A law was just passed in Iceland that I believe means that people don't have to seek consent from neighbours and building managers before owning a pet and, as comments on Facebook agree, I have never heard of a country where so many people have life threatening dog/cat allergies

So the antibiotics have helped me recover mostly and my fever is gone HOWEVER antibiotics affect how effective HRT is so the hot flushes and night sweats are, unfortunately, back

forever teetering on ledge between the kind of chronically unwell that makes you inspiring and brave and the kind of chronically unwell that makes you a burden on society that they'd rather not exist

Yknow, I love talking about Iceland and my life in Iceland on my YouTube but I'm seriously considering taking a sharp detour because I'm already starting to notice an uptick in xenophobia and I'd like to nip it in the bud before it destroys my mental health

I don't want much, but seeing the look on my NHS gynaecologist's face at everything that has transpired since I moved to Iceland (because my gynaecologist here actually listens to me) would give me such joy.
He was such an misogynistic, ableist asshole that I guarantee it would be disgust.

I've not been this sick for years and have found myself on antibiotics for the first time in a long time.
You could drop £1k on the ground in front of me and I'd just look at it. I don't have the strength or energy to pick it up

/Some/ Icelandic netizens are on a mad one because the ICESAR fundraiser keychain isn't a white person this year, but rather depicts a SE Asian man.
So in case you're wondering how a primarily white, homogeneous society copes with diversity... racism is alive and well here!

The reason that I don't have a Facebook page for my YouTube channel is that, although it would probably get decent traffic based on my YT primary demographic, the idea of having to appeal to boomers who fall for AI generated slop makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs

The funniest thing to have happened amongst Icelandic netizens recently was people from outside of Reykjavík "lighting" digital candles and sending thoughts and prayers to the people of the south during the recent snow storm

Why can't Brits mind our own damn business? Me and husband check out at 9:59am and as we walk to reception, one woman tuts and says loudly "well they're leaving it until the last minute to check out"
Sorry we can't all be perfect like you, Sandra. Didn't realise you were the check out police.

Being stuck in an airport for 5 hours is bad enough but have you been stuck in a tiny airport with 1 gate for 5 hours??? I am bored out of my mind and the 8 hour flight hasn't even started yet

My husband's work organises a trip every 2 years and tomorrow we go to Tenerife which is great and all but I have planned exactly 0% of this trip and as a self certified control freak of a trip planner, I feel like I'm going to lose my god damn mind
