Waiting for the mailman…

Looking out the window, febrile as a child. I have an envelope on its way from Denmark, and that is always exciting. Like yesterday and the day before, I wait in the living room until I hear the mailman’s vehicule getting parked in front of my apartment for our street’s daily delivery. It seems he…… Continue reading Waiting for the mailman…

Cups song…

That song always finds its way home, to the back of my head that would be. It plays in loops, giving me an urge to tap on my living room table, wondering what if…? What when…? I’ve been told spring and winter are the best times to visit, weather wise… I would have loved to…… Continue reading Cups song…

A night out in København…

Back from a long day at work… I throw my bags on the living room’s armchair and head to the kitchen to heat myself a small bowl of hot, slow cooked chili in the microwave. Yeah, sometimes, I’m lazy like that. I eat my loot without any rush, catching up with some correspondence that cannot…… Continue reading A night out in København…

Him Almighty…

From now on, you shall be three! He had spoken, there was nothing to be done about it. He was feared by all, and not without reason… He had super powers nobody could fight against, you see?

Chikane…

Languages are funny… Today, I opened my daily Danish cross-word, to practice a bit. And it happened again! See #4? There it is again… 2 days in a row. Why? Is someone from the website following my blog and intentionally put “længsel” in my daily grid to wink at me? Is it the website’s way…… Continue reading Chikane…

Hey there Lebanon!

Yeah you there! I’ve seen you in my stats and you intrigue me 🙂 “Why haven’t you waved at Australia or Germany in the past? Why does Lebanon get so much of your attention suddenly? Planin on cheating on Denmark? Unfaithful girl, keep your hugs and kisses for Denmark, it’s been doing pretty much all…… Continue reading Hey there Lebanon!

Shopping for couches…

This title just doesn’t sound right… For a French speaking girl it doesn’t. “Une couche” (plural: des couches) is a diaper. So my brain being on the French/English switch when I blog, I can’t get passed the awkwardness of shopping for diapers… Not that it is awkward per say. But I don’t have a baby,…… Continue reading Shopping for couches…

Fun fact

  Everybody knows Häagen Dazs ice cream… What everybody doesn’t know, it that although the company is American, the brand’s name was invented as a tribute to Denmark. The founder wanted a Danish-sounding name but it is completely made up, and doesn’t mean anything (in any language). In real life, Häagen Dazs couldn’t be a…… Continue reading Fun fact
