Iceland in November

If nothing else, for the Seafood Cellar

New tunes? Have been wearing down the iNeedle on the new Arcade Fire single, Cold Wind, and a couple of borrowed CDs, notably South San Gabriel and The Magic Numbers. Of less success, sadly, is Frank Black's Honeycomb. A little more zip, Frank.

Brittany

Lucked out with a nice week in Brittany - quiet beaches, hot weather, bracing ocean. Local town oozed good bakeries, small wine stores and a good butcher.
