On a brighter note

my friend Nico's got a series of three posts about the Faroe Islands that must not be missed (aside from everything else, Nico's prose style is undergoing the most lovely development under the influence of blogging, he's now got it working so that it produces almost exactly the same effect as his conversational style, a trick that cannot be pulled off by simple transcription!): #1 (on liquid nourishment, with extraordinary watery Turneresque landscapes--mmmm, swimming...); #2 (on fly-catching); and #3 (on singing in English).
