Something to aspire to?

Here in Niceland, when someone's making money, we have an idiom: "They're getting hairy palms".

Meanwhile, Fréttablaðið has a daily feature called "Question of the Day" in which they ask someone - often someone who has been in the news - a question.

No prizes, then, for guessing what they asked the beautician from yesterday's post.

Heheh.

MEANWHILE, MEC HAS BEEN VINDICATED
Very logically they have come to believe that the mitts they sent me the other day were wrongly labelled. After all, the 'small' I received is a foot long - a full 12 inches - from top to bottom ... which just doesn't compute. So they've offered to reimburse me for the postage to send the mitts back to them, and to send me a new pair for free. Icelandic vendors: watch and learn.

AS FOR OUR DELIGHTFUL NOVEMBER WEATHER
Gloomy - overcast, wet, breezy [8-15 m/s]. But mild: 9°C [48F] here in the capital; the sun came up at 9.55 and will go down at 4.28 pm.
