Today is my dad’s birthday. I got him a present, but I don’t know when it will arrive. You can wish him a Happy Birthday in the comments below, if you want.

Today has alternated between very busy and very slow. This morning I worked almost constantly until lunch assisting Julie with Bessie. I got a compliment from Magnus. I was making Bessie’s feet wiggle as she lay on a lounge chair and he said “I like the feet jiggling.” Of course everything else in that shot had gone horribly wrong, so that might have been the only nice thing he could say.

I pass this bus stop every day on my way to work. This is my boss. Almost all the bus stops in Reykjavik have a picture of one of the cast members.

And since some of you have asked about the people that I keep mentioning, here’s a picture of Sarah (who plays Trixie) and Raymond, my fellow Assistant Puppeteer.
