and very long-and-drawn-out) meal at Hotal Nordica and then we went to see Sixties play. And not only did T get up on stage with his old band ("this song is written by one of the founding members, Þórarinn Freysson, who can´t actually remember how to play it!") but he also danced the night away with his wife..much to the amusement of his former band members. And we didn´t to bed until 3am and even managed to squeeze in a lie-in and a walk up half a mountain the next day, before doing more family stuff with our 2 Best Boys (phew!).
And then we all started with varying degrees of colds, coughs and throat/chest infections :-(
J went to his friends house after school on Friday and brought Sebastian and Robert home yesterday which was good and he met his friend from Greenland too, who lives nearby so J was feeling much more positive yesterday. E is growing up, loves his new red boots (Mummy rescued him from the boring navy blue ones that Daddy had chosen!) and loved hanging out with the big boys yesterday.
And as for yours truly?Well..I just want to go home and be with family and friends and go to work on a regular basis and go to the gym and have a more demanding and fulfilling lifestyle in general...as much as I love my boys (all 3 of them) I also love meeeting friends, working-out and doing things of my own chosing. At the moment all I do is fill the day until everyone comes home :-(
T feels bad about this as he is enjoying being around friends..J is up and down about the whole thing (on Sunday he said "I'm just fed-up of the whole thing" but is preferring life in RVK compared to Garður) and E is a happy and jolly little soul :-)
We still don't know wehere we are upto with residence permits..according to the website we need to provide copies of a custody agreement but we have never had one and never needed one..and the icelandic authorities tend to interpret things in a very black-and-white fashion...so just watch this space...
And so from this land of confusion to everyone we know and love, we send you all our very best wishes...lots of love J,T,J and E xxxxxx

  • The Genesis sang Land of Confusion where the lyrics went:

    Theres too many men
    Too many people
    Making too many problems
    And not much love to go round
    Cant you see
    This is a land of confusion.

    is that the one you mean?
