There is nothing quite so wonderful as money

Really, I'm no fun these days, what with my nose immersed in books and glossaries and excruciatingly dull sample texts*. So in lieu of my sparkling wit and exuberant demeanor, allow me to share with you a short video created by a reader who visited Iceland at Christmastime, a video that explains precisely why we Nicelanders behave like extravagant tycoons every time we travel abroad.

Um ... I'm guessing he found it a tad expensive here?

[Thanks Doug!]


RIGHT NOW I'M LOOKING OUT AT A PINK SKY
It's been snowing on and off today - sometimes a lot, sometimes a little. We had moderate winds, which was good, and meant that our YT managed to get in the first decent run in days. Not a moment too soon, either, because weatherman sez we're in for a storm tonight and tomorrow with 'precipitation' - whatever that means. The fun just never stops - that's what it means. Right now 1°C [34F] and sunrise was at 9.54, sunset at 5.30 pm.

* Studying for an exam.
