Buzy day

Today is women's day off so to speak. 39 years ago today woman's right movement in Iceland encouraged women every where to take the day off to point out their contribution to the working society.

Every year it is commemorated in some way but this year it seems like it was forgotten. I on the other hand I took the day off at noon to attend a symposium at the university. It was because of 100 year anniversary of the beginning of the Great war. There were two great key note speakers with Icelandic scholars speaking as well. Very interesting. Afterwards I was invited to attend a reception compliments of the British and German embassy.

After that we popped in to the college bar for a quick drink before heading to the final practice at the Icelandic dance company. I had received an invitation an could bring a guest. But the night was not over there because I really wanted to attend concerts of this young composer and singer who was just releasing her first album. They were great! Stopped afterwards again for a quick drink before heading home.

In all a pretty good day.
