Weekend of Ash

So Friday the wind changed direction and came straight from the volcano, which means Reykjavik experienced massive amounts of ash. The recommended safety level is around 50 and we hit 270. Still today I cannot see Esja from my window, which is usually easy to do, even on overcast days. So I have stayed inside since I came home early Saturday morning from the team building dinner at Vegamot, Kaffibarinn and Barbaras. :) (it was a very good night out).





Yesterday it was mostly gray anyway, but today the sun is out again, however I'll stay inside just in case, what with me having hay fever and all, I wont risk some asthma attack sneaking up on me. Better safe than sorry, since I have not bought any medication yet. I have not bought any medication since the levels of pollen has simply been so low, that I have barely felt any hay fever this year. Normally I am pretty miserable for 4-5 days in May when the Birch trees explode in Copenhagen, but luckily they are few and far apart here in Reykjavik.

It hasn't been all that bad staying inside though, as I have discovered a rather enjoyable free to play MMO called Allods, it is heavily inspired by WOW, but the world has enough of its own quirky charm to keep you captivated. Well at least when playing the Empire (the evil side I assume) which borrows its look and feel from soviet Russia. The quest dialogue is quite amusing and tha artwork easy on the eye, with the arisen faction being of particular interesting design.
