The bar we wanted to go to last night was closed for a private event so we tried to see if barmini would take us without a reservation, and they had space. Excellent cocktails and service as you’d expect!

It was so odd to me, I took a video (I don’t take a lot of videos!)

My friend Hrannar wears shorts all the time. I never got it until this last trip. (I don’t wear them all the time) and here’s some proof, along with a geirfugl statue near Reykjanesviti

Can’t video record the lock screen apparently, but here’s what it looks like without the clock and widgets.

This photo has been on my lock screen this morning and the spatial scene that the iPhone creates makes it delightful.

Nice sunset, if a bit on the early side

The Ballston Wetland Park is such a weird park. Beautiful little wetland shoehorned between I66 and the butt-end of Ballston, but the whole human-accessible part of the park seems to be little more than a sidewalk and a viewing platform.

Fun fact, too: Reykjavík has a set of these at one intersection (Laugavegur at Lækjargata) and the woman version of these on the other end of the street (Laugavegur at Snorrabraut).

Got a care package from Iceland today with lots of tasty treats! Thanks @villineto.bsky.social! Brightened up an otherwise gray day!

Because of the record October snowfall in Reykjavík, I’m wearing my Bónus snow socks

Made mini-rúgbrauð in a mug at home. I used this recipe from King Arthur, but cut it in half and changed the bake temp and added a bain marie.

Flavor is very good, but needs to be more moist. Have ideas for the next attempt. Meanwhile, this will be dinner with some lax and butter!

Providencia are doing some of the best cocktails in DC at the moment. Interesting ingredients, fantastic flavors.

Well deserved Michelin recommendation

I keep track. As far as I can tell, I haven’t flown TF-FIU, but I’ve only been keep track for a few years.

This setting is weird. I want to get push notifications when someone I follow replies to me, but I also want to see all my notifications in the app notifications tab. That doesn’t seem possible? (Someone I don’t follow replied but there’s no notification in app, maybe it’s a bug?)
