Evening in Odense…

« Do you mind preparing your sandwich yourself today? I have too much trouble breathing» he said sitting on the couch. No I don’t mind. I do mind though that making a tuna sandwich is too much of an effort, and that obviously, though I insisted, he will not go to the clinic just yet. If he…… Continue reading Evening in Odense…

Fun facts (part 3)

  Discussing with a Danish friend living in Denmark this morning (Québec time – so, late afternoon time in Denmark… Yeah time zones make overseas friendships master the art of being bi-timable) , at one point he told me; 20 minute break. I need to shovel some melting snow before it gets dark! One more unique…… Continue reading Fun facts (part 3)

I had a walk in Svendborg…

I woke up early this morning, which isn’t like me. I already knew it would be a weird day. As I sat with my tablet, like others take the newspaper, I noticed the sorrow that had been in my throat since I had opened my eyes. I shed a tear, than another… Tears are like…… Continue reading I had a walk in Svendborg…

Guilty pleasures…

We all have a song that we enjoy only with our head phones on. Not because it is a bad song, far from it. There’s just an innate feeling telling us to keep our enthusiasm down a little… We might wonder why we can’t help but dance when the first chords hit our ears, knowing…… Continue reading Guilty pleasures…

L’avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt…

  French saying literally meaning « future belongs to those who wake up early ». Being a not-getting-up-early-preferably kind of person, I don’t especially like this saying. Not that I feel like I lost my chance to own the future or anything like it. But I just don’t like the habit that get-up-early people have to scrub…… Continue reading L’avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt…

Knus…

Yesterday was the International hugging day, and you might say I overlooked it, and didn’t do my job, but you’d be wrong! I didn’t mention it because of two excellent reasons. I was working all day, and had a Danish class with Lucas after. And when I came back home in the evening, I didn’t…… Continue reading Knus…

International day of the day…

OK, after yesterday’s international hugging day, we’re getting serious here. It is; International Answer your cat’s questions day! I really should have warned you sooner… There must be at least one family on the planet that has picked this exact day to adopt a dog. How wrong. Now what if someone, from that family, was…… Continue reading International day of the day…

Caught in the action…

I’ve just been caught in the office’s women’s bathroom practicing my energetic, yet elegant Valkyrie footwork… Immediate frowning and obvious judging were thrown at me heartlessly. But I don’t mind… We’ll see who’ll be left laughing when I take the janitor’s soul one day!

Solnedgang…

Solnedgang… That word comes from my bag of favorite Danish words. Literally; “moment the sun goes down”. I just like it. Because it sounds good and it has a warm feeling to it. Maybe that’s the winter making me talk, but I don’t think so, because I liked solnedgang before this winter. This morning I…… Continue reading Solnedgang…
