ok, ignore the child and just focus on

dat lopapeysa..

i need that in my life. asap.

i love the colours, i love the pattern, and the buttons are adorable! a really nice change because most of these sort of things are pullovers, and that's not always what you want to wear.

i'll either be spending an awful lot of money in a few weeks time,

or adopting a nice Icelandic grandmother!

oh look. soundproofing stuff.

i need that, right now, because the person above me is moving things around

and i have the worst headache in the universe ;___;

this is skyr. 

i am going to shove as much of this stuff in my mouth (and suitcase) as is physically possible

which won't be pretty, but it will be worth it. 

high protein low fat yummy thick yoghurt yay! 

somebody told me that they sell it here, so i went on a skyr hunt the other day, 

but typically, you can't get it anywhere. not even in Whole Foods.

so,
for day two of my "things i want", i figured i may as well include a house

it's cute, right?

well this is in Grjótaþorpið, one of the oldest parts of Reykjavík.

it was for sale back in 2010, so i doubt that it'll still be on the market by the time i can afford it..

but it's quite typical of the older styles of housing in this city - and it's a style that i adore.

the only thing that could make it better would be if it were red, or close to Tjörnin. 

back to something more reasonable now,

for as long as i can think, i've been interested (to an almost geeky extent) in the solar system, galaxies, stars and all things space-related. 

one of the things i miss the most about being outside of London, is being able to look up and see the stars and planets, so i'd quite like a poster like this to stick up on my ceiling. 

failing that, i'll be bulk-buying glow in the dark star stickers.

i want this.

in literally any shape or form. in chocolate, in a latte, as a toffee or chewy sweet. i do not care.

salted caramel is one of the nicest things ever and it neeeeds to be around more in England!

lastly

who doesn't love narwhals? 

they're the unicorns of the ocean, and probably the prettiest things swimming the arctic waters.

they aren't unthinkably big (like whales), and they swim in between the ice sheets in lines, occasionally sticking their beautiful horns out of the water.

i can thank Frozen Planet for reminding me of how much i love these animals :)
