byronic :: mad bad and dangerous to know

Video Post

A perfect weekend: flew to Copenhagen to meet placesthatpull and strepitupido (who took all the pictures here). We celebrated BT’s birthday; listened to some fine Danish jazz; got swept by the Nordic Sea wind; drank Christmas beer and Port; ate lovely food (including reindeer salami, sorry Rudolph); read some John Irving (a novel so far largely set in Scandinavia).
