Today, a holiday Monday edition of The Week In Iceland.

This week Darren is joined by his RÚV colleague Alexander Kristjánsson, to look back on a week of weather, interest rates rising, inflation falling, a new direct flight route announced between the UK and Akureyri, data showing seemingly the entire TV watching nation glued to Eurovision, and new tunnels due to be built in eastern Iceland.

Today's show plays out with Nanna from Of Mice And Men, and the title track from her new solo album "How To Start A Garden".
