I’m glad to hear that my post was of use to someone. Thanks for leaving a note. I enjoyed looking at your pictures. Good luck with your trip in March–I’ll try to remember to go back and look at your pictures from the trip.

Hi Bill,
I great “thank you” to you, because due to your article I was able to buy the – indeed really cool – raised relief map of Iceland in that icelandic store. I also had to use a translation program to translate Icelandic into Dutch but it seemed to word to understand everything. I am from Belgium and going in march for the 4th time to Iceland, which is becoming my second fatherland haha. If you want to see some pics of a previous and other trips, be free to visit my photosite https://picasaweb.google.com/109032279438200011844
Thanks again for the great recommendation on that map !!!

Comment on Searching for scody by Tom

I too have been searching for the origins of scody and why it became a word for grubby and dilapidated- so stumbled across your page. I grew up in Scotland in the 70s and moved to New Zealand a few years ago from the UK. I’ve only ever heard it here in NZ and no-one I ask has any idea of its etymology- except that they’ve ‘always used it’ here. A great many New Zealanders use the word. To confuse the issue, it’s now the name of a major Australian cycling brand.
I always knew those Aussies were a bit scody.

I cover my head with baklava in the winter… THAT was my favorite by far. Fitting, I know.

I was thinking of burning my television, in the spirit of new media.

Comment on quilling by Antonella

Did you also know that the word Quilling is also known as Paper Filigree and refers to an art form where you take strips of paper and roll, glue, and shape them to decorate items or create designs? Interestingly, the name here is also derived from the quill - it was used as the tool to wrap the paper around to get the basic shape. I have a blog about it if you want to check it out: http://www.quilling.blogspot.com antonella :-)
