If I wasn't so obsessed with Estonia ...

... I would be completely obsessed with Iceland. This video calls me to jump on a plane and then spend several days investigating volcanic rock and dressing children like orphans. But the song is beautiful, Sigur Ros: Glósóli, one of those haunting tunes that stays with you. Back to the writing ...

ETA A friend just sent me this link which apparently is a simple test to see if you are dominantly right or left brained. I am horrified to learn that I am mung-bean loving right brainer! It's a treacherous example of nature overcoming nurture after I've spent years learning how to score perfect dictator results on MB tests!

Heh! Hurrah for your adaptable brain! It's quite impressive, especially your lovely use of colours.

And at last! Someone I can share my once Icelandic joke with:

What do you do if you get lost in a forest in Iceland?

Stand up.

Lol - Well, I had an obsession with Finland actually but Iceland is very interesting as well. But now a little none-Icelandic joke for you:
A young man was applying for a job as policeman. The interviewer asked: "How would you disperse a crowd?"
The answer was: "I'd pass my hat."

(And if you speak French, that's my favourite:
Qu'efqu'un canife?
Un petit fien.)
