Had a good time. The weather was damp and windy in Scotland. Clear as a bell in Iceland but "windy" was hardly the word. It blew an almost constant 40 mph.

Got our picture in the newspaper in Scotland: The Herald.   Always a surprise.

Skarpi was unable to attend the Reykjavik. Something came up at the last moment. We did meet Chris Foster however.

Hi Dan
Robbie was guest at the Frank Harte Festival back in September. He gave a talk on Frank entitled 'Professer Superfluous' It was absolutely magic. He is a great singer and a natural entertainer. I'd love to get to Scotland to join in the fun, but alas I'm busy, busy, busy.
Say hello to Robbie for me (and also to the lovely Bonnie) talk to you soon.

Fergus
