99 bottles of beer on the wall…

  Post number 99… I can barely believe it. 99 posts about Denmark, and anything Danish, and kittens, and Polar Bears and foxes, and walks in my head, and Christmas pictures…. I am anticipating #100. I wonder if WordPress will throw a major cyber-party for me… Will I get a balloon bouquet and a glass…… Continue reading 99 bottles of beer on the wall…

Pursuing the Valkyrie dream…

I got a letter from Odin yesterday. He seems pretty impressed with my interest in the job. And he has a few buts…  Among those; Not good looking enough. (Odin will have to do with my face, not changing that) Not tall enough. (Maybe I can find shoes that’ll help) Not fluent yet (Odin doesn’t…… Continue reading Pursuing the Valkyrie dream…

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 shed a tear, than another… Tears are like…… Continue reading I had a walk in Svendborg…

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…

Work in progress…

I am still training my Valkyrie moves, and I thought I’d give sword fighting a try! But I don’t have a sword yet, and no opponent either. So I attacked my coat hanger fiercely with an empty paper towel carton tube in my hand, tripped on my selfmade white gown, fell to the ground and…… Continue reading Work in progress…

I need a soulbag…

Since I decided to be a Valkyrie, I made a little research to be sure to be a good one. I Googled “How to be a good Valkyrie”, but most of the suggested links seemed to be about role-playing (which I already know too much about) and videogames (which I couldn’t care less about). I…… Continue reading I need a soulbag…
