Well, Joanna keeps asking me to do a Eurovision blog so here goes ...
Me and Elijah flew over to Iceland on the Friday night and as always Elijah was a great traveller. On Saturday he spent the day with his amma Kristin and afi Freyr whilst dad was in TV rehearsals etc. I got to see him before bed though. I had a great Saturday evening with Menn Arsins playing my song in the pre Eurovision selection thingy and although we didn't win in the end and went away with nothing we all aggreed that we had stayed true to ourselves and left with our integrity intact. I know, I know ... that doesn't get you anywhere in life and it's a common exuse when a musician doesn't get what he wants but I still believe it's true. Anyway, if you want to watch Menn Arsins and myself preforming the song on the TV programme just click on the link below.

Elijah is also looking forward to the fact that after father christmas has come and after we've been to Iceland for new year he will be going to 'normal school'. That is to say, he is going to be joining the nursery at Jolyons school and he is really looking forward to that 'cos he's a big boy now.
Jolyon is still enjoying his football and after a small spell of loosing his place in the first team, as we were away in Malta, he has regained it and is, rightfully so, very proud of himself. Him and dad went to Old Trafford last monday and watched his team, Manchester United, beat Fulham 2-0. For someone who isn't into football, his dad certainly sees a lot of games.
Joanna is enjoying work more now and has some colleagues to work with that have really taken the pressure off. She used to be doing two jobs on her own but the other post has now been filled and all is looking good.
Anyway, time to blog off for now. We'll try and write more frequently but I make no promises.
