I understand rules, and I usually follow them. But sometimes, rules are silly, and not following them is just common sense. At least I think so. Something happened last night, that pictures it quite well. I thought I’d share the anecdote with you Lovelies. In Montréal, hockey is almost a religion. Our local professional team,…… Continue reading Bend the rules… For chicken wings’ sake!
I am not disdainful. It is a feeling I very rarely feel. I think three of the only things that make me gag, are Blood vessels and everything that has to do with the vascular system (I’m ok with blood, as long as it is not my own!) Aquamation. One word: Yuck!! I will…… Continue reading P like pube… A to Z Challenge
This morning, as I was catching up with the overnight activity here on WordPress, and on Facebook, I noticed that a good friend of mine had tagged me in a post. We don’t talk on a regular basis, but I know that when she sends me something, it will be worth checking out. I…… Continue reading I’m jealous… (I want to borrow Greenland too!)
I had a little surprise waiting for me when I checked the mail today. Aalborg is a city in Denmark, that I visited during my three trips to Vikingland, and where two good friends of mine live. A couple of weeks ago, while surfing through Aalborg’s website, I made an online request for a touristic…… Continue reading News from Aalborg…
We changed the couch blanket yesterday night. The days are getting colder and colder, and it seemed fit to do so. But taking out the warmer blankie also meant having to share it with Miss Freja. I was minding my own business, reading some stuff on my tablet, when she hopped on the sofa,…… Continue reading If Mumz do it… I do it too!
Chéri, showing me his tablet, obviously excited; “Look, now I can use a vacuum cleaner to find new clues in Criminal Case!” (Facebook game). Me; … Me, thinking; (We have a vacuum cleaner too, you know?) I wonder if I should hide clues in the apartment?
Copenhagen’s Airport. The duty free shopping area is filled with passengers looking for a bargain on their way to board their plane. Alcohol bottles, beauty products, ridiculously oversized candy bars… The baskets get full and lines are forming towards the cashiers. When my turn comes, I give the clerk a quick look. The young,…… Continue reading Little things…
If you are an usual of The Cove, you might know about the concept of “hygge”. You also are familiar with it if you have Viking blood, or have once visited Denmark. If you don’t fit any of those categories, rest assured. I never run tired of talking about Denmark, or anything Danish! “Hygge”,…… Continue reading My little hyggekrog…
I love waking up with the city… The temporary calmness that lingers just before the frenzy of the day to come. People slowly emerge, cars run slowly, dogs get walked, the first train waits patiently. You can tell when night switches to day again… The sun has nothing to do with it. It is…… Continue reading Waking…
I’ve been on hold, for 30 minutes, waiting to talk to someone from my bank’s costumer service. I just want to tell them that I’ll be out of the country, so they don’t think that someone is frauding me. I know it will take about 2 minutes, when I get the line. IF I get it.…… Continue reading Seriously? You call that customer service?
