THE ‘BEST’ PARTY WINS IN ICELANDIC ELECTION:

COMEDIAN NOW THE MAYOR OF REYKJAVIK

A joke political party in Iceland, started six months ago by a comedian, won the most seats during a local election The party, know simply as “the Best” won local elections in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik, scoring 34.7% of the vote and securing 6 of 15 seats of the city council.

Today arrived sunny and breezy, so like a flash I was up and the washing machine was in overtime, two loads are now on the clothesline outside flapping in the breeze. Lovely.

Then it was off to the local shops to buy some batteries for my flashlight, I have a LED torch that you only need to wind up to charge but I like to have a spare on hand. Picked up the Sunday papers which usually takes me most of the week to read, paid off a layby, bought some hair conditioner, pet food and a new dog blanket for the dogs bed (warm and cosy).

Listening to the weather channel giving update reports on the storm going through the south coast of New South Wales -a state in Australia-, 6,000 without power, shattered windows and roof damage. The storm is heading towards Sydney but hopefully it will have blown itself out by the time it heads further north.

Rainfall is expected for another 6 days.

I will have developed web feet by then.

I was listening to the radio today when weather reports of hail and rain in the Sydney area were announced, by the time I got home the storm had already gone through leaving behind no electricity to the house, a sodden yard and scared dogs.

Luckily soon after I bought in my groceries and attended to the dogs the electricity came back on, so I didn't have to get out the candles and torch to see my way around.

With the eminent cancellation of the flagship Law & Order series, maybe the networks can replace it with this version.

Back to work today after having 4 days off last week, first phone call this morning was from work supervisor to say as my leave was for family reasons, then instead of using my annual leave I could use 4 days of my domestic leave. Yay.

Domestic leave is to be used for caring for a sick relative, family death/funeral, etc.

So that means I still have 4 weeks of accumulated annual leave, so my work supervisor will be contacting me soon to take some time off. D'oh!

I'm currently on leave because I had too much leave accumulated. So I have had a couple of trips down to Sydney to see my new grandchild.

Today I had a day home which I spent doing a couple of loads of washing and gave my two dogs a bath and shampoo. They smell quite nice now and are allowed into the house to visit.
