8,000 and counting…

. Just a little less than 8 years ago, bending over my office keyboard, I was opening an account on WordPress, thus creating my dear little Cove. I first did it, because a friend who enjoyed my offline writing thought I should spread my words out. It was also meant to be a place where…… Continue reading 8,000 and counting…

”If you have a dream…

. You have a responsibility to yourself to make it come true . Because if you don’t you’re just a dreamer”. These words from renowned chef, Marco Pierre White, would probably resonate with Torbjørn C. Pedersen. And why is that, you might wonder? Well, the 44 years old Dane just completed quite an accomplishment, by…… Continue reading ”If you have a dream…

Fighting the back-home blues…

. It’s already been three weeks since Chéri and I traveled back home after our amazing second (for him) and fifth (for me) tour around Denmark. As I mentionned in previous posts, the return to Montréal is always followed by a period of blues.  This time didn’t differ. Physically, my batteries have recharged, and I…… Continue reading Fighting the back-home blues…

Band-Aid Memories…

. . Aching dawns, Sore evenings… Sometimes, time Looses any meaning. Bad news forced down my throat. I gag a little But I still hope For a twist An unexpected turn With little luck The planet won’t burn… Down, and to heal My worries I turn to my Band-Aid memories.

One of these days…

. Yesterday was a very long day… Having started in Copenhagen and finished in Montréal, it stretched over 30 hours instead of the usual 24. It started smoothly, with a cup (ok two) of tea on our fifth floor balcony. Closely followed by a last round around the apartment to make sure we weren’t forgetting…… Continue reading One of these days…

Farewell Denmark!

. Last night… Again. The same contentment, the same pain. Thank you Denmark for the great weather, the good times and the chance encounters. Thank you for the amazing landscapes, the glorious rapefields, and the lilac trees in full bloom. Thank you for meeting with old friends. And thank you for the break from our…… Continue reading Farewell Denmark!

Lingering thoughts….

. The night sighs At long last, While I Reminisce the past Of things come And things done, What I shouldn’t And could have done… My mind is weary, My feet are sore. I’ve walked the lands And along the shores Thinking I was Strong enough to say I could push your haunting Presence away.…… Continue reading Lingering thoughts….

Another (long) walk around town – The Turtle’s Journey

. Day three started with a little scare, since this was the view from our balcony. I thought I might have broken Copenhagen! Luckily it seemed to have been more of a smoke-show than anything else, because we didn’t find any mention on the fire on the internet, and everything was under control when we […]…… Continue reading Another (long) walk around town – The Turtle’s Journey

An evening at Tivoli Gardens… – The Turtle’s Journey…

. Day two started rather smoothly. A three weeks tour around Denmark is a marathon, not a sprint and we figured we didn’t need to be out and about as soon as the sun rose, although I was awake when the first rays appeared over the horizon. We left the apartment a little before noon, […]…… Continue reading An evening at Tivoli Gardens… – The Turtle’s Journey…
