An Icelandic Adventure (II)

Daughter phoned this morning. She said, "You were an excellent holiday companion. You weren't annoying at all!"

Um, thank you. I would say the same thing about her. She is excited to visit bookshops. She wants to visit bookshops. She doesn't stand around in bookshops looking bored. And we both like cake, and, even though she didn't have one, she encouraged me to have an ice cream in Iceland.

I only bought three books (the one on the right is a birthday present for Daughter) but have come home with a long list of books about Iceland or by Icelandic authors that I want. I would have bought some books for the grandchildren but a picture book about The Thirteen Yule Lads of Iceland cost about £30. A picture book! Yes, mine cost the same or more but they're thicker!
