The final dance set on the Granville Island "Winterruption Festival" "Pop-up Dance Tour" features dancers from "Raices y Alas Flamenco" in the Creek House Courtyard. Great action, but unfortunately I should have reverted to my wide range zoom lens to get better shots of all the dancers.

Tasting Britain got the chance to meet the people behind the short lived (but enlightening) Icelandic Pantry, a 3 day food popup in where else but Borough Market (between 7-10 October). The market hosted 14 artisan food producers from all over this tiny country (apparently a grand total of about 320,000 people live on Iceland, making it one of the most sparsely populated countries on the planet).
What brings them here? Well, it seems that even Iceland is getting the foodie bug - The Icelandic Pantry is the countryâs largest food fair, taking place in Reykjavik every year (I think?). Founders, Eirný Sigurðardóttir and HlédÃ-s Sveinsdóttir (nah, I canât pronounce it either) got the offer from Visit Iceland to bring their fair to the UK, and here we are.
So yes, I canât say I know all that much about Icelandic cuisine (until now!) but was really quite surprised by how GOOD the food at the preview was. Wow. True, an initiative sponsored by the Icelandic tourism board is probably going to send the best of the best BUT if you like seafood, this might very well be some of the best that you've had the pleasure of eating. Much of it is very healthy as well, wild cured meat and fish, made much in the same way it has been for centuries. And itâs all (AFAIK) sustainably sourced too. Amazing!
Whatâs on offer? A lot - so Iâll pick out some highlights for you: blueberry-cured mutton, flatbread made to a 9th century recipe, blueberry butter (yeah this is actually a thing and itâs delicious), and something described to me as âan eco-whey drink blended with wild Iceland moss and Arctic thymeâ. Plus said delicious seafood, more tasty things made out of sheep, and lots of sweet treats...
A popup bar has appeared in Brighton on the east beach opposite Madeira Terrace using containers which have been repurposed as a venue. A modern idea and not too different to trendy places in London. The development appears to have been built by a company called Eldapoint.
Just observing a nice little, very isolated popup shower right over my area late this afternoon. Fun fun! Pics taken from around San Jose, CA. (Late Thursday, March 26, 2020)
*Brief weather update/short term forecast:
