Back from Up North #1

[jesse_the_k]

Spent a lovely long weekend in Up North in Rhinelander. Tragically, the air quality was unhealthy for sensitive groups so I couldn't swim. I hate this timeline.

We cooked up a storm, including a strawberry crumble to die for, based on Nigella Lawson's recipe made GF on the fly.

I spent most of my time chatting with great friends and admiring beautiful clouds. So lovely I didn't take any pictures!

I'm giving myself comment amnesty, so feel free to drop pointers to your DW in the comments.

Sorry you couldn't swim, I remember the post you usually make every year about how much you love it. : (

I have a question for you, because you are my expert on socialist songs in English. Do you know an English version of this lovely Icelandic Mayday song with lyrics by Halldór Laxness? There's a translation here, though it clearly isn't meant to be sung.

I'm sorry you didn't get to swim. :( It sounds like a nice trip though.

Oh, not being able to swim is THE WORST. On our recent trip to the UP, we had the smoky air too, but not being THAT sensitive, I swam anyway.
